Piercing Care

Features
Read full description

Track every piercing on its own clock. Piercing Care counts the days since each piercing and shows the general settle-in stage and downsize window for that placement, plus optional saline-rinse reminders. Piercings feel settled on the surface long before the inside is ready, and every placement runs on a different timeline - a lobe is not a helix, a helix is not a conch. When you have several going at once, no one can hold all those clocks in their head. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a piercing: pick the placement and the date it was done. 2. Piercing Care counts the days and maps them to general placement-based timelines. 3. You see the current stage, the typical downsize window, and a simple saline-rinse routine. It takes 20 seconds to set up. No account required. CORE FEATURES Day Counter See exactly how many days it has been for each piercing, with the general stage for that point in time. Downsize Window Know the typical week range when a longer post is usually swapped for a shorter one - different for every placement. Placement Library Browse general timelines for lobe, helix, conch, tragus, nostril, septum, navel, and more. PRO FEATURES Upgrade to Pro for more: - Track unlimited piercings at once, each on its own clock - Precise downsize window and settle-in estimate per placement - Personal-factor adjustment for your own timeline - Saline-rinse and downsize reminders - Care log with progress photos - What-to-expect reference cards for each stage PRIVACY FIRST - No account, no login - All data stored locally on your device - No location collected - No tracking, no ads, no third-party analytics Piercing Care provides general, informational timelines based on common body-piercing guidance. It is an informational day-counter, not medical advice - it does not diagnose, treat, or assess infection. Everyone is different, so always follow the guidance of your qualified piercer.
