## What is Pill Buddy?

A cute mascot that reminds you to take your medications & supplements on time. But watch out: he gets increasingly annoying if you miss a dose!

Pill Buddy is a fun, friendly pill tracker that helps build healthy habits through gentle reminders, playful rewards, and a mascot that actually cares. Inspired by the Japanese daruma, this expressive little companion reacts to every missed or taken dose — from smiles and cheers to hilariously guilt-inducing frowns.

Features:
• Choose from push notifications, phone calls, and widgets to stay on track
• Record dose time and quantity, add one-off doses, or skip meds you don't need
• Add optional notes to your med doses, and track your blood pressure and weight
• Build streaks and earn stars for taking meds on time
• Personalize your mascot with fun items & accessories
• No ads, and your personal info stays private and protected

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or just trying to remember to take your vitamins, Pill Buddy brings warmth, motivation, and a small dose of fun to every day.

### 5/5 — Great friend to have to help you with remembering

*2026-08-26*

I used the free version for medication taking, water and pain levels after a multiple teeth extraction. I was on pain meds plus antibiotics and my every day meds this helped me o tracking and making sure my pain was controlled and my meds were being taken as prescribed. Thanks for making this so easy 😌

### 5/5 — Cute way to track my meds!

*2026-08-14, version 1.51*

I love this little guy. He’s not just cute. He’s helpful. I haven’t missed a pill since I started Using this app. I also use it to track my pain management as well as water intake.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-10, version 1.51*

This is sooooo helpful and I can really appreciate that it’s free as well. Something so useful!!!

### 5/5 — 100% recommend

*2026-08-08*

I’ve downloaded so many pill tracker apps, and every time after you finally set everything up, after all the questions and personal details your punched in the face with a “pay our monthly subscription to unlock full access to our app” where pill buddy doesn’t do that!!! It’s free, has not adds, and doesn’t make you pay for a simple reminder for your (mental or physical) health. I finally feel like I’ve found the app I’m going to be using for as long as I’m on my meds for :) 

And it’s super cute 🥰 and friendly, you can even change the personality which is inviting and actually make me want to take my meds :) 


For the app devs: 

Thank you so much for creating this absolute amazing app. It really has helped me, as someone who suffers from bipolar ll and can’t even remember simple things this is such a fantastic help! ❤️

### 5/5 — Fun App

*2026-08-06, version 1.51*

I never had an app that made med time so much fun. This is the best reminder app ever. It even calls you to remind you to take your meds.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-05, version 1.51*

So I have tried so many pill reminders. I  have to take pills every few hours through out the day. This app is fantastic because it shows non stop on my phone till I take it. Most apps alert you a few times and that’s it. I was constantly forgetting that’s not the case anymore

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-05, version 1.51*

So cute yet has all the right options and professional

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-08-05*

I love this app & I haven't missed my meds since I began using it! I have epilepsy so taking my meds on time is very important to ensure I keep my seizures u def control as much as possible and that I dont have any extra seizures or worsening seizures caused by my meds being late or missed! I also have several other chronic health issues and I also make sure I take all of those meds as well on time so it's great to have a reminder that keeps reminding until its taken! The heat feature is the phone call, that ensures I dont miss the alarm! I recommend this app to everyone who has meds and needs to take them on time & may have issues forgetting to take them!
