## What is Dose Pop?

Dose Pop is the simplest way to remember your medications. It is designed to be clear and easy, especially for older adults and anyone who wants a simple pill reminder.

Add your medications in seconds, get reminded at the right time, and tap once to mark a dose as taken. That’s it.

WHY DOSE POP
• Big, readable text and large touch targets that are easy on the eyes and easy to tap
• No sign up, no account, no ads, no tracking
• Private by default. Your medicines stay on your device unless you choose to share with family

REMINDERS THAT WORK
• Time Sensitive notifications that can break through Focus
• Right from the reminder: “I Took It,” “Snooze,” or “Skip”
• A follow up alert if a dose is missed, after a grace period you choose
• Sound on Silent option: with your permission, dose reminders and missed dose alerts can play even when the phone is muted, so a silent switch never means a missed dose

EASY TO SET UP
• Search real medication names from trusted drug databases (RxNorm and openFDA)
• Flexible schedules: daily, twice daily, three times daily, every other day, weekly, or as needed
• Color code each medication to tell them apart at a glance

STAY ON TRACK
• A clear “Today” view of every dose, marked with a single tap
• History and adherence so you can see how you’re doing
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that show your doses at a glance

CAREGIVER ALERTS, IF YOU WANT THEM
• Sharing is off until you turn it on. You choose one family member or helper
• They see the names of your medicines and whether you took each dose. Your dosages are never shown
• They get an email only if a dose looks missed, after your grace period
• You can stop sharing any time, and the link they were sent stops working

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No accounts and no advertising
• Your medicines stay on your device and in your own iCloud. Nothing is shared until you turn on Caregiver Alerts and pick who sees it
• When you do share, we send only medicine names and whether a dose was taken, so a caregiver can help. We never send your dosages

Dose Pop is a reminder and tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice; always follow your doctor’s and pharmacist’s instructions.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.1 — 2026-08-11

Weekly medications can now remind you on the exact days you choose. Pick any mix of weekdays, like Monday, Wednesday and Friday, right in the schedule picker.

This update also makes reminders and history more dependable when you edit reminder times, pause and resume medicines, restore backups, or use Dose Pop on more than one device. Caregiver alerts got the same care, so the people you share with can trust what they see.

Also improved: clearer supply amounts, safer medication deletes, and a smoother first time setup.

### 1.7 — 2026-08-01

Custom dosing intervals are here. If your medicine is every 3 days, every 17 days, or every 6 weeks, DosePop now reminds you on exactly the right days.

Your schedule now stays put when you travel. Dose days no longer shift when you cross time zones, and reminders keep firing on the days your doctor intended.

Rock solid reminders on big regimens. DosePop now plans every notification inside the limit iOS enforces, so people taking many medicines never lose a reminder to a system cap.

Reliability fixes throughout: safer saving when editing a medicine, smarter cleanup when a medicine is removed on another device, and a keyboard that gets out of your way.

### 1.6 — 2026-07-17

Sound on Silent is here. If you want it, your dose reminders and missed dose alerts can now play a sound even when your iPhone is on silent or in a Focus. Apple approved Dose Pop for Critical Alerts, which are reserved for health apps like this one.

You choose whether to turn it on, and you choose the volume. Only dose reminders and missed dose alerts use it. Everything else stays quiet as usual.

### 1.5 — 2026-07-13

Caregiver Alerts are here. If you want a little backup, you can invite one family member or helper to keep an eye on your doses.

• Sharing is off until you turn it on, and you pick exactly who sees it
• They see the names of your medicines and whether you took each dose. Your dosages are never shown
• They get an email only if a dose looks missed, after the grace period you choose
• You can stop sharing any time

Everything else stays simple and private. Thank you for using Dose Pop.

### 1.4 — 2026-07-09

Two new ways Dose Pop looks out for you.

Refill reminders: tell Dose Pop how many doses you have and it counts down as you take them, then reminds you to refill before you run out.

Same medicine check: if a medicine you add contains the same ingredient as one you already take, Dose Pop asks first so you never double up by accident.

Plus small improvements that keep your reminders reliable.
