Universal Logbook is a universally customisable iPhone / iPad / Apple watch logbook for rapidly recording any data on the go. Initially designed for medical trainees it is now in use by many non-medical users including mountaineering, kayaking, equipment repairing, Search and rescue to name a few.
Universal logbook differs from other logbooks in that the customisation is stored in a separate plugin file. Simply by activating a plugin, the logbook transforms, including colours, menus and field types. Furthermore, the top level selection menu uses a unique hierarchical picker wheel to quickly find and select the appropriate title item even if the menu structure has thousands of items.

Its been over 20 years since I wrote the original electronic logbook for radiology trainees and 9 years since release of the Universal Logbook for iPhone/ iPad. Over this time I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all those trainees of all specialties who have supported and helped develop the Universal Logbook. Thanks also go to the many non-medical users.
Development continues on a non-profit basis. Just email me if you think of any good functionality.
There are no subscriptions or in-app purchases. Once bought its your logbook for life.
