Pill Reminder

What Pill Reminder is for

Pill Reminder is a medication reminder and tracker for Android. The developer aims it at people who take daily vitamins, prescriptions, or medicines for someone else, such as an elderly parent or a child.

Its core job is to make sure each dose is taken at the right time. Each medicine is stored with its own schedule, and the app sends a notification when a dose is due.

Setting up each medicine and its dosing plan

Each medicine is saved with a name, dosage, type, frequency and timing. The type field covers tablets, capsules, liquids and other forms, so the same app can handle a mix of pills and syrups.

A medicine can be given a start date and an end date, which suits a course of antibiotics or a treatment with a set length. Several medicines can be added to one profile and run on their own schedules at the same time.

Reminders, the daily schedule and routine tracking

Reminders are personalised to each medicine and arrive as notifications, so the alert comes at the time set for that dose. The daily schedule view lists the doses due on a given day in one place.

The listing also describes simple routine insights that show how a person's medication routine is going over time. The developer does not say which measures these insights use.

Adding a medicine from the after-call screen

The after-call screen lets a user add a medicine and set its reminder straight from the screen that appears after a phone call. This avoids opening the app separately when a doctor or pharmacist mentions a new prescription on the phone.
