What's New in Meds Ahead
1.2
October 8, 2026
Made for the first days home, when a lot of new bottles arrive at once, with a round of fixes to the counts, dates and warnings. New: - Courses. Give a medication a last day, like an antibiotic. Its reminders stop after that day, Supply says whether there is enough to finish, and Today offers to archive it when it's done. - Scan one bottle after another. After you save a scanned bottle, the scanner opens for the next one, with a list of what you've added so far. - The same bottle twice. When a bottle is already in Meds Ahead, you can add it as a refill instead of saving it as a second medication. - Why this date? Tap it on a medication, or touch and hold a row in Supply, to see how the run-out date was worked out. - A weekly count. At most once a week, Meds Ahead asks you to count one medication, in a reminder and on Today. You can turn it off in Settings. - Remind Again If Not Logged. Turn it on in Settings for a second reminder 30 minutes after a dose that isn't logged on this phone. Fixed: - If a refill you marked as requested or ready runs two days late, is due after your supply runs out, or your supply is nearly gone, the low-supply warning comes back, and Meds Ahead asks whether the refill has arrived. - Refill and expiration alerts stay in Notification Center while they are still true, instead of disappearing the next time the app opens. - The run-out date no longer drifts later when doses go unlogged. Meds Ahead counts unlogged scheduled doses as taken, says so, and asks for a count when it can't tell what is left. - A scanned label's count is offered with a Use button instead of filled in, because it is what the bottle held when full. - Scanning takes a closer look at a hard-to-read NDC, and checks the label's brand and release, such as ER or XL, before filling in a product from the code. - A medication added in the afternoon no longer shows that morning's dose as overdue. - Add Refill and Correct Count record the number you typed, and a dose already logged from the widget or a reminder is not logged again. - Doses logged in Apple Health before you added a medication no longer count against its supply, and a logged dose stays logged after you change its time or travel. - Clearer text on colored buttons in dark mode, missed days marked on the calendar, and correct plurals: 30 patches, 150 mL, 1 day.
