Post Description

Hi HN,

I built a Blood Pressure tracker because I was tired of the existing apps requiring cloud accounts, subscriptions, or selling health data to advertisers.

BP Tracker Pro is a "Class I Data Logger" built with Capacitor and Vanilla JS. It runs 100% offline on your device.

Key Features: - Gorgeous panel to visually track your blood pressure readings - Zero Cloud Sync: Data lives in a local JSON store (encrypted at rest by Android OS). You can bacjup - PDF Reports: Generates clinical reports for doctors using jsPDF (client-side). - Morning Surge Detection: Analyzes AM vs PM readings to flag stroke risks. - Family Mode: Track multiple profiles (e.g., aging parents) from one dashboard.

Tech Stack: - Vanilla JS + Vite (No React/Vue overhead) - Capacitor v8 (Bridge to Native) - Chart.js for trends

Secure Storage – An offline encrypted vault for iOS

Tidy, privacy-first vault that keeps everything on-device and uses Argon2id + AES-256 with per-field encryption — not just marketing buzz: the copy lists concrete choices like 64 MB memory hardness and biometric key storage in the secure enclave. Features such as camera card scanning, per-vault isolation, and on-demand file decryption are useful for single-device users, but the offline-only stance also limits appeal compared with cross-device managers like 1Password or Bitwarden.
