Endearist

For dentists

A personal CRM for dentists — the relationship layer your practice software doesn't have.

Recalls, charts, and treatment plans stay in your practice management system — that's what it's for. Endearist is for the oral surgeon you refer to, the lab technician who saves your Fridays, and the human side of patients who've sat in your chair for twenty years.

Not launched yet Endearist is in development — there is nothing to download yet. This page describes how the app is meant to work. The first release is intended for Android and Windows; end-to-end encrypted sync over your own storage is planned for v1. See the roadmap →

Not a recall system — deliberately

Six-month recalls, treatment documentation, billing: your practice management software does that, under the regulatory regime it was certified for, and Endearist will never touch it. What your practice software has no field for is the relationship itself — the referring colleague's preferences, the lab technician's name day, the patient who mentioned a retirement party. Endearist is meant to be that missing layer, kept strictly separate from clinical data, so neither system contaminates the other.

Referrals flow both ways — if the relationship is warm

You send implant cases to the oral surgeon, complicated root canals to the endodontist, kids to the orthodontist. Whether they send patients back — the extracted-and-restored case, the family that moved into your catchment — depends on how present you are between referrals. Log in the journal who sent what, set a cadence per colleague, and thank the periodontist for the specific case she returned, not with a generic season's greeting.

The lab technician who rushes your crown on a Friday

When a front-tooth crown has to be ready before a patient's wedding, it's not the lab's price list that saves you — it's the technician who likes working with you. Endearist is meant to hold the lab relationships: who shades anteriors beautifully, who handles zirconia, whose apprentice just passed her exams. A note of thanks after the rush job, logged and remembered, is what makes the next rush job possible. Your practice software sees invoices; you should see people.

Twenty-year patients are relationships, not just recall entries

Herr Weber has been coming since 2006, brought his wife, then both daughters. He told you about his retirement last visit; one daughter just moved back to town and needs a dentist. None of that fits a chart, and none of it is clinical data — it's the personal layer that makes a practice feel like yours. Endearist is meant to keep it where it belongs: a journal note per visit-worthy moment, on your own device, far from the patient record.

Local-first and yours — even when you sell the practice

The practice, the patient base, and the recall list transfer to your successor. Your relationships don't — the study-club colleagues, the referrers, the lab, the professional friendships from three decades of dentistry stay yours. Endearist is planned to run locally on your personal device and export everything as plain Markdown; the pricing proposal is a one-time licence, and optional end-to-end-encrypted sync is planned. CSV and vCard import is planned too, so you can carry the network into the next chapter, GDPR-clean and vendor-free. Proposed plan, not purchasable yet: local core and data export. The proposed 25-contact limit is not a confirmed entitlement. Proposed plan, not purchasable yet: local app and AI with your own key (planned for v1). Sync over your own storage is planned for v1. Managed cloud services are not a lifetime feature. Proposed plan, not purchasable yet: managed AI (planned for after v1, as part of the Pro Cloud subscription only) and Endearist Cloud (planned for after v1, as part of the Pro Cloud subscription only). Specific budgets, routing and prices require approval. Family sharing: not decided yet; no included family seat is promised.

When Endearist isn't the right fit

This holds no patient records and no clinical data, and that is deliberate — your practice management system owns those, along with recall scheduling and everything with a regulatory obligation attached. Endearist is not a substitute and should never hold anything you would need to produce for a compliance audit. What it is meant to hold is the professional network around the chair: the specialist you refer to, the rep worth keeping honest, the colleague from a course. If that network is already small and local, this is more tool than you need.
