Why I built Salve
I built Salve for my partner. She lives with chronic pain and several disabilities, and just keeping track of medications, symptoms, and appointments had become its own exhausting job. I wanted one calm, private place that did the remembering for her.
It helped, so I kept building, and started sharing it with other people carrying the same load.
I also run Caring Curator, the site you're on now.
Calm mode
Calm mode is Salve at its simplest: larger text, bigger buttons, and only the essentials on screen, without the detailed charts.
It's a single switch. Turn it on for yourself on a tiring day, or set it up for a parent who finds most apps hard to read.
-
In Calm mode, recording a vital is a couple of large, clearly labeled taps. -
The daily check-in: tap how you feel, add a note if you like.
What it helps with
-
Medications
Log your doses, get reminders, and see the next one at a glance. As you type a medication, Salve fills in the details for you.
-
Vitals
Track blood pressure, sleep, weight, and more with simple charts. Connect Apple Health or a wearable, or enter readings by hand.
-
A daily journal
Note your mood, symptoms, and what helped. Salve can also draft the day from a short chat.
-
One private place
Everything is encrypted and yours. Nothing is sold, there are no ads, and you can start without an account.
Meet Sage
Sage answers questions in plain language and points out changes worth noticing, like a dip in sleep or a missed dose.
Sage can also help you make sense of insurance paperwork, like a denial letter or an explanation of benefits, and walk you through appealing a charge.
