Built by parents doing OIT with our daughter.
OIT Journal is a free iPhone app that helps parents keep a daily dose log during their child's oral immunotherapy (OIT) for a food allergy: each dose, the observation window after it, any symptoms, and a PDF report for the allergist.
One tap on a normal day
On a normal day, one tap logs today's dose with the time and starts the observation window. If the day is different, the other button lets you note what's going on, like a fever or poor sleep, or record a skipped dose with a reason.
Now you watch.
The two hours after, on your lock screen
A Live Activity counts the observation window down where you will see it, with a short after-dose reminder. Tap Log symptoms to jump back to today's dose. When the window ends, you get a notification.
Two hours is the default. If your clinic watches longer or shorter, set your own length. Your clinic's instructions always come first.
Watch the progress add up
Every dose adds to the days on plan, and each new dose step climbs the ladder. Milestones mark the way, like 50 days on plan, and show the next one ahead. Each allergen keeps its own dose history.
A clear report for your allergist
Pick a period and share one PDF: a summary, the dose chart, reactions and a day-by-day log.
Treated in St. Pölten? The app also exports the clinic's own paper dosing diary, in German. OIT Journal is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the clinic.
Every child, one tap each
Siblings in OIT? Each child gets their own allergens, doses and observation window. When both are in their window, the app asks who a symptom is for.

Both parents, one diary
Invite your partner with an 8-character code. Whatever either of you logs shows up on both phones, so you both know if today's dose is done.
Private, and it works offline
Everything is saved on your phone first and syncs when there is signal. No ads, no tracking, and your data is never sold. Delete your account any time, right in the app.

Questions parents ask
Is OIT Journal free?
Yes. OIT Journal is free on the App Store for iPhone, with no ads and no tracking.
Does OIT Journal tell me what dose to give?
No. OIT Journal is a diary. You enter the dose your allergist prescribed and update it when they change it, and the app records what was given. It never suggests or changes a dose. Always follow your allergist's plan.
Does OIT Journal watch my child or detect reactions?
No. OIT Journal is a diary and a timer. It counts down the observation window and tells you when it ends, but it cannot see your child or recognise a reaction. Watch your child the way your clinic told you to. If you think it is anaphylaxis, follow your emergency action plan: use the adrenaline (epinephrine) auto-injector as prescribed and call your local emergency number.
Which allergens can I track in OIT Journal?
OIT Journal has peanut, cashew, walnut, hazelnut, almond, pistachio, milk, egg, wheat, soy, sesame, fish and shellfish built in, plus any allergen you add by name. A child can be on several at once, each with its own dose.
Can both parents use OIT Journal?
Yes. One parent creates an invite code in OIT Journal's Settings and the other joins with it. You then share one household diary on two phones. Anyone else who helps with care can join the same way.
Does OIT Journal work without internet?
Yes. Logging doses and symptoms and the observation window all work offline in OIT Journal. The app syncs with the other phone once you are back online.
Is there an Android app?
OIT Journal for Android is on its way. Join the waitlist below and we'll email you when it's on Google Play, and about nothing else.
