CareBrief — walk into every visit ready. A one-page brief for the doctor's appointment.

// what it is

CareBrief is a quiet iPhone app for adults caring for an aging parent — a private place to log what matters during the week, and to walk into the doctor's office ready.

Paste the doctor's after-visit summary and the app rewrites the medical jargon in plain English — on your iPhone, with no account and no cloud. One page in, one page out, all of it yours.

After-visit translator

Paste or scan the after-visit summary. Apple's on-device Foundation Models rewrite the medical language at an 8th-grade reading level and suggest up to three follow-up questions. The text never leaves your iPhone.

60-second visit prep

A prep card surfaces 24 hours before each appointment with flagged events, medication changes, and saved questions. A one-page PDF brief generates in one tap.

Event log & vitals

Log symptoms, falls, sleep, appetite, mood, vitals (BP, blood sugar, weight, heart rate, temperature, SpO₂), and free-text notes. Track medication dose-given and dose-missed with adherence bars.

Care team & documents

A roster for up to five doctors with specialty, clinic, phone, and notes. Scan PDFs into a document vault with on-device OCR and optional plain-English summaries.

Premium add-ons

Voice logging with on-device speech recognition, photo attachments, HealthKit vitals import (read-only), a caregiver journal, and alternate app icons.

// privacy first

CareBrief has no servers. No account system. No analytics by default. Everything you log — your parent's name, conditions, vitals, photos, voice transcripts, appointment notes — lives in SwiftData on your device, encrypted at rest by iOS.

The after-visit translator runs on Apple's on-device Foundation Models. The text doesn't leave your iPhone unless your device has Apple Intelligence's Private Cloud Compute enabled and the model elects to use it — in which case Apple's privacy guarantees apply (no retention, no training, no Apple access).

Subscriptions go through Apple's StoreKit and notifications are local. We never see your name, email, payment method, or care notes.

// who's making it

Made by Kiryl Zhukouski in Poznań, Poland. CareBrief was built for a daughter caring for her mother — not for an acquirer five years from now, not for a data broker, not for a "platform." The absences (no cloud, no account, no sharing) are the product. If you have feedback, write to kirylapps@gmail.com.
