The Best Case Log Apps for Residents in 2027: A Comparison of Capability, Case-Text Handling and Cost

Compares five phone case log apps a resident can choose (Capnolog, Anesto, RVU Edge, UNIRA, Follie) on counting against the ACGME minimums, help reaching the ACGME Case Log form, handling of free-text case detail, platforms, specialty coverage and the cost of one resident-year, from each app's public pages checked October 30, 2026; the ACGME Case Log System, ABOS KSB+, New Innovations and MedHub are described but not ranked. Anesto costs least for anesthesiology residents; Capnolog is the only app that counts against the minimums, helps a case reach the ACGME form, and keeps case text away from third-party language models; RVU Edge covers the most surgical specialties. The ACGME does not endorse any data collection product. Competing interests: the author makes Capnolog.
