Vitals keeps a record. It does not give medical advice.
It shows the readings you enter or import, and nothing more. It does not diagnose anything, it does not decide whether a reading is safe, and it cannot see anything about you that you have not typed in.
The colors and ranges it uses are general reference points only — not a judgment about your health. Only your doctor can tell you what your readings mean for you.
Never delay, stop or change any treatment because of something you saw in this app. If you feel unwell, or a reading worries you, contact your doctor. In an emergency, call emergency services.
Vitals is yours for one payment. There is no subscription and no account, and your readings stay on this device either way.
Everything you have recorded is still here, and still yours. You can read it, chart it, print the doctor’s report, email it, back it up and restore it exactly as before. Recording new readings is the part that needs the purchase.
Already bought it? Paste the license key from your receipt:
For a meter that will not export a file — or for the one reading you took at the doctor's. Fill in any of the numbers. Repeating a reading you already have will not double it up.
This export isn't one Vitals already knows, so tell it which column is which — once. It will remember this layout and import the same export without asking again.
Correct a number and press Save changes, or remove a reading you entered by mistake. This only changes the copy on this device.
Kept in this browser on this device only — never uploaded, and not part of the app itself. Your details are printed at the top of the doctor's report so the surgery knows whose readings these are.
Every weight figure on the report is a 7-day average, because a single morning's weight swings two to four pounds on water and timing alone. This sets how far back the report compares it — make it the gap between your appointments, so the change it shows is the change since your doctor last saw you.
The report always has the summary and the graphs. The day-by-day table is the detail behind them — every reading with its time, missed doses, and your notes. Keep it on for the full record, or turn it off for a short summary-and-graphs report.
Filled in once, so Email my doctor is a single tap afterwards. The email is written by your own mail app on this device — Vitals has no server and never sends anything itself.
The list that drops down under what you ate, built from what you have typed before. Remove anything you do not want offered again — a duplicate, a typo, or something you simply do not eat any more. This only changes the suggestions. It never alters what you ate on any day.
Vitals normally tells you by itself when a new version is ready. This is the fallback for when it cannot — it clears the app's saved program files and reloads. Your readings are not affected.
Everything below is about this device. Vitals has no account and no server — nothing you enter ever leaves your browser unless you send it yourself.
There is no cloud, so the two do not talk to each other on their own. Press Backup on one, put the file somewhere both can see (Google Drive works well), then Restore on the other and choose Add to what's here. That keeps both sides, and it is safe to repeat in either direction.
Clearing your browsing data would erase every reading, and there is no copy anywhere else. Vitals reminds you when a backup is overdue, but the reminder cannot make one for you. Keep at least two: if a backup is ever taken from a device whose data was already wrong, one copy means the good one is gone.
That is the usual advice — rest five minutes, take two or three a minute apart. Vitals groups readings taken within ten minutes into one sitting and shows the average, marked avg of 3 with the range beside it. Readings from a separate sitting later that day are kept separate, because they are a separate measurement. Nothing is thrown away or hidden.
A single morning's weight swings two to four pounds on its own — water, food still going through you, the time of day, what you are wearing. So every weight figure on the report is a -day average, and the chart draws the faint dots for what the scale actually said each day with the solid line for that average over them. Nothing is hidden; the average is simply the figure that can be compared with last month's.
That is also why there is no weekly-or-monthly choice: seven days is what cancels out the week's own rhythm, and weighing less often than that needs no setting — the average just follows however often you step on the scale. What you can set, in Settings, is how far back the report compares you against. Make it the gap between your appointments, so the change it shows is the change since your doctor last saw you.
Weigh yourself the same way each time if you can — same time of day, before breakfast, similar clothing. It is the consistency rather than the precision that makes a trend worth reading.
BMI needs your height, which is the only reason Vitals asks for it. You type it once, at the top of Add a reading or in Settings. Vitals has no server, so nothing here is sent anywhere by itself — your height does go into a backup file you save, and onto a report you print or email. BMI is a rough figure — it cannot tell muscle from fat — and it is included because it is on nearly every medical record, so a surgery notices when it is missing. The pounds and the percentage above it are the more useful numbers.
Blood pressure is flagged at and above. Blood sugar is shown against a target band of , with a second line higher up. Weight has no such line, because there is no general threshold for it — the only guides drawn on its chart are the weights at which your own height would put your BMI at 25 and 30. All of these are general reference points, not a judgment about you — see the note at the bottom of every screen.
This is exactly what will be in the email — read it before you send it. It covers the date range you have selected. Your mail app writes the message on this device; Vitals has no server and never sends anything itself.

Want the charts and the full day-by-day table? An email cannot carry an attachment from a web page, so use Doctor's report instead — choose Save as PDF in the print dialog, then attach that file yourself.
Everything lives in this browser's storage on this device only — nothing is uploaded.
Each device keeps its own copy, so readings entered on your phone will not appear on your
computer on their own. To bring them together: Backup on one device and send the
file to Google Drive, then Restore on the other and choose Add to what's here
— that keeps both sides and can be repeated safely, in either direction.
Clearing your browsing data would wipe everything, so back up now and again regardless.

Recorded at home by the patient using Vitals, a personal record-keeping app. Readings are self-reported and self-measured; they are not clinically verified and no device calibration is implied. This app performs no analysis and gives no medical advice — any reference ranges shown are general and not a clinical assessment.
