Exploring with demo data

Starting from a blank app can be hard. You don't yet know what a feeding log looks like once it has a week of entries, or how the Handoff packet reads when there's real activity behind it. Demo data fixes that.

When you load a demo profile, CareHaven adds a fully filled-in sample person alongside your own that you can poke around freely. Your own Persons and everything logged under them are never edited or deleted by a demo — you remove the demo whenever you're done. (Contacts are the one thing the two can share — more on that below.) Available

What you get

Demo mode loads sample profiles already filled with activity across the whole app — the most recent two weeks are the richest, with lighter history reaching back about four months. The richest of them is a sample person named Zoe.

Because Zoe already has history, you can open almost anything and see it the way it looks in real use:

• Daily logs with real entries — feedings, sleep, behavior, check-ins, and more
• A populated Home screen, including the Day Shape view and at-a-glance briefing cards
• Goals, milestones, cues, and other Advocacy content
• Medical records like vitals, doctor visits, and medications
• A Handoff packet that reads like a real one because there's real activity behind it
• Reports with actual data to fill them out

It's the fastest way to understand what each feature is for. Tap into anything that catches your eye, read how it's set up, and get a feel for the app before you put in a single thing of your own.

How to load it

You'll find demo data in Settings.

1. Tap the menu icon (top left) to open the menu, then tap Settings.
2. Tap About & Help, find the Demo section, then tap Load Demo Profile.
3. In the Pick a demo profile sheet, tap a profile (for example, Zoe), then tap Done.

The sample profile is added, and you can explore right away. If it isn't already the one on screen, tap the colored profile pill at the top and choose it from Profiles.

You can also reach for a sample person from the very first Welcome screen — tap Skip for now there, then Try with a demo profile — so you can look around before you ever set up your own profile. See Setting up for the first time for that path.

Your real data is safe

This is the part worth slowing down on, because it's easy to worry about.

Adding a demo profile does not erase, edit, or delete anything of your own. Your real Persons and every entry under them stay exactly as they are, active and untouched, the whole time a demo profile also sits on the device. Removing the demo doesn't "bring back" your data, because it was never moved in the first place.

The one thing the two can share is Contacts. If a demo's cast — its "Mom," "Dad," "Dr. Patel," and so on — matches a name already in your own Contacts list, CareHaven reuses that real contact for the demo instead of inventing a separate fictional one, so it stays exactly as editable as any other contact of yours, right from your Contacts list, the whole time. If the demo's cast doesn't match anyone you already have, it adds a new contact — and that one can stick around in your Contacts list even after you remove the demo. It's easy to delete from there if you'd rather it not stay.

So there's very little risk in trying it. Explore as much as you like, then remove the demo profile — your own profiles are exactly as they were the entire time.

Removing the demo data

To clear the sample profile and return to your own data:

1. Tap the menu icon (top left), then tap Settings.
2. Tap About & Help, find the Demo section, then tap Remove Demo Profile (if you've loaded more than one demo, this row instead reads Remove All Demo Profiles (N) and clears every demo at once).
3. Confirm Remove demos.

The demo profile disappears and your real profiles are exactly as you left them.

Demo data stays on your phone

The sample person is just for you to look at. It's local practice data, so it isn't shared the way your real care data can be:

• It does not sync to anyone you've shared care with. If you've invited a co-caregiver, the demo person never shows up on their device. (See Sharing care with others.)
• It is not mirrored to your Apple Calendar. The sample appointments stay inside the demo, so nothing fake lands on your real calendar.

That keeps the line clean between what's pretend and what's real. The demo is yours alone to explore, and it never touches the people or calendars in your actual life.

A good place to start

If you're brand new, a calm first hour looks like this: load demo data, wander through the Home screen, open a few logs to see how entries read, then take a look at a Handoff and a Care Report. When you're ready to begin for real, remove the demo profile and set up your own person in first-run setup.
