Brief is a medicine tracker for the person who manages someone else's medicines — an aging parent, a partner, a child — and for keeping track of your own.
Every dose goes on the record with one tap. Reminders follow the prescription, readings sit beside the medicines, and before a visit Brief turns the record into one page a doctor can read in a minute.
— THE DAY —
• A reminder for each dose; answer from the notification: Taken, Skip, or remind me in 15 minutes
• Not answered? One follow-up 30 minutes later (you can turn it off)
• Ring like an alarm, even on silent or in a Focus, for the medicines you choose
• Forgot to tap? Open any day of the week and set it straight
— SCHEDULES THAT MATCH THE PRESCRIPTION —
• Every day or certain weekdays, every other day or every few days, weekly or every few weeks
• A course with an end date: reminders stop when it ends. As-needed medicines too
• A day a medicine isn't due never counts as missed
— EVERY MEDICINE —
• Tablet, oval tablet, capsule, softgel, liquid, injection, drops, inhaler or patch, each with its own 3D icon; names suggested as you type
• How many are left, and how long the supply lasts
• Skip a dose and say why; the reason goes on the doctor's page
— READINGS —
• Blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, heart rate, temperature and oxygen, each on its own chart, in lb or kg, °F or °C, mg/dL or mmol/L
• Typed in by you. Brief measures nothing and judges nothing.
— THE DOCTOR'S PAGE —
• One page (PDF): doses taken and missed, each medicine and its schedule, readings as small charts, your questions — marked as a record you kept, not medical advice
• Appointments, doctors, documents and a checklist the day before
• With Apple Intelligence: paste or scan an after-visit summary and read it in plain English, on the device
— A BACKUP YOU KEEP —
• Your whole record in one file, encrypted with a passphrase you choose, saved where you choose
• Restore it on a new or reinstalled iPhone (it replaces what's there). Without the passphrase the file can't be opened, so keep it safe.
— APPLE WATCH —
• Answer reminders on your wrist: Taken, Remind me or Skip
• Today's doses with one-tap Taken, and the next dose on a complication
— PRIVATE BY DESIGN —
No account, no ads, no server. Brief never uploads anything: what you enter stays on your iPhone and leaves only when you share, print, export or save a backup.
