When the ER, hospital, or specialist asks for meds, allergies, history, documents, and contacts — Honored lets you hand it over immediately. Honored is a private care coordination app for adult children managing an aging parent's health. It keeps medications, allergies, conditions, appointments, notes, contacts, and care paperwork in one place, then turns confirmed information into a fast Emergency View, shareable text summary, and generated Emergency Packet PDF. WHAT'S INSIDE • Emergency Packet — identity, DOB, blood type, allergies, active medications, key conditions, clinicians, advance directive flag, and emergency contacts. Always up to date. • Medication list — track active, confirmed medications only. No guesswork at the pharmacy counter. • Appointment history — log visits and build a clinician list automatically. • Care notes — attribute updates to the right sibling or caregiver, with a full change history. • Document scanner — scan or import care paperwork and keep it with the record. • Weekly summary — drafted on-device, you review before sharing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No Honored backend — your records never touch a Honored-owned server. • No account required — start using the app without handing data to the developer. • No analytics, ads, or tracking SDKs. • Data stays on this device by default. • Optional private iCloud sync — mirrors through your Apple account only, not ours. • Face ID lock for the Emergency Packet and Emergency View. FOR CARE COORDINATION — NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Honored organizes records, updates, and emergency handoffs. It does not diagnose, treat, monitor, or recommend medication changes. PREMIUM Export the Emergency Packet as a PDF to print, fax, or share with a specialist. One subscription, one parent profile, unlimited exports.
