With medication management you keep track of your intakes: you record each medication with its dosage and intake schedule, check off every due dose, and get reminded to reorder in time. Whether a medication is taken daily, only on certain weekdays, monthly, on a fixed day or hour interval, or simply as needed – the app reflects your plan and automatically keeps track of stock and remaining supply.
Open the Medications list and tap the plus button (+) to add a new medication. The only required field is the name – everything else can be filled in as needed. To edit or delete a medication later, simply tap it in the list.
In the form you can set:
By default you record the dosage using the familiar morning – noon – evening scheme. For each time of day, enter how many tablets you take. You can also enter fractions such as 0.5. Leave any time of day at which you take nothing at 0.
Example: 1 – 0 – 0.5 means one tablet in the morning and half a tablet in the evening. In the overview this dosage is shown compactly as 1 - 0 - 0.5.
Each time of day has a fixed default time (morning 08:00, noon 12:00, evening 18:00). These determine when a dose becomes due and when a reminder is sent. Custom times and up to two additional slots are available in expert mode.
The intake schedule defines on which days the medication is taken:
Two further schedules are available in expert mode:
Use the Expert mode switch to unlock advanced options when the simple scheme isn’t enough:
Expert mode only changes the input form; your existing doses are kept. You can switch it off again at any time.
When you enable the As needed switch, you can record intakes that are not part of a fixed plan – for example a painkiller taken as needed or an extra unit on top of a fixed dosage. A fixed dosage is optional here: you can combine “as needed” with a fixed schedule, or keep a medication purely as needed (in which case all slot doses stay 0).
Via Record an as-needed intake you enter how many units you took. This amount is deducted from the stock, so irregular intakes are also reflected correctly in the remaining supply.
On the home screen the “Next intake” tile shows the currently due doses as soon as their time is reached – each with the number of tablets and the time. Tap “Taken” once you’ve taken a dose; it then disappears from the list.
If a due dose is still open after a short grace period, it is highlighted in red as “Overdue” – so you can see at a glance what you should catch up on. Overdue doses stay in the tile until you check them off.
In the Settings you can also enable “Show next dose in advance”. The tile then shows the next upcoming dose even when nothing (more) is due today – handy for infrequent schedules. For daily intake, tomorrow’s dose is deliberately not shown in advance, so the tile isn’t permanently filled.
In a medication’s detail view, the “Intake history” section shows the last 10 scheduled doses. For each dose you can see whether it was taken, missed (time passed without being checked off) or still open.
Using the checkmark you can correct entries in both directions – mark a dose as “taken after all” later on, or unmark one checked off by mistake as “not taken after all”. The stock is adjusted automatically.
Note: the history is only kept when “Track intake” is enabled for the medication.
Enter the pack size and the current stock (tablets on hand). The stock is counted down automatically with every scheduled intake and every as-needed intake. You can also set it manually at any time, for instance after opening a new pack.
Below the stock the app shows the remaining supply – “Lasts until …”, or “Supply used up” when nothing is left. When the supply lasts only about a week or less, the “Reorder medication” tile on the home screen reminds you in time to get more before you run out.
You can be reminded by push notification at each intake time. You’ll find the “Medication reminders” switch in the Settings. At the due time the app notifies you with “Time for your intake”; tapping the notification opens the matching medication directly.
