Family Medical

Family Medical helps caregivers track medications, refills, and appointments for the people they look after. Medical information is sensitive, so the app is designed to collect and share nothing.

What we collect

Nothing. The app does not ask for or transmit any personal information. There are no accounts to create, no email to enter, and no servers to talk to.

What stays on your device

Everything you enter is stored locally on your iPhone using Apple's standard on-device databases (SwiftData and UserDefaults), and never leaves the device:

• Family members you add (name, avatar, color, optional date of birth, optional notes)
• Medications (name, dosage, schedule, refill date, pharmacy, Rx number, prescribing doctor, notes)
• Appointments (title, date, type, provider, location, notes)
• Your caregiver name, used to sign messages you draft

You can delete any item from inside the app, or use Settings → "Delete all data" to wipe everything. Deleting the app removes everything as well.

Apple Intelligence and the on-device model

When you tap "Write with AI" in the Messages tab, the message is generated by Apple's on-device foundation model (Apple Intelligence). The prompt — which may contain a patient name, medication, dosage, or appointment details — is processed entirely on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to Anthropic, OpenAI, Apple's servers, or any third party.

If Apple Intelligence is not enabled or not available on your device, the app falls back to deterministic templates that run entirely in the app — also with no network use.

Third-party services

None. Family Medical does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or tracking SDKs.

Network access

The app does not make network requests. All tracking, message generation, and viewing works fully offline.

Children

Family Medical can be used to track medications for children in your care, but the app itself is intended for adult caregivers. It does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.

Not medical advice

Family Medical is an organizer for information you already keep about your family's care. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose conditions, or replace any conversation with a healthcare professional. Always follow the directions on your prescriptions and from your providers.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes — for example, if a future version of the app starts using a feature that affects privacy — we'll update this page and clearly note what changed.
