Getting in touch

Odak is made by one person. Email [email protected] and you will get a reply, usually within a few days.

Please include which iPhone you have and which version of iOS it is running. If something went wrong on a particular screen, say which one.

Odak cannot answer questions about your treatment. What dose to take, when to take it and where to inject are questions for the prescriber who wrote the prescription.

Requirements

  • iPhone running iOS 18.0 or later
  • No iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Android or web version, and none is planned for version 1
  • No internet connection needed, at any point

Frequently asked questions

Where is my data stored?

On your iPhone, and only there. Odak has no server and makes no network requests. Nobody, including the developer, can see what you record.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no login and no email address to hand over. You enter your first and last name, and you start.

Does Odak sync between devices?

No. Version 1 keeps one person's records on one iPhone. If you move to a new phone, use the backup file described below.

How do I back up my records?

On the Export & Import screen, Odak writes a backup file that holds everything, and a spreadsheet of your injection history. You choose where they go, whether that is iCloud Drive, another cloud service, or a message to yourself. The same screen reads a backup file back in.

I am getting a new iPhone. What do I do?

Write a backup file from the old phone and put it somewhere you can reach from the new one. Install Odak on the new phone and restore from that file. An ordinary iPhone backup carries Odak's data across too, the same way it carries every other app's.

Is Odak free? Are there ads or in-app purchases?

It is free, with no ads, no in-app purchases and no subscription.

Does Odak work offline?

Always. There is nothing for it to be online for.

What kinds of treatment is Odak for?

Any injection you give yourself on a schedule that runs for weeks or longer. That includes fertility treatment cycles, hormone therapy, weekly biologics, weight-management injections, insulin and other self-administered specialty medication. Odak does not know which one you are on and does not need to. It keeps the dose plan, the schedule, the sites and the record. The treatment itself stays between you and your prescriber.

Can I track more than one medication?

Yes, as many as you need. Each one carries its own dose plan, its own schedule, its own reminder and its own color.

My dose changes partway through the treatment. Can Odak handle that?

Yes, and this is what it was built for. A medication's plan is a series of phases. Each phase has its own dose, its own start date and its own schedule, so a plan that steps up, steps down or changes rhythm is one medication and not three. Odak works out which phase a given day belongs to.

What schedules can Odak follow?

Every day, every few days, specific days of the week, or as needed with no fixed day.

Can Odak keep track of injection sites?

Yes. Five areas, which are both legs, both arms and the abdomen, each drawn with a grid of individual points. The points you used most recently are shown faded, and tapping a point tells you when it was last used. The statistics screen shows how your injections were spread across the five areas, and how many of the points you have used.

Can Odak count how many pens I have left?

Yes, if you turn on Track Inventory for a medication. You enter what you have and add a box when you buy one, and each logged injection takes out one pen for each site it went into. The remaining count appears in the app, in reminders and on the widget.

Can I log an injection for a day that has already passed?

Yes. You can set the date of an injection to any day since the medication's start date. Odak marks how late it was against the day it was owed, and lists the sessions that were missed so you can log or skip each one.

Why did my reminder not arrive?

First check that notifications are turned on for Odak in the Settings app, because Odak cannot deliver anything while they are off. Also check that the medication itself has Remind Me turned on, since the time is set on each medication rather than globally.

Beyond that, iOS does not guarantee that a notification is delivered. A reminder in Odak is a convenience and not a safety net.

I am travelling. Will my reminder go off at the wrong time?

No. A reminder is stored as a time of day rather than as a moment in time, so nine in the morning stays nine in the morning wherever you are.

What happens when I delete a medication or an injection?

It moves to Recently Deleted and stays there until you remove it for good, so nothing is lost by a mis-tap. Deleting a medication does not throw away the history that belonged to it. To erase everything at once, use Delete All Data in your profile. That cannot be undone, so export a backup first if you want a copy.

Is there a widget?

Yes, in two sizes. It shows the next session on your Home Screen. The larger one also shows the dose it asks for and how much supply is left.

Does Odak work with VoiceOver and larger text?

Yes. Every injection point has a spoken label, the screens hold up at the largest accessibility text sizes, and the app was audited screen by screen for both.

Does Odak tell me what dose to take?

No, and it never will. Odak records injections that were already prescribed. It decides no dose, no schedule and no injection site, and a question about the treatment goes to the prescriber who wrote it.

Does Odak connect to Apple Health?

No. It does not read from Apple Health and does not write to it.
