RemindRN ~ Nurse Shift Tracker

Features
Read 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 โ€” without the clutter of paper or the risk of entering data into the wrong system. WHAT IT DOES - Patient Room Tracking โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” Set countdown or count-up timers for any clinical need โ€” IV changes, wound care, medication windows. Timers fire on your lock screen and Apple Watch even when the app is backgrounded. - Lunch Break Timer โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” Completing a documentation item automatically marks the linked hourly slot done, and vice versa. Everything stays in sync without extra taps. - Recurring Tasks โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
