Squatch Vitals contains no networking code at all — no account, no server, no analytics. Apple Health access is read-only, so the app structurally cannot alter your Health record. The only way a reading leaves the phone is when you send a report yourself.
What it does
Squatch Vitals, in full
Built for a patient, not a fitness tracker
The reason this exists is unglamorous: someone is asked to write their weight and blood pressure on a piece of paper every morning and bring it to an appointment. Paper gets lost, handwriting gets misread, and nobody can see a trend in a column of numbers.
So the app is deliberately plain. Big targets, a goal you can see, and a report that prints. It does not score you, gamify anything, or tell you what your readings mean — it is a record-keeping tool, not a medical device, and it says so on every screen that shows a reference range.
Why it reads your paper sheet
Months of existing readings are usually already on paper, and retyping them is exactly the sort of chore that stops someone using an app at all. Squatch Vitals uses Apple’s on-device text recognition to read the page — the photo is processed in memory, never written to disk, and never uploaded.
Nothing is trusted blindly. Every row it reads is shown next to the raw line it came from, dates it had to guess are flagged, and any line holding a number it could not interpret is reported rather than silently dropped.
