Pick your unit

Five variants. Each one shaped to its specialty.

Each variant ships with a default layout, the right critical-value flags, and unit-aware isolation + handoff fields. Tap through to see what each one is configured for.

Why this brain sheet is different

Six decisions you can feel on the first shift.

  • Built for real handoff math

    Allergies, code status, isolation, diagnoses, drips, recent labs with critical-range pills — the fields are in the order nurses actually read off at change-of-shift.

  • Patient names stay local

    Names + room numbers live in encrypted Core Data on the device. They never sync to a cloud unless you explicitly opt in. PDF export strips identifiers on request.

  • Works in basement procedure rooms

    No network connection needed. Edits land instantly. Auto-saves on every keystroke. Force-quit recovers exactly where you left off.

  • Long-press to edit

    Every row is a long-press away from being editable. No five-tap "more options" menus. The sheet stays out of your way until you ask it not to.

  • Dynamic Type + dark mode

    Default body 17pt, never below 14pt. Dark mode is required, not optional — half of nursing happens at night. VoiceOver labels on every interactive element.

  • Save your layout templates

    Customize the brain sheet once for your unit. Save it as a template. New shift, new patient — your layout is right there.

Frequently asked

About the brain sheet.

What's the difference between a brain sheet and a report sheet?

A brain sheet is your working document during the shift — it stays updated, gets scribbled on, has notes for the next dose check. A report sheet is the handoff artifact — clean, structured, often a snapshot. PocketPal's brain sheet does both: working view during the shift, then a one-tap clean export for handoff.

Can I print the brain sheet?

Yes — PDF export from any patient view. You can choose to strip patient identifiers from the export if you want a clinical-content-only handoff. Print from the iOS share sheet to any AirPrint printer.

What if I switch specialties?

Pick a different template. Med-surg today, telemetry tomorrow, ICU when you float — five variants ship with the app and any of them can be customized further. Your saved templates travel with you.

Does it sync between iPhone and iPad?

Multi-device sync ships in v1.5 as a Pocketpal Pro feature. Until then, brain sheets live on each device individually. iCloud Backup covers the device-level state.

How is this different from a paper brain sheet?

Honestly? Paper brain sheets have their own advantages — they're fast, they don't need batteries, you can scribble on them. PocketPal's digital version adds: auto-saves, critical-lab flags, drip math, isolation icons, structured handoff export, and the ability to recover the sheet if your phone dies. We don't think paper is wrong; we think the digital version pays for itself by the fourth shift.
