Everlocal — A Bespoke Notes App for Chiropractic Clinics
How one Sydney chiropractor’s frustration with rising software costs became a purpose-built, fully owned platform with near-zero running costs.
The Problem
Our client — a solo chiropractor in Sydney — had used Evernote for years to manage patient notes, SOAP records, and appointment reminders. Then Evernote reached out directly, informing the client that their account would be moved to the Enterprise plan — a significantly more expensive tier designed for large organisations, not a single-practitioner clinic. Paying enterprise-level pricing for a general-purpose tool packed with AI features they had no use for made no commercial sense.
The deeper problem was data lock-in. Years of patient notes, treatment records, and tagged notebooks sat inside Evernote — exporting and manually reformatting that data was hours of work the clinic simply couldn’t afford.
The Solution
We built Everlocal — a purpose-built notes application for this chiropractic clinic. At its core: a one-click Evernote import that migrated all notebooks, tags, and rich-text formatting without any manual reformatting.
Beyond migration, Everlocal was built to match the workflows chiropractors actually use. The full feature set includes rich text editing, PDF and image attachments, SOAP note templates, patient-linked notebooks, appointment-tagged entries, and cross-device sync — with all data stored securely in a private AWS S3 bucket. AWS Cognito handles authentication and two-factor security for patient data compliance. The platform was delivered in 60 days and runs at under $5 per month in AWS infrastructure costs.
Outcomes

- Complete one-click Evernote import — notebooks, tags, and rich-text formatting preserved
- PDF and image attachment support built in from day one

- AWS Cognito 2FA authentication for patient data security
- Chiropractic-specific templates: SOAP notes, patient-linked notebooks, appointment tags
