HeartKit

Read full description

The heart-first health app that finds your patterns. HeartKit is built for people who care deeply about their cardiovascular health. It goes beyond steps and heart rate to track the markers that actually predict cardiac risk — and helps you see how your numbers move over time. LOG BLOOD PRESSURE IN SECONDS Add a reading with one-tap Quick Entry, or use the guided long entry with breath-control pacing — a calm, paced breathing animation that helps you settle before you measure for a more accurate result. TRACK THE MARKERS THAT MATTER Easily log the full picture, not just the basics: • Blood pressure and resting heart rate • Total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides • Lp(a), ApoB and hs-CRP — the modern preventive-cardiology markers • Fasting glucose, HbA1c, weight and more Fast, friction-free manual entry designed for people who test regularly. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE HeartKit brings your Apple Health vitals together with your manual entries, so your whole cardio picture lives in a single, beautiful hub. BEAUTIFUL TREND CHARTS See every marker as a clean, native chart across days, weeks, months and years. Spot the direction of travel at a glance — and bring the trends to your next doctor visit. DISCOVER YOUR PATTERNS HeartKit surfaces correlations between your markers in beautiful comparison charts, so you can see how things move together. Pattern discovery runs entirely on your device — it shows you what you noticed, never prescriptions or advice. HOME-SCREEN WIDGETS Keep your latest blood pressure and key vitals one glance away, right on your Home Screen. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your health data stays on your device and in your private iCloud. There are no developer servers, no third-party SDKs, no tracking, and no account to create. We don't collect your data — full stop. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE HeartKit is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or give medical advice. It surfaces your own data, charts and patterns so you can have better-informed conversations with your doctor. Always consult a qualified professional about your health. Track your heart. Find your patterns. Keep it private.

About

Lipida

Features
Read full description

Lipida is a focused, private cholesterol tracker built around a free, accurate LDL calculator. Enter your Total Cholesterol, HDL and Triglycerides and get your LDL in seconds — calculated with both the classic Friedewald equation and the more accurate Martin-Hopkins method, which gives you a better estimate at low LDL and high triglyceride levels where the old formula falls short. FREE LDL CALCULATOR • Two methods side by side: Friedewald and Martin-Hopkins. • Also computes non-HDL cholesterol and your Total:HDL ratio. • Clear, color-coded risk bands so the numbers actually mean something. TRACK EVERY PANEL • Save each result as a dated lab panel and build a complete history. • See where you started and where you are now at a glance. SEE YOUR TRENDS • Charts for LDL, Total and HDL over time. • Spot the direction of travel between tests, not just a single snapshot. STAY ON SCHEDULE • Set a local reminder for your next lab test so you never miss a check-up. PANEL REPORTS — OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Preview saved panels for a date range for free. • Unlock PDF and CSV exports with a single purchase. No subscription. • Calculator, history, trends, reminders and PDF import remain free. • Blood cholesterol panels stay in Lipida; Apple Health does not provide a serum cholesterol type. US AND INTERNATIONAL UNITS • Full support for both mg/dL (US) and mmol/L (Australia and UK). • Switch units anytime — the math stays correct. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Tracking works offline. Purchases and restore require the App Store. Your data stays on your device. • No ads, no accounts required, no tracking. Lipida is an informational tool, not a medical device, and not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always talk to your doctor about your results and any decisions regarding your health.
