NurseScript
Read full descriptionHide full description
NurseScript lives between your brain and the chart. Speak or type what happened, get a clean SBAR, SOAP, DAR, PIE, or narrative note โ and let ChartGuard show you what a note like yours usually includes, before you save it. CHARTGUARD Falls, change in condition, wounds and skin, behavioral events โ each kind of note has its own list of what nurses are commonly expected to document. ChartGuard reads what you wrote, shows you the items it doesn't see yet, and asks you about them: post-fall vitals, neuro checks, who was notified and when. Tap what you observed or answer in your own words, and NurseScript drafts the lines from your answers. You read the suggested note and accept or decline each addition. Nothing is added to your note until you accept it, and nothing is written from anything you didn't say. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Dictate notes hands-free and get formatted documentation back โข Write and organize notes in SBAR, SOAP, DAR, PIE, or narrative styles โข See what a fall, wound, behavioral, or change-in-condition note is missing with ChartGuard โข Sketch, annotate, scan, and attach images on a full notepad canvas โข Generate NANDA-based nursing care plan drafts to work from โข Search across every note instantly โข Export a single password-protected backup you fully control BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your notes are encrypted on your device and protected behind Face ID / Touch ID. Nothing is posted to a public feed or shared without you. You can export an encrypted backup and restore it on a new device. MADE FOR NURSES AND STUDENTS Whether you're on the floor or in clinicals, NurseScript helps you document faster and study the structure of good notes. PLANS NurseScript is free to start. Pro unlocks AI-assisted formatting, ChartGuard, and care plan drafts; Pro + Voice adds unlimited voice dictation and transcription. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and renew automatically unless canceled; manage or cancel anytime in Settings. NurseScript supports your documentation workflow. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations, and does not replace clinical judgment or your facility's systems and policies.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Handoff AI at none against NurseScript's 4. Handoff AI also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.5). NurseScript's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
