Endearist

For doctors

A personal CRM for doctors — for the people in your life, not the patients in your charts.

You already keep meticulous records for patients. Endearist is being built to give the same care to the friends, mentors, former colleagues, and family who got you through residency — without putting any of it in a system your hospital IT can read.

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 →

Strictly outside the hospital network

Endearist is planned to run locally on your personal phone and laptop. It is designed never to ask for your hospital credentials, never to integrate with your EHR, never to appear in a network audit. The wall between your professional life and the people you love stays where it should — clear and clinical.

Notes that shouldn't sit on someone else's server

Personal notes about non-patient relationships shouldn't sit on a US-hosted server that might get pulled into a malpractice discovery or an HR inquiry by mistake. Endearist's notes are meant to live on your device. End-to-end encrypted sync over storage you run yourself is planned, and will be optional: AES-256-GCM, with you holding the key. End-to-end encrypted sync over storage you run yourself — a local or shared folder, or a WebDAV server — is planned for v1. Google Drive as a destination is not decided yet. Managed sync on Endearist Cloud is planned for after v1, as part of the Pro Cloud subscription only. The vendored app measurement does not confirm an encrypted local database. It records an unencrypted SQLite file; an app lock does not encrypt that file. Protect your device and backups independently.

Reminders that respect a 28-hour shift

Endearist is not meant to ping you at 3am when you're on call. Quiet hours are planned to be device-level and persistent. Reminders to follow up with a friend should cluster on your post-call recovery day, not in the middle of a code blue. The app is meant to get quieter the busier you are, not louder. System reminders: not publicly available yet. Status: planned for v1.

Markdown export for handover or a sabbatical

When you go on parental leave, take a research sabbatical, or step away for a fellowship abroad, your relationship notes are meant to export to plain Markdown — readable in any text editor on any device. No app, no cloud, no vendor lock-in. The person you'll be when you come back can read them too.

The colleague who becomes a referral in five years

Medicine runs on knowing who to call. The registrar you trained with is a consultant somewhere by now, the person from the conference dinner runs a unit, and the direct line that saves a patient a six-week wait is nearly always personal rather than institutional. That network builds itself over a career and decays silently, because nothing in a hospital reminds you to stay in touch with someone who left. A note per person — where they went, what they specialise in, when you last spoke — is the difference between having a network and having once had one.

When Endearist isn't the right fit

Nothing about this is a clinical system. It holds no patient data, connects to no EHR, and must never be used for anything covered by patient confidentiality — that belongs in your practice software, full stop. What is left is genuinely useful and genuinely non-clinical: the registrar you trained with, the specialist whose direct line saves a week, the colleague from a conference. If your professional network is your department and you see them daily, there is nothing here for you.
