Clear help, one task at a time.

Open Today and choose Log INR, or open Records and add a record. Enter a home result, a laboratory result, or both. Use the specimen or collection date, not the date a report was downloaded. Add the exact time if known. Optional details can include meter name, strip lot, laboratory, reagent lot, and notes.

Turn off the exact-time option and save the collection date only. Both INR and actual-dose records can preserve an unknown exact time. Exact times are required before readings can be included as a deliberate comparison pair.

Yes. Use the actual collection date and the exact time if known. A future collection date cannot be saved.

Do not invent a numeric result. Follow the meter instructions. If it is useful for the record, copy the exact display into Notes.

Tap a record to edit it. Swipe to delete and confirm. Deleting removes that entry from the journal and future reports and cancels any local range alert associated with it.

The app supports multiple anticoagulants and physicians. A treatment can include medicine name, oral or injection route, prescriber, available strengths, dosage instructions, and treatment dates. These details are patient-entered and are not electronically verified.

Add the treatment in Settings, then open Dose. Select the treatment, dose time, first effective date, clinician or source, and every daily amount, including 0 mg where that is the recorded prescription. Review the complete seven-day schedule before saving it.

INR Wizard adds the seven patient-entered daily amounts for that dose time and shows the total. This is simple arithmetic on the recorded schedule, not a calculated or recommended dose.

Use it only if the clinician prescribed another administration time during the day. It creates a separate clinical schedule. It is not a way to add a second notification for the same dose.

Change schedule… normally creates a new version from the selected effective date while retaining the earlier version and linked dose records in Schedule History. Once a dose record refers to a schedule version, the original clinical details are protected from being silently overwritten.

Use Fix a data-entry mistake only for an unused schedule. Stop schedule moves it into history, retains earlier records, and stops preparing new reminder occurrences. Delete mistaken entry is available only when the entry is unused and has no dependent schedule history.

Open Dose, select the current schedule, then Reminder. Remind me is a separate toggle. Turn it on, then choose At dose time or Custom time in the timing picker. A custom reminder must differ from the recorded dose time. INR Wizard prepares reminder occurrences only for days whose recorded scheduled dose is above 0 mg. On compatible iPhones, you can also choose Notification or Alarm delivery.

Open Settings → Reminder notifications, or Dose → Reminder. The status panel shows Alarm permission and scheduled alarms when supported, plus Notifications, Sounds, and Time Sensitive status. Use the generic, privacy-safe test controls to check the selected route. Tests contain no patient, medicine, dose, or INR details.

A saved reminder is set to Alarm, but alarm permission has not yet been granted on this iPhone. Choose Allow Alarms to ask iPhone for permission. Until permission is granted, INR Wizard attempts notification delivery instead; delivery still depends on notification permission, iPhone settings, and iOS and may be silent under Focus or Silent mode.

Weekly dose and testing reminders set to Alarm repeat on their own. Reminders that fall on specific dates, such as a schedule change, a treatment end date, or a one-time or multi-week testing reminder, are set as alarms only for roughly the next 7 days. Later dates are prepared as notifications until you next open INR Wizard, which refreshes that window. Notification delivery depends on notification permission, iPhone settings, and iOS and may be silent under Focus or Silent mode, so open the app regularly and do not use it as your only reminder.

The Alarms section can show the most recent sync time and aggregate counts. Requested is the number of reminder occurrences the app evaluated, including any that could not be scheduled. Scheduled and sent as notifications mean that iOS accepted a scheduling request through that route. The counts do not contain a patient name, medicine, dose, INR value, reminder title, or reminder date. None proves that a reminder rang, appeared, was seen, or was acted upon.

No. Reminder time controls only the iPhone notification. It does not change the recorded dose time, weekly amounts, schedule history, or actual-dose records.

Confirm the current schedule has a dose above 0 mg that day and check its reminder time and delivery choice. For Notification delivery, use Open iPhone Settings and allow Notifications, Sounds, and Time Sensitive Notifications. For Alarm delivery, allow Alarms when INR Wizard asks. Hiding or locking INR Wizard with Face ID can make alarms fail silently while the app remains hidden or locked. After travel or a clock change, a date-specific alarm may ring at the previous time-zone wall-clock time until you open INR Wizard again. Reopen the app after permission, schedule, travel, or clock changes so it can reconcile delivery. Never rely on INR Wizard as the only medication reminder.

Notification dose reminders are marked Time Sensitive when iPhone permits it, but Focus, Silent mode, notification settings, device state, and iOS can still affect them. On iOS 26.1 or later, Apple documents that an authorised AlarmKit alarm can override Silent mode and Focus when it fires. It appears full screen; the alarm and the name INR Wizard are visible on the Lock Screen, and Apple’s alarm screen follows the iPhone language. iOS may also present the alarm on a paired Apple Watch; INR Wizard itself remains an iPhone app. If Alarm permission or support is unavailable, INR Wizard attempts notification delivery instead; delivery still depends on notification permission, iPhone settings, and iOS. Neither route is a Critical Alert, an emergency alert, or proof that a dose was taken.

Choose a treatment and today or an earlier date. Record the status as Taken, Missed, Skipped, or Not sure. When Taken is selected, enter the amount actually taken. If it differs from the planned amount, the app records the difference but gives no next-dose advice.

No. Today shows patient-entered prescription information copied from a source recorded in the app. Use the card to record what actually happened, including a missed dose, but do not treat the display as a calculation, recommendation, or instruction to change medication.

Enter the planned amount from the checked prescription or clinician source. Record the exact time if known or mark the time as unknown.

Open the scheduled dose and choose Taken. Leave Time taken known on and set Time taken to when the medication was actually taken. For example, a dose scheduled for 6:00 PM and taken at 7:00 PM keeps 6:00 PM as the scheduled time, 7:00 PM as the patient-reported taken time, and the later save or edit time as the logged time.

INR Wizard cannot advise a catch-up dose. Follow the instructions supplied by the appropriate healthcare professional.

For a treatment identified as Warfarin, Today offers quick selections for symptoms and injuries noticed at a chosen time. These are patient observations, not diagnoses or proof that Warfarin caused a symptom.

No. It records only what was noticed at that check-in. It does not mean the treatment or an INR result is safe.

Open Reports and choose an inclusive 7-, 30-, or 90-day period or Custom dates. Review the record counts, generate the PDF, and preview it with the iPhone viewer. Choose Share PDF only when you are ready to select a destination.

Depending on the selected dates, it can include patient and care-team details, anticoagulants, the current saved target range, schedule versions, symptom check-ins, method details, measured INR values and paired differences, and actual-dose records.

The report uses the current clinician-provided range saved when the PDF is generated. Because range history is not stored, it may not be the range that applied on every measurement date.

Changing the dates, records, or profile information makes the previous preview out of date. Generate it again before sharing. Previously saved or shared PDFs remain separate files outside the app.

Open Settings → Backup and restore → Create encrypted backup. Enter and confirm a password of at least 12 characters and choose a trusted Files destination. The backup contains sensitive health information even though it is encrypted. INR Wizard cannot recover a lost password.

It includes patient and physician details, treatments, schedule versions, INR and dose history, clinician instructions, symptom check-ins, home and laboratory testing-reminder schedules, saved dose and range-alert preferences, and app language. Generated PDFs, automatic-backup settings and password, and iPhone notification and Alarm permissions are not included.

It keeps one encrypted file inside INR Wizard on this iPhone and replaces that file after each successful run. Choose daily or weekly and a preferred time, or use Back Up Now. Its password is stored in this iPhone’s device-only Keychain and the rolling file is excluded from device backup. iOS controls the exact background time, so Background App Refresh, device state, or Low Power Mode can delay it. The app also checks when it opens. Keep a separately exported backup as well.

INR Wizard could not yet verify that reminder cleanup finished after data was replaced or erased. It pauses automatic background backup while it retries that cleanup, then resumes automatically once cleanup succeeds. Reopen INR Wizard to let it retry. If the message remains, use the technical-support contact below before relying on the automatic backup.

The one rolling file and its saved device-only password are deleted. The live journal is not changed. INR Wizard cannot recover the automatic-backup password after the app is removed.

Choose the encrypted backup, enter its password, then verify and preview it. Verification changes nothing. Review the patient identity, dates, language, counts, and reminder preferences. Type the confirmation word exactly as shown, then choose Replace all data and restore.

Yes. On a fresh installation, choose Restore an existing backup during setup. INR Wizard verifies and previews the backup before any journal is replaced.

The lock protects ownership of the existing records. To use INR Wizard for a different patient, erase all app data and complete setup again. Export anything that must be retained first.

No. Restore permanently replaces the current journal and never merges patients or histories. The complete archive is decrypted and validated before replacement. A wrong password, damaged file, or failed validation does not replace saved records. A successful restore removes cached PDFs and the previous rolling backup and password, leaves automatic backup off, and attempts to recreate eligible saved reminders using the iPhone’s current notification and Alarm permissions for each selected delivery route. Those system permissions are not restored. Review every restored reminder before relying on it; if iOS cannot confirm removal of an older alarm, INR Wizard warns and retries when reopened.

Open Settings → Erase all app data, review the first warning, then type the confirmation word exactly as shown. Reset removes the live journal, generated reports, rolling backup, and saved backup password, requests removal of app notifications and alarms, then returns to onboarding. If iOS cannot confirm reminder cleanup, INR Wizard warns that an outdated alarm may remain and retries when reopened. Reset cannot erase exported Files, iCloud Drive, email, or printed copies, existing device backups controlled by Apple, support correspondence, or TestFlight data.
