more The best case tracker that I've found out there. It's affordable, synchronizes well across my devices and has a lot of customization available. There are a few little annoyances, but because I can't tell if they're just user error instead of actual design issues, I won't bother mentioning them. If you're looking for an inexpensive and user friendly case logging app, this seems to fit the bill.
Developer Response Thank you for the great review, I appreciate it... however, please get in touch with the little annoyances because the only way I know what annoys my users *specifically* is if they let me know!You can email me directly in the app via Settings -> Help & Support -> Email Support We can see if what annoys you is a bug or just something I've not implemented very well!Cheers, Paul

After years of fruitless searching, someone has finally developed a worthwhile app for tracking anesthesia cases. The setup is simple and the use is intuitive. Export a slick case report for credentialing? No problem! This app has saved me hours of formulating the data for tracking case averages. I give it my highest recommendation!
Developer Response Thank you so much for the wonderful review, I really appreciate it. Let me know if I can do anything to improve things 🤓 Kind regards, Paul

I’ve been using your app for the past 5 years now and highly recommend it to my Nurse Anesthetist colleagues. To only question I have is downloading case logs from a selected time period. Can you tell me how I can download just the last year of case logs instead of the past 5 years of case?
Developer Response Hi Robert! Thank you very much for the lovely review, I really appreciate it!The easiest way to download a specific day, week, month or year of cases is to select that range on the Dashboard, then either view the Cases by tapping on that line in the section below the Case Cards OR simply tap the export/share button. It will export all those cases for you in one file.You can also create a Search on the All Data screen to specify a precise date range, as well as add other search terms to filter your cases.Get in touch by email if you need further help and I’ll reply as soon as I can. Kind regards, Paul.

… and I like it. Occasional crashes when reopening a case from that day that has already been saved. Some random crashes. Happy I bought it. Please keep on the bug fixes. Thanks!
Developer Response Thank you for the review and feedback, I really appreciate it. If you have time and you find some crashes are easy to reproduce, please get in touch with me via the email in the app and I’ll help get to the bottom of it. Some crashes are sometimes out of my control but most of them (even if rare) are probably my fault! 😬Thanks again. 🙂

FIXES/IMPROVEMENTS
• Fixed duplicated Live Activities appearing on the Lock Screen when a case is running
• Location is reliably set when starting a new case
- Somnus waits for a GPS fix and prefers a nearby saved Location over your default
• Theatre Utilisation chart: tap any case bar to open that case; hover (iPad/Mac) to see the patient and operation details
• Today's List widget rows redesigned for clearer patient, ASA/urgency and operation details
• Watch complications formatting consistency improvements
• Swipe actions in lists no longer trigger with a full swipe, preventing accidental deletes
• Deleting a Location now clearly warns how many linked Cases and patient Identifiers will be deleted
• Fixed Case Summary Card active & booked case counts occasionally not updating
• Mac: Fixed a drag & drop crash after theatre list import; iCloud icon colour in dark mode; added Settings in the sidebar, and Pro Dashboard tile detail opening in their own window
11.2.1 Sep 15
NEW
• Merge Duplicates
- Somnus can finds items sharing a name (or a very close spelling) and merge them, moving every linked Case, Patient and note across
- Clean Up removes provably unused copies in a single tap
- A safety backup is saved automatically before anything changes
- Find it under Settings → Data Management → Merge Duplicates
• Private Cloud Compute (Pro)
- Somnus's AI features can optionally run on Apple's most capable model via Private Cloud Compute
- Theatre List Import reads the whole list in one pass - noticeably faster and more accurate on long or messy lists.
- Encrypted, never stored, never used for training.
- Off by default: opt in under Settings → Pro Features → AI Processing. Requires iOS 27.
• Hands-Free Voice Commands (Pro)
- Say "Voice command in Somnus", or use the Action button or a Shortcut
- Somnus opens already listening: "add Smoker and remove Propofol and start the timer". Requires iOS 26.
• Stop the Timer from the Lock Screen
- The case Live Activity now has a Stop button, so you can end the case timer from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island without opening Somnus.
- New Siri queries too
- "how many cases do I have today in Somnus?" answers with a glanceable card including a start/stop timer button
- "how long was my last case?" answers directly
• A Bigger Day Case List Widget
- The Day Case List widget now comes in extra-large sizes, including iOS 27's new full-height portrait size, with room for more cases at a glance
IMPROVEMENTS
• Somnus automatically detects and heals duplicate cases created by importing the same CSV on two devices, and warns you before a double import happens
• Fixes for the dashboard date selector landing on the wrong date
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when an automatic backup ran while the dashboard was loading
• Fixed rare crashes when opening charts while iCloud sync was busy in the background
• Fixed an Apple Watch crash that could occur when the app moved to the background during sync
• Improved the reliability of the dashboard summary tiles during background updates
• Support emails now automatically include the app version, device details and a small diagnostic log (never any of your patient or case data), so problems can be diagnosed and fixed much faster
• Settings: each screen's icons now carry the same colour as their parent row, making it easier to find your way around
• General polish throughout
11.2 Sep 10
FIXES
• Fixed a crash on Mac and iPad when opening patient or item editors from the Theatre List import screen
• Fixed a crash on Mac and iPad when adding a new patient from the patient selection screen
• Fixed a rare crash related to loading your locations at startup
• Fixed an issue where a subscription error alert could appear unnecessarily and interrupt a purchase in progress
• Fixed the Basic plan's subscribe button stretching to fill empty space when the plan cards appear side by side on iPad and Mac
• The Pro plan card now mentions Voice Actions - hands-free case editing by voice (requires iOS 26)
11.1.1 Aug 28
NEW
• Voice Actions (Pro Users, iOS 26+) - Hands-free case editing in theatre.
- Tap the new mic button on the dashboard and speak: "Add Diabetes", "Remove Propofol", "Swap Propofol for Sevoflurane", "Apply Gastroscopy Template", "Weight 80"
- Chain commands with "and" to do more in one hit
- Your own Personal List names work as spoken categories, imperial units are converted automatically ("12 stone 6", "six feet two"), and every action can be undone on the spot.
- Some unusual words (eg. drug names) are harder to transcribe, but it will also look at other words in the name eg "Omeprazole (Losec)" will be found if you just say 'Losec'
- Speech is transcribed entirely on-device - nothing ever leaves your device - but it does require iOS26 and above
- This will pave the way for some sophisticated Siri integration I hope to introduce when iOS27 is released
• Automatic Backups
- Somnus can now periodically save a complete backup of your logbook directly on your device as an extra safety net that works entirely without iCloud
- Cases, Photos, Searches, Settings and Patients, everything backed up
- Choose a weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule, and restore or share any kept backup from Settings → Data Management.
• iCloud Safeguards
- Somnus now detects Apple ID account changes that can empty the on-device database and explains what happened with clear recovery steps, instead of showing a silently empty app.
IMPROVEMENTS & BUG FIXES
• Label Scan (Pro) more reliably picks the patient's MRN/URN over admission or visit numbers when a label shows both, keeps letter prefixes on identifiers, and ignores OCR noise around them.
• Label Scan's AI refinement no longer starts on devices where Apple Intelligence isn't available.
• Fixed the app ignoring your chosen light/dark appearance at launch on Mac until something forced a refresh.
11.1 Aug 21
• Fixed an issue where cases imported from CSV files without a "Time of Day" column were left blank - existing affected cases are automatically repaired on first launch

• Paediatric ages no longer round up on Widgets (a child of 6 years 10 months now shows as 6y, not 7y)
• The date-range help button in All Data now opens the correct help page
11.0.11 Aug 10
• Fixed an issue where adding a map position to a new Location wouldn't 'stick'
• Fixed an issue where the 'Apple Template' menu would rebuild if the database/iCloud was syncing
• Minor UI tweaks
11.0.10 Aug 3
• The 24 Hour / 12 Hour Time Format setting now controls how times are
- displayed everywhere in Somnus - case cards, timers, pickers, charts, PDF reports and exports - instead of following your device's region setting.
• Pro Dashboard
- quarterly charts covering long ranges (3 Years, 5 Years, All Time) now label the timeline by year, so the axis stays readable instead of truncating to "..."
- quarterly bar charts now draw each bar across its full quarter in tiles, detail views and widgets
• Timers
- editing a start or end time no longer trims seconds from the recorded time
• Fixed returning users occasionally being shown the first-run iCloud check screen after a restart or background app refresh
11.0.9 Aug 1
• Fixed an issue where Timer times were not being correctly displayed in the 'Adjust Times' popup
• Fixed an issue where ID Labels & Clinical Photos might not appear in some Case Reports (PDFs)
11.0.8 Jul 26

• Improved AI ID label scan pass
- Surnames are hopefully detected far more reliably
11.0.6 Jul 20

• Upcoming-case reminders now update correctly when you complete or delete a case on another device
• The date strip no longer shows a stale "active" (pulsing red) dot after a running case is stopped on another device
• Adding an ID Label image to a case now reliably attaches it to the linked patient's identifier too, so it shows up correctly in Edit Patient view
11.0.5 Jul 18
• Pro Users
- Pro Dashboard Charts now show a date range subtitle which is included in image exports
- Watch sync status will show syncing if state is anything other than 'Idle...'
- Watch now allows creating new cases, copying & pasting case details & more.
- Theatre list importer adds "Scan Again" to re-run extraction on an already-imported document straight from the file preview, without re-picking or re-scanning it.
- The rescan nudges the on-device model toward a fresh, more careful read for a better result.
• Filtered charts now show what you searched for in the chart & exportable chart image
• Improvements to standard label scanning on first pass
• Case List Summary Widget will now show estimated list duration (if possible)
• Minor UI adjustments
• July 1 2026 Medicare RVG
11.0.4 Jul 15
New
• Pro Feature: Patients biometric data across multiple cases now have these charted against time in the Patient & Case view
• Pro Feature: Patient Report (PDF) which includes a case list summary & biometric charts if relevant.
• Custom date ranges for filtering Cases on the All Data & Pro Dashboard screens
• Apply a template with drag & drop. Drag any template straight onto a case to instantly apply its details - a faster way to set up cases you log again and again.
• Continuity Camera on Mac. Use your iPhone as a camera to photograph and scan patient ID labels directly from Somnus on your Mac.
Improvements & Fixes
• Fixed a crash that could occur while scanning and analysing an ID label
• Fixed stuck "Updating…" spinners that could linger in your case and patient lists while iCloud was syncing
• Apple Watch Case detail now shows more detail, with the ability to see & adjust timers, apply templates & more!

• Polished the "Next Case" Watch complication to match your Live Activity, with tidier borders and spacing
• Resolved a false "private patient" warning and corrected a Passwords-app detail in passcode handling
• Improvements to AI Theatre List importer based on user feedback - thank you
• General stability and reliability improvements.
11.0.3 Jul 9
• Fixed an issue where existing users upgrading to Pro would see their subscription level stuck on Basic
• Fixed an issue where the iCloud status icon would show 'Waiting...' when a sync is, in fact, occurring
• Scrolling improvements for complex case cards on Mac & iPad

• Non-Clinical Events folders and events now show a more prominent total duration at a glance
• Tapping on a Case List widget, outside of a Case, now navigates to that day on the Dashboard

- QR codes on reports for quick case access
- Copy the Link to a Case to embed anywhere you like
• Siri Shortcuts for common actions
- Open or find Cases, iterate over them and extract data
- Start the next Case or a case with a specific Template with Siri
• Spotlight search indexing for your cases (private and on-device)
- Tapping on a result takes you right to that Case
• Reports & Exports

• Improved performance, particularly on iPad and Mac Dashboards
• Data exporting progress indicators provide more status information
FIXES
• Fixed backup/memory export issue
• Fixed data race conditions in lists

10.5 May 8
• Case Cards now have tappable Specialties, Operations & Surgeons with context menus
- Add/remove them easily without opening the Case
- Drag & drop them to other cases
- Access more details via the menu
• Improved PDF file structure
- New style & layout adjustments
- Summary Reports now have charts consolidated at the end
10.4.1 Apr 29
NEW
• View Cases via more Charts
- Context menus on Charts will allow you to view filtered Case lists quickly without having to create complex searches
- eg. On the ASA Chart, jump to a list of all ASA 2E Cases via the menu
- Charts included in this: Age Range, ASA Level, Time of Day, Gender, Duration, BMI, Urgency Level & Supervision Level
• View Map Locations to the Locations Summary Cards
- This still requires you to manually add map coordinates to your own Locations in Somnus
• March Medicare RVG
IMPROVEMENTS
• Added a Supervision Level Chart on the All Data & Case List screens
• Added 'Start/Restart Timer & Keep Start Time' to Timer Button context menu on Case Cards
• On the BMI Chart, the context menu will allow you to correct any Cases that should have BMIs but don't
FIXES
• When removing the last Comorbidity from a Case Card for a patient with multiple cases, and you elect to not update their other cases, the current case ASA would not change to 1 - FIXED
• When editing a Case, changing the Patient from Specific to Generic and back again, would still show the previous Patient info - FIXED
• Exported Patient lists in CSV format, which included Personal List items, would result in a column shift error - FIXED
• Tapping on a Specialty would show Cases for all Specialties instead of the one tapped - FIXED
• When deleting a Trainee, Cases containing only that Trainee would still have a Supervision Level set - FIXED
• BMI Charts would occasionally cause an app crash when scrolled into view - FIXED
• When searching a list of Operations, the prompt/subtitle had excess padding - FIXED
• Adding a new Patient with a Label but no ID number via a Case Card context menu, it didn't display 'Unknown' - FIXED
10.4 Apr 24
Unless there are some critical bugs to fix, this will be the final update for the year from me. Thanks for the support. Paul.
NEW
• Added a 'Revert' button to selection lists
- It only appears if you have made selection changes and tapping it will reset to the original selection
- If no changes have been made you can also swipe to get rid of the list quickly, other wise this will be blocked
• Added a floating date range when searching lists bound by a date range on iPhone
- When searching the search bar would obscure this so it wasn't obvious what dates were already being filtered.
FIXES
• Fixes a bug introduced in 10.3.1 where creating a new operation when adding to a case would fail to save the case and subsequent cases until a restart of Somnus
- This was caused by a mismatch between the new operation and its specialty, due to them being in different contexts/threads.
- To protect the database, the app prevents further saves until the fault is cleared (by a restart)
• The Add Patient screen didn't appear when first attempting without a passcode and you had set a passcode - FIXED
• Changes to Patient Notes made via Case Card context menus didn't show immediately in the 'Preview View' for the Patient section - FIXED
• Search text wasn't being correctly laid out in the title section of charts when saved as images for export - FIXED
10.3.3 11/29/2025
IMPROVEMENTS
• Title & subtitles improved, including on iPad & macOS for improved Window identification
• Improved filtering when drilling down lists within date ranges
• Added a Locations Map in Settings so you can see/edit all your Locations with set GPS coordinates
• When viewing a Clinical Photo you can now enter edit mode to rotate the image as required
FIXES
• When adding to Operations or Surgeons via a single Specialty it no longer asks to choose the specialty
• Searches were not respecting date boundaries if viewing anything other than 'All Dates' on the All Data screen - FIXED
• When showing Patient lists from Comorbities or Patient Personal Lists, it would show Cases instead - FIXED
• Fixed some grammatical & spelling errors
10.3.1 11/26/2025
NEW
• Import any item via CSV files
- Import any list of items into Somnus from a standalone CSV file
- eg. Comorbidities, Personal List Items, Item Numbers, Specialties, Patients and More!
- Existing items of the same name will be updated depending on what has changed, although notes will be updated only if previously empty
- This is a useful way to quickly update notes for a list of items (eg. Medications or Drugs)
- New items will be automatically created
- Some items have additional column options (eg. Operations for Specialties, Latitude/Longitude & Provider Number for Locations)
- This makes batch importing/updating very efficient as you can create your data in Numbers/Excel or use ChatGPT to generate your lists complete with notes
- File structure information available on the Somnus website
• Export any items to a CSV file
- Export any item category list as a CSV file (excluding photos/images, Case Templates & Searches)
- Export format matches the CSV input format
• Search by Case duration
- A new option for 'Case Duration' is visible under 'Times & Locations' when editing/creating a Search
- You can select to show only Cases with a duration, no duration, or those with a duration between two times
• Exporting only Patient ID numbers for Spreadsheet Case Lists (CSV) is now an option
- This is useful if you need some way to identify the patient, whilst keeping other patient details private.
IMPROVEMENTS
• Ability to bulk remove Notes from list items (in Edit mode)
• Export progress indicator & share button now float on the Dashboard & All Data screens
• Search bars now remain visible at all times in lists
• Fixed some jitteriness of list views when attempting to view filtered Case lists

10.2.4 11/08/2025
FIXES
• Create passcode overlay didn’t immediately disappear when first attempting to add a specific patient to a case after creating a valid passcode
• Swipe to delete a case didn’t always work as expected
• Cases started with a template on the Dashboard didn’t respect the visible date as the start date
• Mac & iPad menu enhancements & new Mac help file
• Label analysis was triggered when in ‘edit mode’ for identifiers when editing a patient and you tapped on a label to select it for merge/delete
• Viewing the list of patients for a location would show all patients instead of just those that have an identifier for that location
• Label scanning logic improvements, particularly with identifier numbers inconsistently being ignored for a given label layout
• Minor UI/UX bug fixes
10.2.3 10/28/2025
FIXES/IMPROVEMENTS
• Fixed duplicated Live Activities appearing on the Lock Screen when a case is running
• Location is reliably set when starting a new case
- Somnus waits for a GPS fix and prefers a nearby saved Location over your default
• Theatre Utilisation chart: tap any case bar to open that case; hover (iPad/Mac) to see the patient and operation details
• Today's List widget rows redesigned for clearer patient, ASA/urgency and operation details
• Watch complications formatting consistency improvements
• Swipe actions in lists no longer trigger with a full swipe, preventing accidental deletes
• Deleting a Location now clearly warns how many linked Cases and patient Identifiers will be deleted
• Fixed Case Summary Card active & booked case counts occasionally not updating
• Mac: Fixed a drag & drop crash after theatre list import; iCloud icon colour in dark mode; added Settings in the sidebar, and Pro Dashboard tile detail opening in their own window
