Jack Docs user guide

Jack Docs is the place you log everything about your child's medical care - medications, feeding, diapers, mood, and the small daily observations that are easy to forget by the time the doctor asks about them. This guide is written for a tired parent at 11pm, not a developer, so it sticks to plain language and skips anything you don't need to know to use the app.

Where to start

• New to Jack Docs? Start with Getting started - it covers your first login, adding a care recipient, and the fastest way to log something right now.
• Tracking medication doses and reminders? See Medications.
• Tube feeding, including a continuous pump? See Feeding.
• Adding another parent, grandparent, or nurse to help log care? See Caregivers & roles.
• Preparing for an appointment? See Doctor reports.

The short version

Everything you log - a dose given, a feed started, a diaper changed, a note about how your child seemed today - becomes a timestamped entry in your child's timeline. Nothing is ever silently deleted; edits and deletes are things you do on purpose from the history view. Care Docs works offline: if you log something with no signal, it's saved on your device and syncs automatically the next time you're connected.
