I'm a labor-and-delivery nurse who taught herself to code and built the app I wanted on the floor: your patients, what's due when, and reminders that fire at the actual time. Free, no ads, no accounts, and the release build doesn't have internet permission at all — nothing leaves the phone.

I need 12 for 14 days to clear the production gate. Standard swap: I'm already in on 2 apps from this sub today and I'll stay for anyone's full 14 — I'm not dropping the day I get my approval. Drop your link in the comments and I'll join today.

The part that never stopped getting me was the timing. Not the work — the timing. Something's due in twenty minutes, you're in another room with somebody who needs you right now, and the only thing holding those twenty minutes is your own head and whatever you scribbled in the margin.

I ran it on paper like everyone else. Folded in quarters, in my scrub pocket, rewritten every shift. And paper is a fine list. It's a terrible clock. It says exactly the same thing at 07:00 as it does at 07:40 and it never once tells you which line is about to matter.

So I built the version that keeps time. If you're picturing it: it's a list of your rooms, and under each one a single line saying what's next and when — Room 7, BP recheck, 15:21. Whatever's overdue turns red and climbs to the top, so the sickest-in-terms-of-timing is always the thing your eye lands on first. You set your unit up once with your own timings, admit your patients at the start of the shift, and it works out the rest. When something's actually due it makes a noise.

The notification just says a check is due. No room, no reason, nothing on your lock screen for somebody to read over your shoulder — and there's no field for a patient's name anywhere in it. I didn't build anywhere to put one.

It's not on the store yet and I'm not selling it. I'm a nurse, not a startup. Android only right now, which I know is half of you.

Mostly I want to know whether I built something only I wanted:

- Is a paper brain sheet actually fine and I'm the weird one about this?

- If you used something like this, would you trust it enough to stop writing the paper one — or would you end up doing both, which sounds worse than either?

- What would it have to do to be worth thirty seconds of setup at the start of a shift?

Genuinely fine with "this is a solution looking for a problem." Better to hear it now than after.

I'm an L&D nurse who built an app for keeping track of patients and timed tasks during a shift — assignments, recurring checks, reminders that fire when something's actually due. It's free, no ads, no accounts, and no data leaves the phone.

I need 12 testers for 14 days to clear Google's production gate. The ask is genuinely just: join, install, leave it installed. Poke at it if you feel like it, but you don't have to.

If you're in, drop your email here → https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1m3lajpSBnURKa8pZ-Q7SEjkqsSsavFlC_j633sN-rbI0jw/viewform

I will add you to my closed testing track, and then you can install here-

Happy to return the favor — drop your link and I'll join yours today and stay in for the full 14. Just tell me when you're clear so I know when I can drop.
