[What HitoriLog is] A completely private care log built for the one person carrying the caregiving. No account, no ads. Open it and record straight away. [12 things you can log] Temperature / Blood pressure / Hydration / Meals / Toileting / Medication / Sleep / Mood / Pulse / Weight / Blood sugar / Bathing One tap to record. You can edit or delete later, and deletions can be undone. [Honest notes] Wandering, harsh words, refusals, fall risk, good moments, and your own feelings as a caregiver. Free text and tags, written on the understanding that no one else sees them. Search your notes, filter them by tag and look back month by month, shown as simple counts, never as scores. [Looking back] A day-by-day timeline of every entry, plus charts for temperature, blood pressure, hydration and more (last 30 days). Blood pressure shows both systolic and diastolic, and each period lists its lowest, average and highest. [Backup and restore are free] Export every record to a file and read it straight back in. Export before you change phones and you can restore on the new one. No purchase required. [Premium (one-time purchase, no subscription)] - Visit summary: one PDF page with ranges, averages and latest values, plus how often each medication was taken and the days it was missed - PDF export: pick a period and generate a report to hand to a doctor or care manager.
