Take it.
On time.
Every time.
Say how much you take, photograph the box, and set how long the course runs. Then it keeps asking until you've actually taken it.
What it records
Four questions, then it leaves you alone
How much
Amount and unit — two capsules, one package, 500 mg — plus the strength printed on the box.
What it looks like
A photo of the medicine. No shape pickers, no colour swatches: you have the box in your hand.
How often a day
Any number of times, at any times. One tap for the usual 1×–4× patterns.
How long
A start date and a length — or just say how many you have and it works the rest out.
The point of it
One notification is a suggestion
A single alert at eight in the morning is something you can swipe away half-asleep and never think about again. Dose Reminder sends it again ten minutes later, and again, up to twelve times, and stops the moment you tap Taken — straight from the notification, without opening the app.
It can also warn you beforehand, so there's time to get to the cupboard: “Amoxicillin in 15 minutes.”
It uses its own chime rather than the stock alert sound, so a medication reminder doesn't sound like everything else on the phone.
Privacy
Your medication list never leaves your phone
There is no account to make and no server to send anything to. Everything — what you take, when you took it, the photos — is written as a single AES-256-GCM encrypted file on the device, under a key that is generated on that phone and excluded from iCloud and from backups.
The app makes no network requests at all. This website is the only part that touches the internet, and it is a static page that collects nothing. Read the privacy policy.
Getting it off again
Encrypted backup, when you choose
Because nothing syncs, an export is the only way onto a new phone. It is encrypted under a passphrase you choose — separate from the device key, which by design can never leave. Save it to Files or share it anywhere; without the passphrase it is noise.
