The Best Medication Tracker I’ve Ever Used
Cadence is, hands down, the best medication tracker I’ve found. It’s thoughtfully designed, incredibly easy to use, and has become part of my daily routine without ever feeling like another chore.
I love that I can track both my scheduled medications and my as-needed medications with just a tap. It also keeps track of individual dosages and shows me exactly when I last took each medication, which has been incredibly helpful.
One of my favorite features is the daily reflections. They can be as simple as logging your mood and energy level, or you can spend another few seconds adding one good thing, one challenge, and what shaped your day. It takes less than 20 seconds, but over time it creates a much more complete picture alongside your medication history. The calendar view also makes it easy to see at a glance whether you’ve taken your medications, logged symptoms, or completed your reflections.
As someone with AuDHD, my favorite thing is that I was able to set everything up once and then just let the app do its job. It works quietly in the background, and I don’t have to constantly think about managing it.
I also really appreciate that Cadence is a one-time purchase instead of another subscription. For $9.99, you own it for life. Your data stays on your device, and the app doesn’t collect your personal information. Even better, there’s a free trial so you can experience all of the features before deciding whether to buy.
My only suggestion would be a few more widget options. The current widgets work well, but I’d love to see more customization in the future. That said, it’s a very small wish for an app that absolutely earns five stars.
If you’re looking for a medication tracker that’s private, thoughtfully designed, and genuinely helpful, I can’t recommend Cadence enough.

Wow, so nice to read your review! Very happy that you are finding the app useful. I will explore adding more widgets in a future update. Thanks again! :)
Don’t waste your money
Every time I try to scan a label it just sits there like a three year old waiting for you to give it food. When you finally put a new bottle on n front of it, magically it decides to recognize it as the bottle you had been waiting for previously. However, you can’t be certain if it’s going to import all the correct dosage information for the container you just had. The trick here is scanning bottles so you don’t have to enter information manually, otherwise it’s no different than any other app in the field, and at the moment, it’s not better than any of them. If I could get a refund I would.

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. Improving the scanning feature is something I’m actively working on, and notes like yours help. If you have specific suggestions, the in-app feature request form is the best way to get them to me directly. For what it’s worth the core app stays free for life, including all logging and tracking, and the Pro trial (7days) is built in so the insights features can be tested before paying. If the app is not the right fit for you despite testing it and then purchasing Pro, Apple can process a refund directly. All the best.
The Cadence App Creates a Healthy Daily Rhythm
Cadence is easily one of the best-designed medication reminder apps I’ve ever used. The interface is clean, modern, intuitive, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. You can tell a huge amount of thought and care went into both the UI and the overall user experience.
What really impressed me is how feature-rich the app is without ever feeling cluttered or overwhelming. Medication scheduling is flexible, reminders are reliable, and the Apple Health integration is fantastic. I also love the privacy-first approach with no unnecessary accounts or subscriptions pushed on you.
The prescription label scanning, lock screen actions, Apple Watch support, and insightful health tracking make this app feel incredibly polished and premium. It solves a real problem in a smart and elegant way.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants a medication reminder app that is both powerful and beautifully designed. Absolutely deserving of five stars!
I just bought an Apple Watch 10. I can't wait to integrate this fantastic app Cadence with my new (first one) Apple Watch.

Thank you very much for a lovely review. Glad to hear you find the app useful :)
Fantastic developer support, now an absolute 5-star app!
I originally left a critical review because of several issues, but I’m honestly impressed by how quickly everything was fixed. The developer responded incredibly fast and resolved all the problems I mentioned.
The app is now much cleaner, more organized, and far easier to navigate. The widgets work perfectly now on both the home screen and lock screen, which makes a huge difference in daily use. I also absolutely love the “arriving home” reminder feature.
One small feature request I’d still love to see: in the calendar view, it would be great to have a small red dot or marker on days where I logged medications taken as needed, like Aspirin. That way you could quickly see how often you took certain medications during the month.
Overall though, this app has become an absolute recommendation from me. Great app, fantastic support, and a developer who truly listens to feedback.
