01
How Ownplora works
1. Start an observation: Pick a template or ask your own question and decide what you want to observe.
2. Record values and experiences: Enter measurements, events, notes and photos, for example in a short daily check-in.
3. Understand developments: Look at trends and comparisons in clear charts and read how reliable they are.
02
Scientifically cautious
Ownplora helps you structure observations. Personal records can make patterns and changes visible. They do not automatically prove cause and effect.
Ownplora does not make medical diagnoses and does not replace medical advice. The evaluations describe your own data and point out their limits.
Privacy
Privacy
No registration and no developer cloud account of your own. Your personal records are stored locally. At the current state of development the app contains no analytics of its own and no advertising tracking, subject to the final code review before release.
Apple Health is optional and is only connected for reading after your decision. You trigger exports yourself, and personal backups are encrypted.
Visiting this website is separate from that. The general tommsel.com privacy policy applies to it.
More technical details
You decide what you store and share
The data management page explains which data Ownplora stores locally, how you correct, export and back up entries, and which copies can arise outside the app.
