Bladder & Bowel Manager

iPhone · Apple Watch · Widget

A rhythm you don't have to keep in your head.

Bladder & Bowel Manager reminds you when it's time, logs an entry in two seconds, and shows you what changes over weeks. No account, no ads, and nothing leaves your device.

One day, the way the app plans it

07:00 Bowel routine Quiet hours from 22:30

Because schedules are the first thing a busy day swallows.

Anyone who catheterises, follows a bladder training plan, or keeps a fixed bowel routine works in intervals. You know them by heart — until a meeting overruns, a train is late, or the day simply gets away from you.

The app does the counting. It speaks up when the interval is over, records what happened, and turns weeks of entries into something you can actually show at an appointment instead of estimating from memory.

  • After a spinal cord injury
  • With multiple sclerosis or spina bifida
  • After prostate surgery
  • With IBS or inflammatory bowel disease
  • During bladder training under medical guidance
  • For family carers who document alongside

Your data stays where it belongs.

What you log here is health data. So there is no account, no server, and no analysis on our side. The app stores everything locally on your device — and, if you want, in your own iCloud backup.

  • No sign-up, no email address
  • No trackers, no analytics SDKs
  • No ads, nothing sold on
  • Export and deletion entirely in your hands

Do I need an account?
No. The app works right after installation, with no sign-up.
Does anything go into Apple Health?
Not at the moment. A Health connection is planned but deliberately on hold until it works cleanly and read-only.
How do I bring my data to an appointment?
Use the CSV export. The file can be emailed, printed, or opened in a spreadsheet.
What happens when I get a new iPhone?
With iCloud backup on, your entries come across during setup. Without it, export first and import afterwards.
Is there an Android version?
One is in development. As soon as there's a date, it will be here.
