Fosterwell is an iPhone app made by Develak that helps foster parents log visits, calls, placements, and appointments in one place for agency and court reports. [Download on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6792466409) [Support](https://develak.com/apps/fosterwell/support/) [Privacy](https://develak.com/apps/fosterwell/privacy/) ## What is Fosterwell? Foster parents are asked to document everything: visits with the child’s family, dated notes, calls, appointments, medication, receipts. Fosterwell keeps it all in one place, as it happens, so the report your agency asks for is already written. Log a visit in one tap, keep a journal that holds up, track every call and text, and record where a child has lived. Appointments, medication, and expenses stay organized too, so nothing is left to memory when a hearing or review comes. ### App Store description Your agency asks you to document everything. Fosterwell is where you do it. Visits with the child’s family, dated notes, the calls you made, appointments, medication, receipts — kept in one place, as they happen, so the report you are asked for is already written. #### Record a visit in one tap Contact passed and you never wrote down what happened? Fosterwell puts it at the top of the screen with four buttons: took place, not attended, cancelled, ended early. That is the whole entry. Times, location, who was there and your own notes are there if you want them — none required. #### A calendar that shows the pattern Every contact on a month grid, marked by what actually happened — the answer to "how has contact been going?" without anybody having to characterize it. #### A journal that holds up Dated, factual entries with a photo, a file or a short video if you need one. Behavior, incidents, milestones, sleep, school, how they were after contact. Tag an entry to one child or to the whole sibling group, then read the journal back by child or by date. Write a line a day; at a review it is worth more than memory. #### Who you called, and when Every call, text, email and letter with the caseworker, the guardian ad litem, the school, the clinic, the family. Including the ones nobody answered — an unanswered call is what shows you tried. Six months later somebody asks "did you tell them?" and the answer is on your phone, with a date on it. #### Where they have lived Arrivals, respite weekends, moves to another home, returns to family. "How many placements has she had this year?" is asked at every permanency hearing. It is a question about dates, and answered from memory it goes into a document read as fact. #### Everything else a placement brings Appointments for the caseworker, the hearing, therapy, the pediatrician, school — with reminders. Medication with a schedule and a dose log that records a refusal honestly. Expenses with a photo of the receipt and where the claim has got to. And the dozen people around the child, with the number you need at eight on a Sunday. #### The report (Pro) A PDF that opens with the contact summary on page one — arranged, took place, not attended, cancelled — then the detail behind it: the journal, the calls, the placement history, appointments, medication, expenses. Filter by child, by period, by section. Every page says what it is: a foster parent’s own record, not a legal document. #### What is free, and stays free Recording. All of it. Visits, journal, communications, placement history, appointments, medication, expenses, the team, the Face ID lock, and a complete CSV export of everything you have written. Two children, so a sibling group placed together is covered. Your agency requires this documentation and we will not stand between you and it. #### What Pro adds - The agency and court report, filterable, with the summary on page one - Every placement at once, however many your home takes - The 48-hour freeze: entries become read-only two days after writing, and the report says so - Contact figures — counts and regularity, stated plainly - Private iCloud sync, and dated backups you can restore from - Read-only copies for a co-parent or caseworker, with a register of what you shared #### Privacy, properly No account. No analytics. Nothing you write is sent anywhere except your own iCloud, and only if you turn sync on. Lock the whole app behind Face ID — never a paid feature, never will be. This is a file about a child in care, and it is treated as one. #### A note on tone Fosterwell records; your agency decides. No feature in this app rates the child’s family. A visit that did not happen is recorded as a fact, in neutral words — that is what a court asks for, and the only honest thing to write. Pro renews until you cancel it in Apple Account settings. The annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Contact is recorded with four buttons at the top of the screen: took place, not attended, cancelled, or ended early. That is the whole entry. Times, location, who was there, and your own notes are there if you want them, but none are required. Every contact also appears on a month grid, marked by what actually happened. ### What goes in the Fosterwell journal? Journal entries are dated and factual, and can include a photo, a file, or a short video. They can cover behavior, incidents, milestones, sleep, school, or how a child was after contact. Each entry is tagged to one child or to the whole sibling group, and the journal can be read back by child or by date. A line written each day is worth more than memory at a review. ### What does the Fosterwell report include? Fosterwell Pro generates a PDF that opens with the contact summary on page one, showing what was arranged and what took place, was not attended, or was cancelled. The rest of the report holds the detail behind it: the journal, the calls, the placement history, appointments, medication, and expenses. It can be filtered by child, by period, or by section, and every page states that it is a foster parent’s own record, not a legal document. ## What’s new in Fosterwell Version 1.0 · Released August 19, 2026 This is the first version of Fosterwell, released on August 19, 2026. ## Fosterwell: your questions, answered Something else?
