Count Pills Fast. Accurately. Transparently. Counting pills by hand is slow, tiring, and easy to mess up. This app helps you count pills quickly using your phone’s camera, while staying honest about what works — and what doesn’t. No hype. No fake promises. Just reliable counting when conditions are right. How It Works 1. Place pills on a flat surface 2. Take a photo 3. Get the count in seconds No calibration. No drawing boxes. No tapping every pill. Accuracy You Can Trust The app is designed to prioritize correct results in normal conditions: * Pills clearly visible * Reasonable lighting * No overlaps See What Was Counted Trust matters. That’s why the app shows visual markers on detected pills: * Zoom in to inspect the result * See exactly what was counted * No hidden magic You don’t have to blindly trust a number — you can verify it. Fix the Count Instantly No system is perfect. If something is off: Add a missing pill Remove a false one The count updates immediately This turns small detection errors into a fully usable and reliable result. Simple Saving Save your results for later: * Pill count * Date of counting No clutter. Just the essentials. --- What This App Is — and Isn’t Built for accuracy, speed, and honesty Designed for real-world use Not a magic AI that counts pills in any condition Not meant for heavy overlaps or dark environments Clear expectations lead to better results — and better trust.
