Clinada is the shift management app built exclusively for bedside nurses. Organize your entire shift — medications, labs, vitals, assessments, drains, and IVs — in one secure, HIPAA-compliant workspace. SHIFT PLANNING MADE SIMPLE Add your patients and build your shift schedule in seconds. Assign meds, labs, vitals, assessments, and procedures to specific time slots. See your full shift at a glance with color-coded task cards that update in real time as you complete care. MEDICATION TRACKING Schedule medications with frequency support (Q4H, Q6H, Q8H, BID, TID, QID, Daily, PRN). Track administration times, set reminders, and never miss a dose. Searchable medication database with thousands of entries. LABS & DIAGNOSTICS Track pending labs and diagnostic tests by time slot. Monitor what's due, what's been drawn, and what results are outstanding. Schedule recurring labs with the same flexible frequency options as meds. VITALS & ASSESSMENTS Log vital signs and head-to-toe assessments at each rounding interval. Keep your clinical data organized and accessible throughout the shift. DRAINS, FLUIDS & IVs Document drain outputs, IV infusions, and fluid management. Track I&O with precision and keep all clinical documentation in one place. CLINICAL NOTES Add free-text notes to any patient at any time slot. Capture important details, physician orders, family updates, and shift observations without switching apps. SECURE PATIENT HANDOFF Transfer patient data to the next nurse with end-to-end encrypted QR code handoffs. The receiving nurse scans the code and imports the full patient schedule — tasks, meds, labs, clinical notes, and SBAR report — directly into their shift. No paper brain sheets. No unsecure texting. SBAR REPORTS Generate structured SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) reports for each patient. Include in handoff data or use for bedside shift report. HIPAA-COMPLIANT SECURITY Your patient data is protected with AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit. Biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) locks the app after inactivity. Screen capture prevention keeps PHI off screenshots. No patient data is ever stored unencrypted. END-OF-SHIFT TOOLS Review completed tasks, generate shift summaries, and hand off seamlessly. Clinada helps you close your shift with confidence.

RemindRN ~ Nurse Shift Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
RemindRN is a shift management tool designed for nurses and clinical staff who need to stay on top of hourly charting, patient rooms, timers, and documentation — without the clutter of paper or the risk of entering data into the wrong system. WHAT IT DOES - Patient Room Tracking — Add rooms for each patient and monitor hourly charting status at a glance. Color-coded urgency indicators (red/yellow/green) tell you exactly what's overdue, due now, or on track. - Hourly Activity Log — Each room has a 14-slot hourly grid matching your shift window. Log notes per hour, mark slots complete, and get lock-screen reminders when it's time to chart. - Custom Timers & Alerts — Set countdown or count-up timers for any clinical need — IV changes, wound care, medication windows. Timers fire on your lock screen and Apple Watch even when the app is backgrounded. - Lunch Break Timer — Clock out for a 30 or 60-minute break with a native notification that fires when your break is ending, so you never lose track of time. - Documentation Checklist — A built-in checklist covers standard nursing documentation items (Print Strip, Assess, Focused, Safety, Pain, Meds, IV/Lines, and more). Customize it to match your unit's workflow. - Bidirectional Task Sync — Completing a documentation item automatically marks the linked hourly slot done, and vice versa. Everything stays in sync without extra taps. - Recurring Tasks — Add recurring tasks at Q1, Q2, Q4, Q6, or Q8 intervals and RemindRN will populate them across your entire shift grid automatically. - Shift Backup & Restore — Export your shift data as a JSON file and restore it anytime. Useful for handoff notes or personal records. BUILT FOR PRIVACY All data is stored locally on your device. RemindRN does not collect, transmit, or sync any information to external servers. No account is required. No login. Nothing leaves your phone. RemindRN is a shift organization tool for clinical staff. It is not an FDA-regulated medical device and is not intended for clinical decision-making. Do not enter patient health information (PHI) into this app. NOTIFICATIONS RemindRN uses iOS local notifications to alert you when hourly charting is due, timers expire, and lunch breaks end. Notifications work on the lock screen and Apple Watch. No push notifications or internet connection required. DESIGNED FOR YOUR SHIFT Supports day shifts (6 AM or 7 AM start) and night shifts (6 PM or 7 PM start) with automatic slot generation across your full 14-hour window.
