Read from each app's own pages on October 4, 2026. A “no” means the listing does not describe the feature. Apps change, so check before you choose.

The apps on this page, and the others surgeons use

Each fact is what the app's own listing, site, or policy says.

  • ACGME Case Logs

    The ACGME's own Case Log System, on the web and in the ACGME Case Logs app for iPhone and Android. It is the system of record, so what you enter there is submitted.

  • UNIRA

    An iPhone app for surgeons with case logging by CPT code, operative notes, and case prep. It imports ACS Surgeon Specific Registry exports and spreadsheets, and exports per-CPT breakdowns for boards and the ACGME.

  • RVU Edge

    A case and wRVU tracker for a whole career, on iPhone and Android. It searches CPT codes and tracks ACGME case categories for 14 surgical specialties. Its data stays on the device rather than in a cloud, and it exports PDF, Excel, and CSV. Its site describes a Chrome extension that fills board portal forms.

  • ABOS KSB+

    The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery's app. Orthopaedic residents in participating programs enter their ACGME Case Logs through it, and residents sitting ABOS Part I from July 2026 must take part.
