Pill Reminder

Take the right medication at the right time — no spreadsheets, no sticky notes on the fridge. MedControl+ reminds you of every dose with a photo of the pill, logs what you took, tells you when a box is running low and keeps your family in the loop. Designed to be simple for older adults, too. REMINDERS YOU RECOGNIZE AT A GLANCE • The notification shows a photo of the medication: Taken, Snooze or Skip without opening the app • A large "Medication time" screen, with read-aloud • Alarm mode that rings even on silent • "Already taken?": the app warns you before you take the same dose twice • A follow-up reminder when a dose is late, and a heads-up before the time so you can take it with you ADD A MEDICATION IN SECONDS • Search hundreds of medications and brand names, with dose and form suggested (catalog for the United States and Brazil) • Take a photo of the box: the app reads the dose and suggests the name (the barcode reader works with boxes from Brazil and the United States) • Every day, specific weekdays, every few days, every few hours, cycles or only as needed • How to take it: on an empty stomach, with food, with water — plus a "you can eat now" alert • Tapering and dose changes in steps YOUR DAY ON ONE SCREEN • Today's doses with progress, and "Confirm the day" to mark everything at once • Swipe to take or skip, and note why you skipped • Simple mode: a single screen with large text, designed for older adults HISTORY AND A REPORT FOR YOUR DOCTOR • Monthly calendar: green taken, yellow late, red missed • Adherence and punctuality charts • A PDF report, including readings and symptoms, to bring to your appointment SUPPLY THAT FOLLOWS HOW YOU ACTUALLY TAKE IT • How many days each medication will last, based on what you really take • Refill alerts ahead of time and a reminder to renew your prescription • A log of purchases and the cheapest pharmacy FAMILY AND CARE • Profiles to manage medications for your parents, your kids or anyone who depends on you • Let someone know via WhatsApp or Messages when you take a dose, with the message ready to send • Invite a family member to follow along through iCloud — they get the alert on their own iPhone HEALTH DIARY • Doctor visits and tests, with a reminder the day before • Blood pressure, glucose, weight, temperature, oxygen and heart rate • Symptoms and side effects, linked to the medication you suspect EVERYWHERE • Apple Watch app with Taken, Snooze and Skip on your wrist • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with a Take button • Next dose on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Siri and Shortcuts: "I took my meds" • iPad, with a sidebar and keyboard support • In English, Portuguese and Spanish Taking a dose from your watch, a widget or a notification works the same way: it counts once and your supply goes down the same. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No account, no login. Everything stays on your device, with optional sync through your own iCloud. You can lock the app with Face ID and hide medication names in notifications. PREMIUM One medication with reminders, alarms and history works without a subscription.
