Coordinate daily care for your loved one across your whole family. CaregiverCareOps is a private, offline-first iOS app that helps families manage medications, appointments, routines, and caregiver handoffs โ€” all in one place. TODAY DASHBOARD See what needs attention right now. Overdue items, due-now tasks, and upcoming care in the next 4 hours are organized by urgency. Confirm doses, complete routines, and manage appointments with one tap โ€” so nothing gets missed or double-done. MEDICATION MANAGEMENT Add medications with flexible scheduling โ€” once daily, twice daily, every X hours, or custom times. Set start and end dates, track supply counts, and get refill warnings before you run out. Double-dose protection alerts you if a dose was already logged for the same time window. APPOINTMENTS & FOLLOW-UPS Track upcoming visits with pre-visit checklists, questions for the provider, transport details, and post-visit notes. Follow-up tasks stay visible until completed. DAILY ROUTINES Define recurring care tasks โ€” meals, hydration, exercise, personal care, monitoring, cognitive activities, sleep, and mobility. Set them as ongoing, for a date range, or a single day. Edit anytime as care needs change. CAREGIVER HANDOFFS Generate a handoff summary from recent activity โ€” completed tasks, skipped items, things needing attention, and recent changes. Add your own notes, then share with the next caregiver via text, email, or AirDrop. PDF EXPORT FOR DOCTOR VISITS Export a structured care summary as a PDF with active medications, dose history, appointments, and timeline events filtered by date range. Share it directly from the app for clinical review. SHARED TIMELINE Every care action โ€” doses logged, appointments completed, routines done, schedule changes โ€” is recorded in an append-only timeline visible to all caregivers. Filter by event type, caregiver, or date range. MULTI-CAREGIVER COLLABORATION (Coming soon) Invite up to 3 family caregivers with role-based access (owner, primary, secondary, read-only). Data syncs across devices via iCloud. Face ID protects access to admin functions. PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your devices and in your private iCloud. No third-party analytics, no ads, no data leaves the device for AI processing. On-device OCR for prescription label scanning and AI-assisted summaries use Apple's on-device models only. NATIVE iOS INTEGRATION Home screen widgets for quick status checks. Live Activities for active dose windows and appointment countdowns. Works fully offline.
