## What is The Pill?

Forgetting your pill happens to almost everyone. A busy evening, a late dinner, a phone left in another room, and suddenly you're not sure whether you took it.

The Pill makes forgetting really hard. Gentle reminders, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and a Live Activity keep today's pill right where you look, all day long. Soft or insistent, discreet or direct: you decide how The Pill reminds you.

Designed by a woman, for women.

ALWAYS IN SIGHT
• Home Screen widgets show whether you've taken today's pill, and you can tap "I took it" right on the widget
• Lock Screen widgets keep your pill time one glance away
• A Live Activity waits on your Lock Screen when your pill is due, with a one-tap "I took it" button
• Pick a widget style in Blush, Cream or Lavender

REMINDERS YOUR WAY
• A reminder before your pill time, one right on time, and another if you're running late
• Choose how insistent it is: one reminder, one gentle follow-up 15 minutes later, or up to 3 nudges until it's done
• Set your own lateness window: the minutes before a pill counts as late
• Discreet mode: reminders that never mention your pill ("Hey, it's time."), perfect when someone else can see your screen
• Direct mode: clear pill wording when timing matters
• Give your pill a private nickname

LOG IT IN ONE TAP
• Tap "I took it" and the exact time is saved
• Took it earlier? Adjust the date and time. Tapped by mistake? Undo
• Mark a pill as forgotten, or pause your pill when you need to
• Follows your device time zone when you travel

KNOWS YOUR PACK
• Works with break packs like 21+7, continuous packs and packs with inactive or placebo pills
• See exactly where you are ("Pill 12 of 21"), your break days and the day you restart
• A reminder the day before a new blister starts
• Dose Calendar: taken, late, forgotten and break days, month by month
• Your Rhythm: your typical pill time and how close to on time you really are

NEVER RUN OUT
• Tell The Pill how many backup blisters you have
• Get a heads-up before your last one, so you can restock in time

PERIOD TRACKING, SIMPLY
• Log when your period starts and ends, with flow (none, spotting, medium, heavy) and notes
• Period history and average period length, right beside your pill routine

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no email
• Your pill and period data stay on your iPhone. We never receive them
• Ads never use your health data, and you choose your privacy settings

FREE, OR GO PRO
The Pill is free, with small ads. The Pill Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It removes ads and unlocks any custom widget color, advanced widget editing (fonts, text, buttons and flowers), and custom reminder text and frequency.

Available in English, Italiano, Français, Deutsch and Español.

Good to know: The Pill is a reminder and tracking tool, not medical advice, and it does not prevent pregnancy by itself. Always follow your pill's leaflet and your doctor or pharmacist, especially after a missed or late pill.
