YOUR MEDS, YOUR PHONE, YOUR BUSINESS All your medication data stays on your device. No account required. No server. No analytics. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY WORK Choose 1 to 4 reminders per medication. Each one can be quiet, with sound, a loud alarm, or a caregiver alert. You decide. If you need to dismiss a reminder in a meeting, tap "Later" and choose a quiet or noisy follow-up in 15, 30, or 60 minutes. SCHEDULE ANY WAY YOU NEED Take something every 72 hours? Every 3 days? Only on Mondays and Fridays? A 21-day cycle with 7 days off? A prednisone taper stepping down over two weeks? DoseAlert handles it all. Choose fixed schedules or floating intervals that shift based on when you actually take each dose. GROUP YOUR MEDS, GET ONE NOTIFICATION Take 4 pills every morning?
