A calm notebook for looking after someone who's unwell.
Write down medicines, temperatures and how they've been. Hand over to the next carer. Print a clear page for the doctor.
Free. Works offline. Your notes stay on your phone.
What you can do
Log in one tap
Save each medicine once. After that, "Gave it now" is one tap, and the card tells you when it was last given.
Hand over
A plain summary of the last 12 hours. You read it first, then share it, copy it or text it to whoever's next.
For the doctor
The last day, 3 days or 7 days on one printable page: a temperature chart, medicines given, symptoms by day and your questions.
Every screen
Here is the whole notebook, one screen at a time.
Start the notebook
The first screen: type who you are looking after, or look at an example.
A fresh day
Today with the big buttons at the bottom, ready for the first note.
Save a medicine
Type the name and amount once. Add a gap in hours only if the label gives one.
Pick a medicine
One tap on Gave it now, or change the time.

Why we built it
When someone you love is ill, you're tired and worried, and it's often the middle of the night. Nobody can remember if the last dose was at two or at three. A scrap of paper gets lost.
We wanted a notebook that's big, quiet and quick, that never asks you to create an account, and that keeps a sick child's or a parent's details on your own phone and nowhere else.
How it works
- Type the name of the person you're looking after.
- Tap what just happened: medicine, temperature, symptom, food or drink, sleep or a note.
- When someone else takes over, tap Hand over. When you see the doctor, tap For the doctor and print.
Care Log only shows what you've written. Any medicine gap, like "no sooner than every 6 hours", is a number you type in yourself from the label or your doctor. Care Log never suggests one.
Questions and answers
Is Care Log medical advice?
No. Care Log is a notebook. It doesn't give medical advice. It doesn't say whether a temperature is high, and it doesn't suggest doses or how often to give a medicine. If you're worried, call your doctor or emergency number.
Where is my information kept?
On your phone, inside your browser, and nowhere else. There's no account and nothing is sent to us. Read the privacy page for every place information can go.
What if I clear my browser or lose my phone?
Your notebook goes with it. In More, tap Save a copy now and then to keep a file somewhere safe. On a new phone, tap Open a copy.
Can two carers use it?
Each phone has its own notebook. To pass things on, use Hand over, which sends a plain summary of the last 12 hours by share, copy or text.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Open it once with a connection, add it to your home screen, and it works offline after that.
How do I get a summary for the doctor?
Open For the doctor, pick the last day, 3 days or 7 days, and tap Print for the doctor. You can print it or save it as a PDF.
Does it cost anything?
No.
