Storage & backup

Your records stay on your device.

FosterLog works offline and does not require a cloud account for care records. The app contains no adverts.

Read the FosterLog privacy policy
Local records
Care records are stored locally. ORAV Forge does not have remote access to your FosterLog database, and version 1 does not provide cloud sync.
Optional app lock
Use the app-lock options available on your device alongside a strong device passcode.
Backups and exports
You control backups, restore files and shared reports. Keep them in a suitable location and follow your agency’s rules for storing and sharing sensitive records.
Before changing devices
Make and retain a backup. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data can remove local records. Check restore compatibility before moving between Android and iPhone.

Free & Premium

Start with one child profile.

Both Android and iPhone offer a free version and an optional one-time Premium purchase.

Free

One child profile

The free version lets you keep a child’s diary entries organised in one place. No recurring subscription.

Premium

Unlimited child profiles

A one-time purchase in the app unlocks unlimited profiles and additional Premium features. Check the upgrade screen for the features and price on your device.

Premium is not a subscription. Purchases are tied to the store and platform used: Google Play purchases do not automatically transfer to the App Store, or vice versa.

Android Insights and report features

The Android release information includes custom date-range reports and Insights for reviewing diary activity. Premium Insights adds category and child activity summaries. For iPhone, check the app’s upgrade screen for the features included on your device.

Common questions

Before you start

For anything else, contact support.

Who is FosterLog for?

FosterLog is designed for adult foster carers who want to keep daily care notes, observations, incidents and positive moments organised.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes. FosterLog is offline-first and stores your care records on your device. Store downloads and purchases require access to the relevant app store.

Can I use the same records on Android and iPhone?

FosterLog version 1 does not provide cloud sync. Do not assume backups transfer between platforms; contact support about compatibility before changing devices. Premium purchases also remain tied to the store used.

Which devices and countries are supported?

FosterLog is available on Google Play for Android phones and tablets, and on the App Store for iPhone. The iPhone launch covers the UK, US, Ireland, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Check the relevant store listing for your device’s current compatibility and local availability.

Can I use it instead of my agency’s system?

No. Continue to follow the recording, reporting and safeguarding requirements set by your fostering agency or local authority. Check with them before using a separate app for care information.
