## What is Backbrain?

Backbrain is a medication tracker built for ADHD adults who keep forgetting the pill they're meant to take so they don't forget everything else.

Three fields to set up. One tap to log. If you miss a dose, the person you trust gets a single push notification. They text or call. The app stays out of the way.


WHAT BACKBRAIN DOES

- Reminds you to take your medication on the schedule you set
- Tracks streaks, on-time percentages and a 30-day pattern at a glance
- Pairs with a "backbrain" partner who gets one nudge if you miss a dose
- Generates a clean subscription statement for reimbursement schemes
- Works fully offline. Your medication data never leaves your device.


HOW IT WORKS

1. Open the app, tell it what you take and when. Three questions, under thirty seconds.
2. Reminder fires at your scheduled time. Tap the orb. Logged. Streak ticks up.
3. Miss the window? Your backbrain partner gets one push: "[Your name] missed a dose. Check in on them?" You take the dose. Streak intact.


PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Your medications, schedules, dose history and streaks are stored only on your phone. They are never uploaded to any server. The single fact our backend ever sees is whether you logged a dose within its window. Yes or no. No medication names. No doses. No exceptions.

Apple Sign-In is optional and only needed if you want to recover your partnerships on a new device. The app works fully anonymously by default.


THE BACKBRAIN PARTNER

Pair with one person you trust. A partner, parent, friend, sibling. They install Backbrain free and never pay. When you miss a dose, they get one push containing your name and nothing else. No medication. No timeline. They text or call from there. Off-platform, the way trust actually works. Either party can end the partnership any time.


PRICING

- Free: one medication, full reminders, full streaks and history. Be a backbrain for up to four people.
- Pro: $24.99 per year. Unlimited medications, your own backbrain partner, subscription statement export.
- Family: $39.99 per year. Everything in Pro plus household profiles, up to four partners and the ability to sponsor family members onto Pro features.


NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE

Backbrain is a habit-support tool. It is not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice. Always follow your prescribing clinician's instructions and never adjust medication based on what an app tells you.
