Care Handoff

Arcane Systems

About this app

Caring for someone often means handing off to the next person — a spouse, a sibling, a home health aide, or yourself after a long shift. CareHandoff helps you record what happened and share exactly what the next caregiver needs to know, in under a minute.

QUICK, ONE-HANDED LOGGING
Tap once to log medication, meals, fluids, toileting, sleep, mood, symptoms, activities, appointments, tasks, or a general note — while your hands and attention are busy. Every entry keeps the exact time and who recorded it.

A CLEAR HANDOFF, NOT A DATA DUMP
Pick a time window, choose which sections to include, and CareHandoff drafts a plain, factual summary — never a diagnosis or a clinical conclusion, just what was recorded and when. Review and edit before you share it. The recipient doesn't need the app: show it on screen, or export as a PDF or image to send, print, or hand over.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything stays on your device — no account, no cloud sync, nothing uploaded automatically
• Sensitive content is encrypted at rest with your device's secure hardware-backed keystore
• App lock with biometrics or your device passcode
• No ads, no selling data, no behavioral tracking

BUILT FOR TIRED CAREGIVERS
• A searchable timeline of recent history
• Custom recurring and one-off checklist items — packing lists, supplies, reminders
• Encrypted manual backup and restore, protected by a passphrase you choose
• Calm, respectful language throughout — no streaks, no scores, no guilt

Use it for an aging parent, a disabled or chronically ill family member, a child with higher support needs, or anyone receiving rotating respite or home care.

Free to start: one care profile, seven days of visible history, and three handoffs a week. CareHandoff Plus is a one-time purchase (no subscription) that unlocks up to five profiles, unlimited history and handoffs, unlimited presets, encrypted backup, and more.

CareHandoff is an organization and communication tool. It is not an electronic health record, medication-administration system, diagnostic tool, or emergency alert system, and it is not a substitute for instructions from a licensed healthcare professional. It is not for emergencies — if you are experiencing one, contact local emergency services immediately.
