Your companion through the long middle of burn recovery. Keep track of your compression garment, scar massage, and daily care in one place.
Salve keeps everything on this device. There is no account and no server, so nothing is uploaded.
Set your injury or surgery date in Milestones to start counting.
Add Salve to your home screen. It opens full-screen and works without a connection.
Still here. Still healing.
Photograph healing over time. Photos are stored only on this device and nothing is uploaded. You can share one yourself whenever you want to, and they never appear on a milestone card.

Links open the organization's own site or phone line, so the details are always current.
Salve is a self-management companion, not medical advice. Always follow the wound care, garment, and therapy instructions given by your burn care team. If a wound shows signs of infection, contact your care team immediately.
Tap Start wearing when your garment goes on, and Pause when it comes off. Salve adds up the time and compares it to your daily goal. It keeps counting even after you close the app.
It counts how many of the last 30 days you reached your daily wear goal. A missed day is simply not counted and drops out of the window after 30 days, so the number never jumps to zero. Days marked estimated do not count until you correct them. Some days the garment has to come off, and that is fine.
Each completed session adds one to today's count and to your lifetime total. The timer length is just a default you can change in Settings.
From the injury or surgery date you set, Salve counts the days and marks the common milestones. The numbers are yours to keep.
Everything is stored on this device. Open Settings to export a backup you can save or move to a new phone.
On Milestones, the last five weeks show as small squares and the last seven days as bars, both shaded by how much of your daily goal you wore. Empty days stay neutral, never marked in red.
Tap New on a garment when you start a fresh one, and Salve counts the days since. Compression fades with wear, so it is a reminder to check in with your care team about replacing it, not a fixed schedule.
Yes. Use the minus and plus buttons to adjust today's wear time if you forgot to tap Start or Pause, and the small plus or minus by the massage log to add or remove a session. Nothing is locked in. To fix an earlier day, tap it on the Milestones heatmap.
Salve has no account and no server. Your timers, journal photos, and notes are kept on this device and the app never uploads them. A backup or photo you choose to share goes only where you send it.
Everyone's recovery is different, so the best answers come from your own burn team. Here are good questions to bring to your next visit.
The hardest part of burn recovery is often the long middle, after the hospital, when progress is slow and mostly invisible. Wearing a garment for months and doing daily massage is quiet, tiring work.
Plateaus and hard days are common. If you want to talk with someone who has been through it, Phoenix Society runs peer support for burn survivors, and the Support tab lists organizations for your region.
