## What is Dose Timer?

Stop wondering "when did I take that?"

Dose Timer is a countdown app for as-needed (PRN) medicines — headache pills, fever reducers, stomach medicine. Log a dose with one tap, and see exactly when you can take the next one. No more staring at the clock in the middle of the night.

■ One-tap logging
Tap "Taken" and a dose log is recorded at the current time — the countdown starts instantly (with a 5-second Undo in case you tap by mistake).

■ Know what's next, at a glance
"2h 15m left" or "Interval has passed" — based on the interval you set, the current state is always clear at a glance.

■ Daily limit, at a glance
See how many times you've taken a dose today (e.g. "2/4 today"). Once you hit your limit, the app shows "Today's limit reached."

■ Editable history
Forgot to log a dose right away? Add a past dose with a specific time, and edit or delete any entry. Everything is organized by day.

■ Optional interval-elapsed notifications
A quiet local notification you can turn on or off per medicine. It only says "the interval has passed" — it never tells you to take anything.

■ Track medicines separately — including your kids'
Add multiple medicines to track your own headache pills and your child's fever reducer separately (up to 2 free).

■ Home & Lock Screen widgets (Medicine Pass)
Keep a live countdown ring for your chosen medicine on the Home or Lock Screen, and log a dose right from the widget — without opening the app.

■ iCloud sync
Your medicines and dose logs carry over across devices and reinstalls via iCloud.

――――――――――
Please read before you rely on this app
――――――――――
This app has no built-in knowledge of medicines. You enter the dosing interval and daily limit yourself, based on the package instructions or your doctor's/pharmacist's guidance. The app only records your input and calculates estimates from it — it does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or dosing instructions. Always follow the package insert and your doctor's or pharmacist's directions for dosage and usage.

Pricing
――――――――――
Track up to 2 medicines for free. Adding a 3rd medicine, Home/Lock Screen widgets, and CSV export of your dose logs require Medicine Pass — a one-time purchase (¥500 in Japan; price shown in your local currency at checkout), not a subscription.
Optional tips to support development are also available (Coffee / Good Burger / Dinner, all consumable, priced at roughly ¥500 / ¥1,500 / ¥5,000). All core features work the same whether or not you purchase anything.
