dialysisPal. Open. Enter. Leave. I built this app because I got tired of waiting for my own data. I've been on peritoneal dialysis since 2016. Like most PD patients, I started tracking my treatment with pen and paper. Then a spreadsheet copied from my nephrologist's template. Then Airtable. It worked fine, except that opening it, entering my numbers, and waiting for the sync took one or two minutes every single time. That doesn't sound like much. But when you do it twice a day, every day, those minutes add up. Eventually I thought: I can build something faster. So I did. I've been using dialysisPal myself for almost a year now. It does exactly what I need, and nothing else. What dialysisPal tracks: Set up your profile once (your dialysate type and cycler configuration), then log your daily treatment in seconds: • Morning: ultrafiltration amount from your overnight treatment, dwell time, weight, blood pressure, pulse • During the day (optional): interim drainage if you do a midday drain • Evening: the rest of the day's drainage, plus your evening weight, blood pressure, and pulse That's all of it. No features you won't use, no menus to navigate. Open the app, tap in your numbers, you're done. Why tracking matters: Day to day, you feel fine. Your blood pressure looks normal this morning. Your weight hasn't changed much since yesterday. Everything seems okay. The tricky thing about peritoneal dialysis is that the problems that matter creep up slowly. Fluid builds up gram by gram. Blood pressure rises point by point. Any single reading tells you almost nothing. The trend tells you everything. dialysisPal makes that trend visible. Charts show you what's actually happening over time, not just what today felt like. What else it does: • Trend charts — ultrafiltration, weight, blood pressure, and drainage patterns over time • Export — generate PDF or CSV reports for your nephrologist appointments • HealthKit integration — your weight and blood pressure sync with Apple Health • iCloud sync — your data stays backed up privately across your iOS devices Sanity checks — catches obvious entry mistakes (like typing 700 kg instead of 70 kg) • Offline — works without internet • Accessible — full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type, WCAG AA compliance A few honest things: This is version 1. I use it myself every night, and it does what it needs to. The app is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no analytics, no account needed. Your data stays on your phone. I'm not a medical device company. Not a startup with a growth team. I'm someone who does PD every night and wanted a tracker that didn't waste my time. Now I'm sharing it with you.
