Caregiver Planner
Keep the practical side of day-to-day care in one place — medication reference information, appointments, vitals, daily notes and handoff records — without requiring a GentleTools cloud account. It organizes the information you enter; it does not make medical decisions for you.
Why use one connected care record?
Caregiving can generate the same small pieces of information every day: what was recorded for a medication schedule, when the next appointment is, which readings were logged, what changed in the daily routine and what the next caregiver should know. Caregiver Planner keeps those user-entered records together instead of scattering them across notes and separate documents.
The working file stays local to the browser you use. That is useful when one main person maintains the record, but it is not live multi-user care software. If several caregivers need simultaneous updates, permissions or automatic cross-device synchronization, a shared clinical or cloud system may be the better fit.
Dashboard
A practical overview of the medications, appointments and follow-up items you entered for today.
Medication record
Keep medication names, doses and user-entered schedules together for reference. Verify changes against the current label, prescription or clinician instructions.
Appointments
Track upcoming and past appointments, with your notes on what was discussed and what follow-up was recorded.
Vitals log
Record blood pressure, weight, temperature and other readings over time without the app diagnosing or interpreting what they mean.
Daily journal
Keep a dated log for meals, sleep, mood, routines and observations that you want to remember later.
Caregiver handoff
Create a readable summary of the information entered so another caregiver can review the same notes before taking over.
Emergency reference
Keep contacts, allergies and other user-entered reference information together. Use official medical records and emergency services when they are needed.
Printable schedule & reports
Print a daily schedule or a summary of the records you entered for family, caregivers or a clinical appointment.
Multiple care recipients
Keep separate local records when you are helping more than one person.
Start smaller if one focused tool is enough
If you only need one medication schedule, start with the freeMedication Schedule Builder. If you are trying to understand the time and workload around caregiving, readCaregiver Time & Energy. The larger app becomes useful when appointments, readings, daily notes and handoff information need to stay connected over time.
How it works
- Buy and download instantly — no account needed.
- Open the included HTML file in a supported browser.
- Start with sample data, or clear it and enter the records you want to maintain.
- Export independent backups regularly because GentleTools does not keep a cloud copy of the working record.
Keep the app in its lane
Caregiver Planner is an organizational record, not a medication administration system, diagnostic tool, monitoring service or emergency service. It does not check drug interactions, decide whether a dose should be given, interpret a vital sign, recommend treatment or determine whether a symptom needs urgent care. Verify medication and treatment information against current labels, prescriptions and clinician instructions. For urgent or emergency situations, use the appropriate local medical or emergency service.
