The diary your doctor asks for — on your phone, and free forever.
Record bladder habits for two days and three nights, and bowel habits for seven days. BeDRY turns your entries into a structured summary you can share with your doctor — including measurements a specialist would otherwise calculate by hand from a paper diary.
Symptoms tell part of the story. A bladder diary adds something different: an objective look into bladder functioning. That is why bladder diaries are an established part of assessing children with bladder problems.1
Why specialists keep asking for one
Why so many come back unusable
BeDRY was built around the right-hand column. Every one of those four problems has an answer in the app.

A diary is only as useful as the data recorded. These are the things that make the difference between a sheet a doctor can use and one they cannot.
Guidance sits inside the app, at the moment you need it — how to start, what to measure, what to do about the nights, and when the diary is finished. No leaflet to lose.
Terms that families are unsure about are explained where they appear, not in a glossary at the back.

A leak is not just a leak. BeDRY asks whether it happened while awake or during sleep, and whether the child did not reach the toilet in time, leaked while laughing or coughing, or dribbled afterwards — three different findings that a paper diary usually records with the same word.
Stool is entered on the Bristol scale, with pictures, so “normal” means the same thing to the family and to the doctor.
Every leak is recorded in a structured, consistent way.
Each entry is a time, a type and a number. Nothing has to be written out, and nothing has to be reconstructed at the end of the week because the diary is in the pocket where the day happens.
A completeness bar shows how much of the two days and three nights is actually recorded, so a family knows when they are done rather than hoping.
The completeness bar shows what is still missing.
Expected bladder capacity for age, maximum voided volume, overnight urine production, fluid intake and other measures are calculated automatically from what you entered and presented in a consistent summary.
Understanding your data explains every line in plain language, so the summary is readable by the family and not only by the clinic.
Every term in the summary, explained.
I built BeDRY to automate the diary calculations I needed in practice. The digital bladder diary — the founder’s account of how and why BeDRY was built →
Every entry starts the same way — a date, a time, and one of three tabs. Urination, drinking, stool.
Urination. Volume in millilitres, whether there was a leak, urgency or no urge, and a note if something is worth remembering.
Drinking. How much, and what kind. Drinks that tend to irritate the bladder are flagged, with the list built in.
Stool. The validated Bristol scale, with pictures and plain descriptions instead of a number to guess at.
Bladder and bowel are one system — which is why the stool diary is not a separate app.
Once enough data have been recorded, BeDRY calculates the key diary measurements and organizes them into a consistent summary. No spreadsheet, calculator or transcription from paper is needed.
Raw observations become structured data — in the same layout, in the same units, every time.
Bladder capacity, overnight urine production and the drinking pattern behind them.
Leaks by type, urgency, stool — then the same numbers day by day.
The summary describes what was recorded. It is not a diagnosis, and it does not replace assessment by your doctor.
Complete the diary at home and share the structured summary directly with your doctor. You remain in control of access and can stop sharing at any time.
Open a shared diary from the email link, or sign in to the BeDRY web app to see every diary shared with you. The measurements are already calculated and organized, so you can spend the appointment interpreting the data rather than reconstructing it.
“BeDRY’s digital diary grew out of my work as a pediatric nephrologist. I use it with patients in my own clinical practice.”

Record urination, drinking and wetting accurately.
Capture overnight urine production and the first morning void.
Continue stool recording long enough to see the bowel pattern.

You are not paying BeDRY to get your own data back. You pay only if you want BeDRY to do more with it.
The Diary records what is actually happening and turns it into a structured summary. You can stop here, share the summary with your doctor, and never pay BeDRY anything.
Combines the diary with your answers about symptoms and turns them into a clearer picture of bladder and bowel habits.
How Checkpoint worksUses those findings to build a practical plan for drinking, toilet habits and bowel routines, while Trends helps you follow change over time.
