Free apps for keeping track and staying in the loop.
Every app is free, has no ads and needs no account. They help you keep track and stay organized. They don’t give health advice, and they don’t replace your care team.
Health Trail
A private care notebook for the family member holding everything together.
Write down calls, visits, incidents, medication changes, documents and money as they happen. Health Trail keeps them in one trail, in the order they happened, and finds any of it in seconds. Questions you save show up on the appointment they belong to, so you walk in ready.
It records and organizes. It never advises.
- Free, with no ads and no account
- Works offline. Nothing leaves your phone unless you export it.
- Encrypted export that you can restore on another phone
- For Android phones
- Health Trail privacy policy
Vision Launcher
A calm, readable home screen for people who see less than they used to.

Screenshots and a download link will be added when it’s on Google Play.
