More than a feature list

Why Upgrade?

Premium is designed as a more complete IC management system: one that helps organize, interpret, and prepare with the information you already track.

Currently available analysis, expanded reports, physician-ready PDFs, and detailed history support clearer review and appointment preparation. Planned reminders, summaries, exports, and backup tools are labeled separately so you can distinguish today’s product from the longer-term vision.

Choose Premium if deeper review and preparation would help you save time, lower stress, and feel more in control of your personal IC record.
