Most of what a doctor says is gone by the time you reach the car. The After Note is your own record of an appointment — in plain English, built for what you actually need: what happened, the plan, what to do next, what to ask. It takes about a minute, it stays on your device, and it’s yours to keep.
Free. No account needed to make one. Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to save it.
You don’t need every detail — utility beats completeness. Answer what you can, in your own words. The rest can stay blank.
Right after a visit is the best time — while it’s fresh. Type in plain language; this is your record, not a medical chart.
Private by design. Your After Note is built right here in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, saved to a server, or seen by anyone — until you choose to keep it in your ComfortCard. This is your personal record of what you understood; it is not a medical record and not medical advice, and it doesn’t replace your clinician’s written instructions.
Most after-visit summaries are written for the record, not for you. The After Note keeps the four things that actually help, and nothing that doesn’t.
A faithful transcript of everything said is not what you need at 2 p.m. in a parking lot. You need what it meant and what to do. That’s all the After Note keeps.
Make one →One minute, on your phone, while it’s fresh. It lives in your ComfortCard alongside your wishes and documents — one identity, every layer of care.
See the card →Keep it in your card and it’s sealed with a tamper-evident fingerprint, so you — or a family member — can prove what it said and when.
How proof works →The eldest daughter keeping the binder, the proxy, the sibling two states away — hand them the same clear note instead of a guess.
See the whole path →Open the After Note while it’s fresh. Type what you remember — the news, the plan, what you need to do. Skip anything you’re unsure of.
It assembles a plain-English note: what happened, the plan, a checklist of next steps, your open questions, and anything to watch for.
Save it as a PDF, copy it, or keep it in your ComfortCard so it’s with your documents and proxy when the next appointment comes.
Every appointment leaves a trail — decisions, documents, follow-ups. ComfortCard holds them in one place, owned by you, resourced to your local co-op.
Values, a proxy, and directives — the conversation that comes before the crisis.
caregoals.com →Neighbors and caregivers who are member-owners, not gig contractors — with a physician behind them.
co-op.care →See what your care could qualify for — a physician’s letter can make companion care HSA/FSA-eligible.
What you qualify for →The After Note records a visit. The Legacy letter records a life — your words for the people you love, kept with your card.
Write your legacy letter →No. It doesn’t listen to or record your appointment — that’s the clinician’s scribe, and recording a visit raises real consent and privacy questions. The After Note is yours: you write down what you understood, and it shapes it into a record you can actually use. You’re the one in the room; you’re the best record of what mattered to you.
Yes. Your note is built entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored on a server, or seen by anyone unless you choose to keep it in your ComfortCard. If you just print or copy it, it never leaves your device.
No. It is your personal record of what you understood — helpful for remembering, sharing with family, and preparing for the next visit. It does not replace your clinician’s written instructions, and it isn’t medical or legal advice. When in doubt, follow what your care team gave you and ask them.
Nothing. Making an After Note is free and needs no account. ComfortCard is the free membership that keeps your notes, documents, and wishes together in one place — and connects you to care, with a physician behind it, when you need it.
The honest answer: today it’s a guided note you fill in about a minute, because that ships real value now without recording anyone. Easier capture is something we’re working on — carefully, and on your terms.
