Getting started
- Create your account. Choose Create account and enter your email (a quick automatic bot check runs on that page; use a real, non-disposable address). We'll send you a 6-digit code (it expires in 10 minutes; check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive, or request a new one after a minute). Enter the code, then choose a password of at least 12 characters. A long passphrase (several unrelated words) is both easier to remember and stronger. The code only confirms your email address — it has nothing to do with your encryption key and can't be used to open your records.
- Save your recovery key. Right after signup you'll see a recovery key like
BVW6P-G17Q7-…. Download it or copy it somewhere safe and off this device (a password manager, or printed and stored with important papers). It's shown only once. See why it matters. - Add your details. In Profile, add your name, date of birth (needed for Phenotypic Age), sex (for sex-specific reference ranges), height (so BMI only needs your weight) and, if you know it, your blood type (for the emergency card).
- Enter your first results. Open Log results, pick the date of your test, add the panels on your lab report (e.g. CBC, Lipids) and type in the values. Blank fields are skipped.
- Explore. Your Dashboard now shows a card for each marker. Click any card for its full history, averages, reference ranges and background information.
SECURECORDS is a tracker, not a diagnoser. It shows your values against standard reference ranges and published estimates — it never interprets them or gives medical advice. Always discuss your results with a qualified health professional.
Your privacy & encryption
Your records are end-to-end encrypted. In plain terms:
- Everything you enter is encrypted in your browser before it's sent. Our servers store only scrambled data (ciphertext) they cannot read.
- The key that unlocks your data is itself locked with your password and, separately, with your recovery key. We never receive either one, so we can't unlock your data — and neither could anyone who broke into our servers.
- We can see your email address, how many records you have, when they were saved and when you last used the app (and, for secure links you make, their size, when they expire and how many times they were opened) — but not what they are: not which tests you track, your values, dates, notes, your medicines or allergies, your name, date of birth, sex, height or blood type.
- Your data is decrypted only in the browser tab you're using, and only while it's open and unlocked.
What this means for you
- After reloading the page (or opening a new tab) you'll be asked to unlock again — with your password, or with a passkey if you've set one up on that device. The decryption key is deliberately kept only in memory.
- Auto-lock: after a period without activity (30 minutes by default) the app locks itself and clears decrypted data from the tab. Change this in Settings → Privacy & security.
- We can't reset your password. If you forget it, your recovery key is the only way back in. If you lose both, your records can't be recovered by anyone — including us. Email or two-factor codes can't recover encrypted data either.
- Exports aren't encrypted. PDF reports and JSON/CSV downloads are created on your device as ordinary files. Anyone who gets a copy can read it — share them carefully and delete copies you no longer need.
Signing in & your account
- Signing in
- Choose Open app at the top of the website, then enter your email and password. New here? The same page has Create a free account. Signing in can take a second or two — your device is doing the heavy key-derivation work that keeps your password safe.
- Seeing what you typed
- Every password box has an eye button on the right. Tap it to show the password and check for typos; tap again to hide it. Avoid showing it where someone could look over your shoulder.
- "Unlock your records"
- If you're still signed in but the page was reloaded or auto-locked, you only need to unlock: choose Unlock with passkey if this device has one (see Passkey unlock), or enter your password.
- "Too many attempts"
- To protect against password guessing, sign-in attempts are limited per minute. Wait a minute and try again.
- Signing out
- Use Sign out at the bottom of the sidebar (on a phone: the icon in the top bar, or More → Sign out). This clears everything from the browser tab.
- Changing your password
- Settings → Privacy & security. You'll need your current password. Your records aren't re-encrypted; only the locked copy of your key is replaced. Other devices are signed out.
- Deleting your account
- At the bottom of Settings. It permanently deletes your account and every record and can't be undone — download your data first if you want to keep it.
Forgot your password? The recovery key
Your recovery key is the only way to regain access if you forget your password.
- On the sign-in page choose Forgot password? Use your recovery key.
- Enter your email and recovery key. Capitals, spaces and dashes don't matter, and the key contains a built-in check, so a typo is caught immediately.
- Choose a new password.
- You'll be given a new recovery key — the old one stops working. Save the new one straight away.
Lost your recovery key but still know your password? Sign in and generate a new one in Settings → Privacy & security. Do this as soon as you notice.
A passkey is not a recovery method. Passkeys only unlock a device where you're already signed in. If you've forgotten your password, you still need your recovery key.
Passkey unlock (Face ID, fingerprint, Windows Hello)
After a reload, a new tab or an auto-lock, SECURECORDS asks you to unlock your records. With a passkey you can do that with Face ID, a fingerprint, Windows Hello or your device PIN instead of typing your password. It's optional and set up separately on each device.
Setting it up
- Open Settings → Passkey unlock on the device you want to use (on a phone: More → Settings).
- Choose Set up passkey unlock on this device and read the short notes (below).
- On the last step, check the device name (it's only for your list, and it's encrypted), enter your password and choose Create passkey. Your device then asks for Face ID, a fingerprint, Windows Hello or its PIN.
- Done — the passkey appears in the list marked This device.
Changed your mind? On the last step choose Don't use a passkey on this device. That device keeps using your password and won't suggest a passkey again. You can still set one up later from the same place (Set one up anyway).
Unlocking with it
When the unlock screen appears, choose Unlock with passkey and confirm with your face, fingerprint or PIN. Your password always works too — just type it below. If you have passkeys on other devices but not this one, you'll see Use a passkey instead, which lets your browser offer a passkey from, for example, your phone.
Before you add one — worth knowing
- Anyone who can unlock the device — with their face, fingerprint or the device PIN — can open your records on it. Only add a passkey to a device that only you can unlock.
- Synced passkeys: if your passkeys sync (iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, a password manager), the passkey also works on your other devices signed in to that account. Protect that account with a strong password and 2-step verification.
- Keep your password and recovery key. A passkey only unlocks a device where you're already signed in. Signing in on a new device, after signing out, or after changing your password always needs your password.
- Lost or sold the device? Remove its passkey in Settings → Passkey unlock from any other device.
Managing your passkeys
- The list shows each passkey's device name, when it was added and when it was last used. You can have up to 10.
- Remove… stops a passkey unlocking SECURECORDS immediately. Your device may still list it in its own passwords/passkeys settings (for example, iPhone Settings → Passwords, or Google Password Manager); you can delete it there as well.
- To set up a passkey again on the same device, remove the old one first.
How it keeps your data encrypted
Your records are locked with a data key that only you can unlock. Your password locks one copy of that key and your recovery key locks another. A passkey adds one more locked copy, which only that passkey can open, and only after your device has checked your face, fingerprint or PIN. The passkey's secret never leaves your device, and we never receive your fingerprint or face, your PIN, or anything that could unlock your records. We store only the locked copy, when the passkey was added and last used, and the device name encrypted like everything else.
If it doesn't work
- "This browser can't use passkey unlock"
- Passkey unlock needs a recent browser and a device that can give passkeys a secret for encryption (a feature called PRF). Recent Chrome, Edge and Safari on most phones and computers support it; some older systems, some browsers and some security keys don't yet. Your password works everywhere.
- "…can create passkeys but can't use them to unlock encrypted data yet"
- The device made a passkey but can't provide that secret. Nothing was saved in SECURECORDS. You may want to delete the new, unused passkey from your device's passkey settings.
- "This device already has a SECURECORDS passkey"
- Remove the existing one from the list first, then set it up again.
- "The passkey request was cancelled or timed out"
- Try again, or unlock with your password.
- The Unlock with passkey button doesn't appear
- The device remembers which passkey belongs to it; clearing the browser's site data forgets that. Use Use a passkey instead, or unlock with your password and set the passkey up again.
The dashboard
- Greeting: your name and email, the date of your last reading and how many markers and readings you have.
- Phenotypic Age card: your research-based biological age estimate and its nine inputs (coloured by status — click one to open it). Click the estimate itself for its own page with a chart and history. See Phenotypic Age.
- Range status card: how many of your markers' latest values are in range or outside it. Press Filter to show only those markers; press again (Clear) to show all.
- BMI card: your latest BMI, its WHO category, weight, height and trend.
- Medications & allergies card: how many medicines you take now, today's and the last 7 days' “Taken” check-offs (as plain counts, with a small bar per day), as-needed uses, and your allergies — the ones you described as severe are outlined. Click any part to open it.
- Marker cards: one per marker that has readings, showing its trend line, latest value and status (the coloured top edge: green in range, orange above, blue below). Click a card to open its detail page.
Keeping it tidy
- Search by name or category, or click a category chip to show just that category.
- Sort: group by category, outside-range first, recently updated, or A–Z.
- Grid / list: switch between cards and a compact list.
- Expand all / Collapse all category sections (when grouped by category). Your choice is remembered.
- Pin markers you care most about with the ☆ on a card — they appear in a Pinned section at the top.
- Hide a marker from its detail page. Its readings are kept; bring it back from Show hidden markers at the bottom of the dashboard.
Default layout, sort and which summary cards appear (Phenotypic Age, BMI, Medications) can be set in Settings → Dashboard.
Logging results
A whole lab report at once
- Open Log results and set the date (and optionally the time) of the test.
- Click a panel under Add a whole panel (e.g. CBC, Lipids) or search for single markers.
- Type each value in the units shown next to the box. Each row shows the reference range and your last value for comparison.
- Press Save. Only filled-in markers are saved.
Import from a lab report (PDF)
Instead of typing, you can let SECURECORDS read the PDF your lab gives you. The PDF is read on your device — it's never uploaded, and we never see it.
- Download your report as a PDF from your lab's website or app.
- Open Log results and choose Choose a PDF under Import from a lab report.
- The values it finds are filled in below, each with the line from your report it came from, and the test date is set. Check every value and the date against your report — anything unusual (a missing unit, a value far outside the usual range) is marked.
- Lines that look like results but aren't tests we know by that name are listed under not recognised. For each one, choose a built-in marker or one of your custom biomarkers, pick Create a new custom biomarker (the name, unit and range are filled in from the report — the biomarker is created when you save), or skip it. A line with the same name as one of your custom biomarkers fills in by itself. Tick Remember my matches and the next report from the same lab fills in by itself (your matches are saved encrypted on your account).
- Tick I've checked the imported values and press Save. Nothing is saved until you do.
- Which PDFs work?
- Digital PDFs from any lab, in any country — it understands US and SI units (mg/dL, mmol/L, g/L…), decimal commas and different date formats. If the date could be read two ways (03/04 is 3 April in most countries but March 4 in the US), you'll be asked which it is. Scanned or photographed reports have no text inside, so they can't be read — enter those by hand.
- How many can I import?
- Free: 1 report a month. Plus: 5 a month. Pro: unlimited. An import only counts when you save it — cancelling, or a PDF that can't be read, doesn't use one. The count resets on the 1st of each month (UTC).
- A value looks wrong
- Fix it in the box before saving — you're always in control of what's saved. If a test was matched to the wrong marker, clear that box; you can add it as a custom biomarker instead.
One reading at a time
Every marker's detail page has an Add a reading form with date, optional time and an optional note (e.g. "fasting" or the lab's name).
Special cases
- Blood pressure takes two numbers: systolic (top) and diastolic (bottom).
- BMI is calculated from weight and height. If your height is saved in your Profile, it's filled in for you.
- Decimals: use a point or a comma (5.5 or 5,5).
- Units: enter values in the units shown — these follow your unit settings.
Editing or deleting a reading
On a marker's detail page, click the point on the chart or Edit in the readings table. Change the values and press Save changes, or press Delete and confirm.
Biomarker detail pages
- Latest reading: the most recent value, its status and a bar showing where it sits against the reference range, with ticks for earlier readings.
- Average: your average over 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, all time or a custom date range — with min, max, the % of readings in range, and the change from first to last.
- Trend chart: hover (or tap) a point to see its date, value and status; click to edit it. Choose a time range, turn on Zoom to my values to see small changes, and show or hide life events.
- Your readings: every reading with date, time, value, status, note and when it was entered.
- Reference range: the range used for you, plus the standard ranges (by sex where they differ).
- About: general information on what the marker is, why it's measured and what can affect a reading. It's general education — not an interpretation of your results.
Tracking a new marker
Use Track a biomarker on the dashboard and search the list, or choose Add custom biomarker for anything not listed (enter its name, unit and reference range; optionally different ranges for men and women). A marker appears on the dashboard once it has at least one reading.
Reference ranges & statuses
- Values are compared with standard adult clinical reference ranges. Labs use slightly different ranges depending on their equipment and methods.
- In range — within the range. Above range / Below range — outside it. These are descriptions, not judgements: a value outside a reference range isn't necessarily a problem, and one inside isn't a guarantee. Ask a health professional what your results mean for you.
- Some ranges differ by sex (e.g. creatinine, hemoglobin, ferritin). They follow the sex set in your Profile.
- Use your lab's range: on a marker's detail page, choose Use my lab's range and enter the range printed on your report. Custom ranges are marked "your lab" and can be reset at any time.
Life events
Life events let you mark what was happening — a new medication, a diet change, an illness, starting exercise — so you can see it alongside your results.
- Add them in Life events (on a phone: More → Life Events): what happened, a category, the date, and whether it was a one-off, lasted for a while (with an end date) or is ongoing. Add a note if you like.
- Show an event on all charts or only on selected markers. The + Add life event link under a chart pre-selects that marker.
- On charts, an event appears as a coloured pin with a dashed line; things that last also get a light shaded span. Hover or tap a pin for details.
- They're also listed on lab visit comparisons and can be included in PDF reports.
Life events are for your own context. SECURECORDS never suggests that an event caused a change in your results.
Medications
Medications keeps a list of the medicines you take now and those you've taken before — handy at a doctor's appointment, at the pharmacy or in an emergency. It's free on every plan.
Adding a medicine
- Choose Add a medicine and start typing its name. Suggestions are generic names — the active ingredient, such as “atorvastatin” or “metformin” — not brand names. If yours isn't listed (or you'd rather use the brand name), just type it. The list is searched on your device, so what you type isn't sent anywhere.
- Optionally add the strength (e.g. 500 mg), the form (tablet, inhaler…), how you take it, what it's for, who prescribed it, your pharmacy and notes.
- Set the date you started. The status is Taking it, Paused for now (with the date the pause began) or Stopped (with the date you stopped). Pauses are remembered, so your timeline and check-off counts show them.
- Choose whether it shows on all charts, only on selected markers, or not at all.
“Taken” check-offs (optional)
If you'd like to tick off doses, turn on Let me tick off when I take this medicine when you add or edit it. It's off unless you choose it. Then pick either:
- At set times — add the times you take it (for example 08:00 and 20:00). Each time appears as a box to tick under Today at the top of the page. Ticked it by mistake? Untick it.
- As needed — a Took one now button records the time you took it. Tap the × next to a time to undo it.
History on a medicine shows what you ticked over the last two weeks. Paused and stopped medicines don't appear under Today. SECURECORDS doesn't send reminders or notifications — the check-offs are simply a record for you.
Check-offs: calendar and counts
The Check-offs tab at the top of Medications shows what you ticked. Pick a medicine, then 30 or 90 days:
- Counts — for example “26 of 28 set times ticked in the last 30 days”, or for an as-needed medicine, how many times you took it.
- Calendar — one square per day, with a dot for each set time: filled when ticked, empty when not, dashed when it's later today. Grey days aren't counted: before you switched check-offs on, while paused, or after the medicine was stopped.
- As-needed use — a bar chart of how often you took it per week (last 12 weeks) or per month (last 12 months). Handy to show a doctor how often you've needed an inhaler or pain relief.
These are simple counts of what you recorded, free on every plan — not a score. Counts use your current set times; if you change the times, earlier days are counted against the new ones.
Medication timeline (Plus and Pro)
The Timeline tab shows every medicine as a bar from the day you started to the day you stopped (or today), with pauses shown as gaps and your lab-visit dates as dashed lines. Choose 1 year, 3 years or All. It's an overview of the dates you recorded and never suggests a medicine affected your results.
When you stop a medicine
Choose Stopped today (or Edit to set an earlier date). It moves to Past medicines, so your history stays complete and its span on your charts ends on that date. Delete removes a medicine entirely, including its check-offs — use it for entries made by mistake.
On your charts and in reports
- Each medicine appears on charts as a span from the day you started to the day you stopped (or today), in the same colour as medication life events. Turn this off for all medicines in Settings → Dashboard.
- PDF reports (Plus and Pro) can include a Medications table — current medicines plus any stopped during the report's period — with optional check-off counts for the period, and an Allergies & intolerances table.
SECURECORDS keeps your list — it doesn't check doses or interactions and never suggests a medicine caused a change in your results. Ask your pharmacist or doctor about your medicines. Medicine names: Health Canada Drug Product Database (Open Government Licence – Canada).
Allergies & intolerances
Allergies & intolerances is a separate list for anything you react to — medicines, foods, latex, insect stings and so on. It's free on every plan.
- For each one, enter what you react to, whether it's an allergy or an intolerance, the reaction (e.g. hives), how bad it is in your own words (mild, moderate, severe or not sure), since when, and notes.
- The list is sorted with the ones you've described as severe first. SECURECORDS doesn't assess severity; it shows what you entered.
- No known allergies? Leave the list empty.
Emergency card
Emergency card puts the essentials in one place for when you can't speak for yourself: your allergies, the medicines you take now, conditions, blood type and who to call. It's free on every plan.
- Add your conditions (one per line), up to three emergency contacts and anything else worth knowing (for example "Pacemaker" or "Organ donor").
- Your name, date of birth and blood type come from Profile (add your blood type there if you know it); allergies and medicines come straight from your lists, so the card stays up to date when they change. Untick anything you'd rather leave off the card.
- Choose how to carry it:
- Print wallet card — a credit-card-sized card, front and back, to cut out and keep in your wallet. It's text only and never expires; reprint it when your medicines change.
- Print full page — the whole card on one page, for your fridge or a travel folder.
- Show QR code — on your phone. Whoever scans it (a nurse, a paramedic, a pharmacist) sees your card in their browser for 24 hours; then the code stops working. You can turn it off sooner.
The QR code holds a secure link: the card is encrypted on your device with a key that exists only inside the code, so SECURECORDS stores a copy it can't read. The card shows exactly what you entered, marked as not checked by SECURECORDS or a health professional.
Lab visits
Lab visits (on a phone: More → Lab Visits) groups your results by date into report cards. A date counts as a visit when it has at least one lab result (days with only home vitals, such as blood pressure, aren't listed).
- Open a visit to see every value from that day, grouped by category, with status and reference range.
- Compare with the previous visit (the default) or any other: you'll see the change for each marker and which ones moved into or out of range.
- If all nine inputs were measured that day, the visit shows its Phenotypic Age, calculated with your age on that date.
- Life events between the two visits are listed, and Export this visit as PDF creates a report for that date.
Phenotypic Age
Phenotypic Age is a research-based estimate of biological age from Levine et al. (2018, Aging 10:573), combining your age with nine routine blood markers: albumin, creatinine, fasting glucose, CRP, lymphocytes %, MCV, RDW, alkaline phosphatase and white blood cells.
- It needs all nine markers and your date of birth (Profile). Sex isn't part of the formula.
- The dashboard uses the latest value of each input — which may come from different dates. Lab visits show it for a single day when all nine were measured together. Its own page shows the full history (below).
- "Largest contributors" is a rough, directional indication of which inputs pushed the estimate up or down the most.
- It's an estimate from published research, not a diagnosis and not a measure of health on its own.
History, chart and what changed it
Click the estimate on the dashboard card (or History & details) to open the Phenotypic Age page. It's laid out like a marker's page:
- Trend: your estimate over time, with your actual age as a dashed line for reference. Choose a time range; hover or tap a point for its details. Life events and medicines shown on all charts appear here too.
- A new point every time any of the nine inputs has a new reading. Each point uses the latest value of each input as of that date, so results from different days are combined, just like the dashboard. Points whose inputs span more than one month say so, and a value more than a year old is flagged.
- Same-day draws only: tick this to see just the dates when all nine inputs were measured together, each compared with the previous such date.
- History: every estimate with your age at the time, the difference, the change from the previous estimate and what changed — each input with a new value, for example "Glucose 5.8 → 5.2 mmol/L −0.9 years". That figure is the formula re-run with only that one value changed (and "Time since the previous estimate" shows the effect of getting older). Several changes don't add up exactly, because the formula isn't a straight line.
- Latest estimate, a summary for the chosen period (lowest, highest, change), the nine inputs with their latest values (click one to open it) and About Phenotypic Age.
The history is worked out on your device from your readings — nothing extra is stored, and correcting a past reading updates it.
BMI & weight categories
BMI (Body Mass Index) is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared, rounded to one decimal.
| Category | BMI (kg/m²) |
|---|---|
| Underweight | Below 18.5 |
| Normal weight | 18.5 – 24.9 |
| Overweight (pre-obese) | 25.0 – 29.9 |
| Obese class I | 30.0 – 34.9 |
| Obese class II | 35.0 – 39.9 |
| Obese class III | 40.0 and above |
Source: World Health Organization. Obesity: preventing and managing the global epidemic. WHO Technical Report Series 894. Geneva: WHO; 2000. Also used by Health Canada (Canadian Guidelines for Body Weight Classification in Adults, 2003) and the US CDC.
Applies to adults (18+). Not intended for pregnancy, and BMI doesn't distinguish muscle from fat. WHO notes lower cut-off points may apply for some Asian populations.
Units
Choose how values are shown and entered in Settings → Units:
- Lab results: SI units (used in Canada, the UK, EU and Australia — e.g. glucose 5.5 mmol/L) or US conventional units (e.g. glucose 99 mg/dL).
- Body measurements: metric (kg, cm, °C) or imperial (lb, inches, °F).
Your readings are always stored in SI units, so switching never changes your data — only how it's displayed and entered. PDF reports can use a different unit system from the app (handy for a doctor in another country).
PDF reports & exporting your data
PDF reports
PDF reports are part of the Plus and Pro plans. Open Export as PDF (on a phone: More → Export as PDF). Choose what to include on the left; the preview on the right updates as you go. On a phone, use Open preview.
- Report details: a title, who it's prepared for (e.g. your doctor) and notes such as questions for your appointment.
- Your details: tick which personal details appear in the header.
- Period and Markers: everything, outside-range only, pinned, by category, or hand-picked.
- Sections: allergies & intolerances, medications, summary table, Phenotypic Age, BMI, life events, and per-marker details (charts, statistics, readings, notes).
- Format: units and paper size (Letter or A4).
- Share (on phones and some computers): sends the PDF straight from your device to the app you pick — email, messages, a cloud drive. It doesn't pass through SECURECORDS. Where sharing isn't available, download the PDF and attach it.
A downloaded PDF isn't encrypted. Anyone with the file can read it. Share it only with people you trust, prefer secure channels over ordinary email, and delete copies you no longer need.
Secure links
Instead of attaching the file, you can send your report as a secure link (Plus and Pro). Choose Secure link above the preview, say who it's for (only you see this) and how long it should work — 1, 3 or 7 days — then Create secure link.
- The PDF is encrypted on your device with a key made just for that link. The key is part of the link itself (after the #), which browsers never send to our servers — so SECURECORDS stores a copy it can't open.
- Copy link, Send by email (opens your own email app with the link in a message) or Share… on a phone. Whoever opens the link sees the report in their browser and can save a copy; they don't need an account.
- It can be opened any number of times until it expires. Your list shows how many times each link was opened — nothing about who opened it.
- Turn off a link at any time in Settings → Secure links (or under the preview); the encrypted copy is deleted straight away. Expired links are deleted automatically.
- Anyone who gets hold of the link can open it while it works — send it only to people you trust. For your security the full link is shown only once and never stored; make a new one if you need it again.
Downloading all your data
Settings → Your data offers a complete JSON download of the whole account (every profile) on every plan, including Free — your data is always yours to take with you. A CSV of readings for spreadsheets is part of Plus and Pro, and covers the profile you're viewing.
Plans, billing & family profiles
What each plan includes
- Free: 500 stored readings, 3 custom biomarkers, every built-in marker, charts, lab visits, life events, medications (with optional check-offs), allergies, the emergency card with its QR code, Phenotypic Age, BMI, 1 lab-report import a month and the complete JSON download.
- Plus ($8 CAD/month or $80/year): 5,000 readings, 25 custom biomarkers, 5 lab-report imports a month, PDF reports (including medications and allergies), secure report links, the medication timeline and CSV export.
- Pro ($15 CAD/month or $150/year): unlimited readings (fair use), unlimited custom biomarkers, unlimited lab-report imports and up to 5 profiles.
End-to-end encryption is the same on every plan. Reading and custom-biomarker allowances count across the whole account, including every profile.
Upgrading, changing or cancelling
Open Profile → Plan. The bars there show how much of your plan you're using. Upgrade takes you to Stripe's secure checkout; your card details go to Stripe and never reach SECURECORDS. Manage subscription opens Stripe's billing page, where you can switch plan, change between monthly and yearly, update your card, download invoices or cancel. Paid plans renew automatically until you cancel. A cancelled plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for; there are no refunds for partial periods (see our Terms of Use).
Limits and downgrades never lock your data
If you reach a limit, or move to a smaller plan, everything you've stored stays readable, editable, exportable and deletable. Only adding new readings, custom biomarkers or profiles pauses until you're back under the limit or upgrade. Additional profiles become read-only after leaving Pro — you can still view, export and delete them.
Family profiles (Pro)
- Add a profile in Profile → Profiles with a name and, optionally, date of birth and sex (used for reference ranges and Phenotypic Age).
- Switch between profiles with the Viewing buttons at the top of the Dashboard, Log results, Lab visits, Life events, Medications, Allergies and Export as PDF pages. Everything you add goes to the profile you're viewing.
- Each profile has its own markers, readings, life events, medications, allergies and reports. Units, dashboard layout and your lab's custom ranges are shared settings for the account.
- Profiles are encrypted like everything else — including which records belong to whom. Everyone in the account is unlocked by the same password, so use profiles for people whose records you already look after.
- Deleting a profile permanently deletes all of that person's records.
Profile & settings
- Profile
- Your plan and usage, the details of the profile you're viewing — name (for greetings and reports), date of birth, sex for reference ranges, height and blood type (shown on the emergency card) — and your family profiles on Pro. All personal details are encrypted like your records.
- Settings
- Units, appearance (light, dark or match your device), dashboard defaults, default chart period and whether medicines show on charts, privacy & security (auto-lock, change password, new recovery key), passkey unlock (set up, list and remove passkeys), secure links (see and turn off open links), your data (downloads) and account deletion. Preferences follow you to any device you sign in on, except the theme, which is per device.
Using SECURECORDS on your phone
SECURECORDS works in any modern mobile browser. The bottom bar gives quick access to Dashboard, Log, Meds (Medications), Card (Emergency card) and More (Lab Visits, Life Events, Allergies, Export as PDF, Profile, Settings, Help and Sign out). Charts respond to taps: tap a point for its details.
Add the app to your phone
Put SECURECORDS on your phone's home screen and it works like an app: its own icon, full screen without the browser's address bar, straight to your sign-in or unlock screen. No app store is needed, and it's always the latest version.
Frequently asked questions
Can I try SECURECORDS before signing up?
Yes — choose Try the live demo on the home page. It opens a sample account with made-up data, with no email or password needed. You can try every feature; your changes stay in that browser tab and are never saved, and reloading brings the original data back. Password, passkey and account settings are switched off in the demo.
Why do I have to enter my password every time I reload the page?
Your decryption key is kept only in the page's memory, never saved in the browser. That protects your data if someone else uses your device later — the trade-off is unlocking again after a reload. To make that quicker, set up passkey unlock and use Face ID, a fingerprint or your device PIN instead of typing your password.
Can a passkey recover my account if I forget my password?
No. A passkey only unlocks a device where you're already signed in. To reset a forgotten password you need your recovery key.
Can SECURECORDS staff see my results?
No. Your records are encrypted on your device before they reach us and we never have the key. We can see your email address and how many records you store, but not their contents.
I forgot my password and lost my recovery key. Can you help?
Unfortunately not — and nobody else can either. That's the other side of end-to-end encryption. You can create a new account, but the old records can't be decrypted. This is why saving your recovery key matters.
Why isn't a marker I added showing on the dashboard?
The dashboard only shows markers that have at least one reading. Add a reading and it appears. Also check the search box, category chips and range filter, and Show hidden markers at the bottom.
My lab uses a different reference range. What should I do?
Open the marker and choose Use my lab's range to enter the range printed on your report.
Why is Phenotypic Age missing?
It needs all nine input markers and your date of birth in your Profile. The card tells you what's missing.
Why isn't BMI in the marker details of my PDF?
Check the Markers option — for example, "Outside range only" leaves out markers that are in range. The report says so when this happens. BMI also needs readings within the report's period.
What does "record(s) failed integrity checks" mean?
Each record is sealed so that any tampering or corruption is detected. A record that fails the check is skipped rather than shown incorrectly. If you see this, contact us.
Will SECURECORDS remind me to take my medicines?
No. SECURECORDS doesn't send reminders or notifications. If you turn on “Taken” check-offs for a medicine, you can tick off doses as a record for yourself — use your phone's alarm or a reminder app if you need prompting.
Why can't I find my medicine by its brand name?
The suggestions list generic names only — the active ingredient printed on the box or the pharmacy label (for example, “atorvastatin” rather than a brand name). If you'd rather use the brand name, or it isn't listed, simply type it.
Is it safe to send a secure link by email?
The report or card behind the link is encrypted, and SECURECORDS can't open it. But the link itself contains the key, so anyone who can read that email can open it until it expires. Send it only to people you trust, pick the shortest time that works, and turn it off once it's been seen (Settings → Secure links).
Does SECURECORDS give medical advice?
No. SECURECORDS is a personal tracker. It shows your values against standard reference ranges and published estimates, without interpretation. Please talk to a qualified health professional about your results.
Still need help?
Send us a message through the contact form. Please don't include lab results or other health information — messages aren't end-to-end encrypted the way your records are.
