## What is Pillsem?

Pillsem ("pill" + "sem", Korean for counting) counts tablets spread on a counting tray from a single photo. Built for pharmacy staff.
Counting happens on your device. Photos you confirm are sent only if you join the training contribution. It is off by default. No account, no ads, no analytics. Counting is free up to 10 times a day. Pro Lifetime, a one-time purchase, adds unlimited counting, your full history, export and grouping.
Treat the count as a reference and always check it by eye.

HOW TO USE
1) Spread the tablets in a single layer on the counting tray, with as little overlap as possible.
2) Follow the on-screen level ring, then take one photo. The shutter freezes on that exact frame.
3) Check the count on the result screen. Tap "Edit", then tap the photo to add a tablet, or long-press a point to remove it. Pinch or double-tap to zoom in for precise edits. Confirm to save the photo and count to history.

CAPTURE HELPERS
- Level ring: shows whether the camera is level with the tray.
- Torch: a button turns on the torch in low light.
- Target count: enter the quantity you need, and the result screen shows how far the count is under or over it.

THREE-TIER RESULT
- No warnings: none raised; still check by eye.
- Needs review: overlap or lighting means a manual check is recommended.
- Retake: the photo is blurry, too dark, or has strong glare, so a new photo is recommended.

WHAT IT SUPPORTS TODAY (v1)
- Recognition: one tablet type at a time, spread in a single layer.
- Less reliable with mixed tablet types or multiple overlapping layers.
- Dispensing envelopes are not yet supported.

ON YOUR DEVICE; CONTRIBUTING IS OPTIONAL
Counting happens on your device. Photos you confirm are sent only if you join the training contribution. It is off by default. You can stop anytime and ask for deletion. The app does not save the photo to your gallery or share it with anyone. You can export records yourself as a PDF or CSV file with no photos, and you choose where it goes. Counting and viewing saved history work offline. Buying and restoring Pro need the App Store and an Apple Account; Apple handles payment and the app never receives card details.

HISTORY STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE (LAST 500 RECORDS)
A confirmed count (photo, count, target, note) and any drug name you add are saved only on your device and appear in the history list. Up to 500 records are kept; older ones are removed automatically. Delete one record, clear all, or uninstall the app to remove everything.

DAILY FREE COUNTS
Counting is free up to 10 times a day. Pro Lifetime, a one-time purchase, removes the limit. If you started using the app on a device before version 1.3.0, counting on that device has no daily limit. If you reinstall the app, clear its data or move to a new device, it counts as a new install and the 10-a-day limit applies. In that case, please write to contact@yesunclinic.com.

PRO LIFETIME (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)
Without Pro, your 20 most recent records are viewable; older ones are not deleted. Pro Lifetime opens your full history, PDF and CSV export (no photos) and grouping by drug name. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. On a new device, Restore Purchase unlocks Pro only; records and photos are not moved.

LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMER
Pillsem is a counting aid for dispensing workflows. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment information. The displayed count is for reference only: final quantity verification and dispensing responsibility must always rest with a qualified pharmacist or authorized staff. Do not finalize a dispensing decision based solely on this app's result.

PERMISSIONS
The only permission is Camera, used for the tablet photo and the torch.

CONTACT
This app is an independent tool provided by Yesun Mind Institute. It is not connected to any medical institution's patient records or clinical services.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.4 — 2026-11-09

When you enter a target, the result screen shows the difference in large type. It also shows a reminder to check when no tablets or only a few are found.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-11-05

We updated the camera permission text and the Pro screen wording. They now say that confirmed photos and marks are sent only if you turn on Help improve recognition.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-11-02

The app is now called Pillsem. New installs now count up to 10 times a day for free, and Pro Lifetime removes the limit. Existing installs are unchanged. A new install asks on first launch whether to join Help improve recognition; the app works the same if you do not, and you can change it in Info. After joining, the Info switch no longer shows as off and your choice to send earlier records is kept. Photos confirmed while we are not receiving wait up to 7 days and go out once we do.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-31

The Help improve recognition screen now starts with a short summary, and the Join and No thanks buttons stay at the bottom of the screen. You can turn joining on or off at any time in Info. If you join, earlier records you choose to send now go out right away instead of after 30 minutes. The counting aid wording is tidied up.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-29

Training contribution is new. Joining is optional and it is off by default. Only if you join, the photos you confirm and your marks are sent. You can stop at any time in Settings and ask for the photos you sent to be deleted. Counting still happens on your device. Marks you delete on the result screen are now saved with the record.
