01
Calm over engaging
We do not optimize for time in app, streak pressure, or notification opens. The goal is quick, useful, then done.
Our philosophy
Technology should feel like relief.
Most health apps ask for more attention. Soothe Note was built for low-energy days, foggy memory, and the practical details that matter between care visits.
Why we built this
Treatment already asks people to remember too much.
On hard treatment days, Soothe Note is meant to be quick, calm, and useful enough to help patients explain what changed since the last visit.
Brynn, co-founder of Soothe Note, went through cancer in high school and knows what it feels like to sit across from a doctor and go blank. Teddy came from the caregiver side, where support often means trying to help without a clear roadmap.
That mix shapes the product: short check-ins, respectful sharing, clear reports, and a calmer way to keep track of what happened.
Design principles
02
Patient control
Patients choose what to log, what to skip, and whether to share read-only access with caregivers.
03
Caregivers need support too
Caregiver mode is designed for visibility, boundaries, and burnout check-ins, because support people carry a lot.
04
Useful before visits
Daily notes, symptoms, medications, questions, journal context, and health metrics can become clearer reports for care visits.
05
Private by default
Soothe Note is offline-first with encrypted private notes and no third-party tracking, ad IDs, or data sales.
Privacy
Offline-first. Encrypted notes. No trackers.
Soothe Note writes locally first, supports protected cloud sync, and keeps private journal notes encrypted. It does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from licensed clinicians.
