Getting Started
How do I log my first AFib episode?
Tap the red "+" button on the home screen to instantly start logging an episode. The app will record the start time automatically. You can add details like intensity, triggers, and medications during or after the episode.
Do I need to create an account?
No! AFib Tracker works completely offline and doesn't require an account. Just download and start tracking. All your data stays on your device.
How do I add custom triggers or medications?
Go to the Settings tab and tap "Triggers" or "Medications" to add your own custom items. You can also edit or remove the built-in triggers and medications to personalize the app for your needs.
Can I edit an episode after I've logged it?
Yes. Go to the Episodes tab, tap on any episode to view its details, then tap "Edit" to modify any information. You can change the date, time, intensity, triggers, medications, or notes.
What do the intensity levels mean?
Intensity levels are subjective and help you track the severity of your episodes:
Mild: Noticeable symptoms but doesn't significantly impact daily activities
Moderate: Uncomfortable symptoms that affect your ability to function normally
Severe: Intense symptoms that may require rest or medication
Features
Does the app work offline?
Yes! AFib Tracker works completely offline. You don't need an internet connection to log episodes, view your data, or generate reports.
What's the difference between the calendar and statistics views?
Calendar: Shows a visual overview of which days you had episodes, with color coding by intensity. Tap any day to see that day's episodes.
Statistics: Shows patterns and insights like total episodes, average duration, common triggers, and episodes per month. You can filter by time range (all time, this month, by year).
How does the doctor report work?
Go to Settings → Export Data → Generate Doctor Report. The app creates a professional PDF with summary statistics and a detailed episode log that you can share with your cardiologist or healthcare provider.
Does the app integrate with Apple Health?
Currently, AFib Tracker stores data independently on your device. HealthKit integration may be added in the future as an optional feature.
Is there a way to set reminders or alerts?
AFib Tracker is designed for on-demand logging during episodes rather than scheduled reminders. The quick-start button is always available when you need it. Reminder features may be added in future updates based on user feedback.
Data & Export
Where is my data stored?
All your data is stored locally on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework. Nothing is sent to external servers. Your data may be included in iCloud backups if you have iCloud backup enabled for your device.
How do I export my data?
Go to Settings → Export Data and choose:
Export Episodes (CSV): Creates a spreadsheet file you can open in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets
Generate Doctor Report (PDF): Creates a formatted report for sharing with healthcare providers
Can I import data from another app?
Yes! If you have episode data in CSV format, go to Settings → Import Data. The app supports multiple CSV formats and will show you a preview before importing. See the CSV Format Guide for details.
How do I delete all my data?
Go to Settings → Manage Data → Delete All Episodes. This will remove all episode data from the app. Consider exporting your data first if you want to keep a backup. You can also delete the app entirely to remove all local data.
Will I lose my data if I get a new phone?
If you have an iCloud backup that includes app data, your episodes should restore when you set up your new phone. We recommend exporting your data as a CSV before switching devices as an additional backup.
Troubleshooting
The app crashed. What should I do?
We're sorry if you experienced a crash. Try these steps:
1. Fully close the app and reopen it
2. Restart your iPhone
3. Make sure you're running the latest iOS version
If crashes persist, please contact us with details about what you were doing when the crash occurred.
My episode duration seems incorrect.
Duration is calculated from start time to end time. For episodes that span multiple days (start at 11 PM, end at 2 AM), the duration reflects the full elapsed time. You can manually edit the duration field if needed.
I can't find a previous episode.
Use the search bar at the top of the Episodes tab to find episodes by keywords in your notes or triggers. You can also use the Calendar tab to navigate to specific dates. Episodes are stored permanently unless you delete them.
Can I sync data between iPad and iPhone?
Currently, each device stores data independently. iCloud sync is being considered for a future update. For now, you can export your data from one device and import it to another.
The app isn't available in my country.
AFib Tracker is gradually rolling out to more countries. If it's not available in your region yet, please contact us and let us know where you're located—we'll prioritize based on user interest.
Pricing & Billing
Is AFib Tracker free?
AFib Tracker offers a 14-day free trial to explore all features. After the trial, it's a one-time purchase of $14.99/year or $29.99 for lifetime access. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.
What's the difference between yearly and lifetime?
Yearly ($14.99/year): Full access for one year, renew annually
Lifetime ($29.99 once): Pay once, own forever including all future updates
Both options include the same features—choose based on your preference.
Will I lose access to my data if I don't renew?
Your data is stored locally on your device and belongs to you. If your yearly subscription expires, you can still view and export all your data—you just won't be able to log new episodes until you renew.
