Lab reports arrive every year, and most people file them away without a second look. MarkerMate gathers those numbers and turns them into something you can actually follow. ▼Problems it solves □Arrows and abbreviations on a lab report are hard to read — you can't tell which values are worth attention □Reports end up scattered across your photo library and different hospital portals □At a follow-up you only have the latest sheet, so you can't say whether things are better or worse than last time □Records for your parents start to blur together with your own □Health data ending up somewhere you don't control ▼What you do Record the numbers from your lab report; the app presents everything else. ▼Core Features □Scan to record — Photograph a lab report and 140+ indicators fill in automatically, no typing one by one. □Abnormal flags — Values are checked against reference ranges, so high, low, and normal read at a glance. □Trend charts — See how a single indicator moved from last year to this one. Free plans cover the first 6 indicators. □Statistics insights (Pro) — Abnormal values surface first, so you know where to look. □Family profiles (Pro) — A separate file for each family member, kept apart. □Pinned mode (Pro) — Pin the markers you follow and compare them side by side. □Custom standards — New hospital or different reference range? Switch standards and re-evaluate. □Export & share — PDF, CSV, or plain text, ready to show your doctor. □Private by design — Data stays on your device, with optional sync across your own devices via private iCloud database. ▼Supported Test Types □CBC & blood routine (WBC, RBC, hemoglobin, platelets…) □Lipid panel (total, HDL & LDL cholesterol, triglycerides…) □Diabetes (fasting glucose, HbA1c…) □Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4, antibodies…) □Liver & kidney function, urinalysis, electrolytes □Hormones, tumor markers, coagulation, cardiac enzymes, hepatitis B… □Custom standards for anything else ▼Made For □Anyone tracking cholesterol, blood sugar, or thyroid over time □People who get an annual physical and want to see the long arc □Families managing records for parents and kids □Patients with long-term follow-up ▼About Subscription □Core features are free: recording, scan-to-record, trends for the first 6 indicators, and data export. □Pro adds all indicator trends, statistics insights, multiple profiles, and pinned mode. □Monthly and annual plans both include a 1-week free trial; they renew automatically and can be cancelled anytime in system settings. □Lifetime is a one-time purchase with permanent access to Pro features. □Actual prices are shown in the app. Disclaimer: This app is for personal health record and data tracking purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
