## What is MedXpiryTracker?

How many half-used bottles of cough syrup, allergy pills, or vitamins are sitting in your cabinet right now? When did they expire? MedXpiryTracker answers that for you — quietly and privately.
Add a medicine in seconds, and the app reminds you the day before it expires so you can use it, refill it, or safely dispose of it.
Why MedXpiryTracker

Reduce waste. Catch medicines before they expire, not after.
Stay safe. Expired medicines lose potency and can be unsafe.
Stay calm. No more squinting at tiny printed dates.
Stay private. Your data never leaves your device.

Scan, don't type

Most medicine labels are printed in fonts too small to read comfortably. Point your camera at the box and the app reads the name and dates using on-device text recognition. Tap what you want, confirm, and you're done — no login, no QR codes. You can still type or pick dates manually; the scanner is there to save time, not limit you.
Reminders that work the way you do

The day before a medicine expires, your iPhone delivers an "Expiry reminder" notification with Snooze and Cancel actions. Choose your snooze duration when saving the medicine — from a few minutes to a full day — so reminders loop back at a convenient time. Tap the notification to jump straight to the medicine's details and delete it in one tap.
Manage your cabinet at a glance

Every saved medicine appears in a scrollable list showing its manufacturing date, expiry date, reminder time, and snooze setting. Expired items are visually flagged. Swipe any row to edit or delete — its scheduled notification is cancelled automatically.
Private by design

No account, sign-in, or email required.
No analytics, ads, or third-party trackers.
No cloud storage — your list is saved as an encrypted file in the app's private sandbox and deleted with the app.
All text recognition runs on-device via Apple's Vision framework. Camera images never leave your iPhone.

How it works

Tap to add a medicine.
Type the name, or tap "Scan medicine name" and point the camera at the box.
Scan or manually pick the manufacturing date, then the expiry date.
Choose your snooze interval and tap Save.

You'll get a notification one day before expiry. Tap it to view the medicine and decide what to do. Input is validated on save — expiry must be after manufacturing date, and the name can't be blank.
Who it's for

Parents managing a family cabinet, carers of elderly relatives, people with chronic conditions, travellers with a medical kit, or anyone who's ever found an expiry date that quietly slipped past.
Permissions

Camera: only when you tap Scan — recognition is fully on-device.
Notifications: requested when you save your first medicine.

Both can be revoked in iOS Settings at any time. Without the camera, you can still type manually. Without notifications, your list still works — you just won't receive reminders.
Built to last

MedXpiryTracker is small, focused, and ad-free. No subscription, no in-app purchase, no upsell. Designed for iPhone and iPad with a light, high-contrast interface. Works fully offline. Built with SwiftUI and Swift Concurrency for a modern, responsive feel.
Download MedXpiryTracker today and give yourself one less thing to worry about.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-09-14

• A torch option is added when scanning the medicine name to make sure everything is captured well in bright light.
Attach a photo when adding a new medicine — from your camera or photo library
• Thumbnail shown in the Saved Medicines list for medicines that have a photo
• Tap a thumbnail to view the full-size photo
• Tap the photo icon on any non-expired saved medicine to attach a photo after the fact
• Photos stored in the app's private encrypted storage — never in your Camera Roll
• Photo is permanently deleted when the medicine is deleted

Saved Medicines filters (v2.0)
• Three-way filter: All, Expiring (within 60 days), and Expired
• Default opens to Expiring so your most time-sensitive items are front and centre
• Expired medicines are shown in red with an "Expired" badge and no photo-attach option

Compact date entry (v2.0)
• Date row condensed to a single line with a Manufacturing / Expiry dropdown selector
• Auto-advances from manufacturing date to expiry date after you set the first one
• Clear button directly in the date row
• Empty date fields shown as red dashes so you know at a glance what's missing

Duplicate medicine protection (v2.0)
• The app now rejects saving a medicine with the same name and dates as one already in your list
• A different box of the same medicine (different dates) saves fine as a separate entry

The app starts empty — no medicines are pre-loaded. To test photo attachment: tap "Save medicine" after entering a name and dates. In the saved list, tap the photo icon (photo.badge.plus) on any non-expired medicine row to attach a photo. You can Take Photo or Choose From Library; both options are always visible. The "Take Photo" option shows an informational alert on devices without a camera rather than being hidden. No features are gated, server-controlled, or environment-dependent. All data stays on-device.
