## What is MedBox?

MedBox — medication reminders built for seniors and their families.

WHY MEDBOX
• Large type and high contrast, designed for older eyes
• Alarm-grade reminders that break through Silent and Focus modes (iOS 26+)
• Log a dose in under 3 taps, with a 5-minute undo window
• Automatic missed-dose detection: if a dose isn't logged 30 minutes past its schedule, family gets a push notification

CORE FEATURES — ALL FREE
• Reminders: daily / specific weekdays / every N days, multiple meds and times
• One-tap logging: taken or skipped
• Stock tracking: know when it's time to refill
• History: calendar view of every dose
• iCloud sync and backup (the free plan covers up to 3 medications; Pro is unlimited)

FAMILY REMOTE MONITORING (PRO)
Children can follow their parents' medication from their own phone:
• Push alerts for missed or skipped doses
• 30-day summary of missed / skipped / late doses
• Synced through your own iCloud (Apple CloudKit) — read-only for family, no our-own servers

• Health records: blood pressure, glucose, weight, heart rate and custom metrics
• Adherence trends (30 / 90 days)
• PDF report export: medication history plus health numbers on one page, ready for doctor visits
• Home screen widget
• Pill-box scanner

PRIVACY
Your data stays on your device and in your iCloud (Apple CloudKit). No self-hosted servers, no analytics, no ads.
