LoopClose CAPA Tracker

About this app

Keep every corrective action moving until it is really closed.

LoopClose is a simple corrective and preventive action (CAPA) tracker for quality, maintenance and operations teams, and for anyone who has ever lost track of a fix. Log the problem, record what you did to contain it, find the root cause, assign the actions, and follow up until the loop is closed.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Create CAPA records with an automatic number (CAPA-001), a title, source, severity, area, owner and due date.
- Move each record through six steps: Open, Containment, Root cause, Actions, Verify, Closed.
- Work out the root cause with a 5-Why worksheet: ask why up to seven times and write the root cause in your own words.
- Add action items, corrective or preventive, each with an owner and a due date. Tick them off as they are done.
- See what needs attention on the home screen: overdue CAPAs, those due this week, and late action items.
- Attach photos as evidence.
- Search and filter your records, or see every action item across all CAPAs in one list.
- Share a clean text summary through your phone's share sheet.

LOOPCLOSE PLUS (optional subscription)
- PDF CAPA reports with your photos, and a CSV register export.
- Cause categories: sort possible causes under people, machine, method, material, measurement and environment.
- Effectiveness check: set a date, record whether the fix worked, and keep your notes.
- Repeat-issue watch: see earlier CAPAs that look similar.
- Unlimited CAPAs and up to 12 photos each.
The free version keeps up to 10 CAPAs and 3 photos each.

PRIVATE AND SIMPLE
- Works offline. No account, no ads, no tracking.
- Your records stay on your phone. You choose when to share anything.
- Large-text friendly, with light, dark and high-contrast looks.

IMPORTANT
LoopClose is an administrative record-keeping tool. It does not certify compliance with any standard, regulation or law, and it gives no legal, safety or medical advice. You decide what counts as a CAPA, what the root cause is, and whether an action is enough.
