đź’ˇ Why I Built This AppÂ
Hi, I’m Leigh — creator of Compassion Tracker, a free app built for family caregivers.
For six years, I cared full-time for my mom, who had dementia. Like so many caregivers, I was overwhelmed by medications, appointments, vital logs, and sticky notes. I tried calendars, spreadsheets, and every caregiver app I could find—but none actually helped.
So I built the tool I wish I had:
This isn’t a generic health tracker or app made by a big tech company. Compassion Tracker is a labor of love, designed by someone who’s been there—through the 3 a.m. medication alarms, the ER visits, the panic, and the paperwork.
Every feature is grounded in lived experience:
Track multiple medications with reminders
Log vitals and view health trends
Store emergency contact and medical info
Manage appointments and notes in one place
No more bouncing between apps or relying on sticky notes. Compassion Tracker brings everything together in one easy-to-use caregiver dashboard—designed specifically for home caregivers, eldercare, and dementia care.
You do the hardest work there is—and you deserve tools that support you. Compassion Tracker helps make life just a little easier, more accurate, and less overwhelming.
If you ever need support, want to share feedback, or just want to connect with someone who understands—I’m just an email away.
