Pillo keeps every pill, vitamin, and supplement in your home in one place — and tells you the moment something expires. Most reminder apps stop at "take your pill." Pillo goes further: it tracks what's in your medicine cabinet, alerts you 12 hours after expiry, and helps you stick to prescribed courses without missing a dose. WHY PILLO • Pill reminders that fit real life — set custom courses for any medication • Expiry alerts — know before a bottle expires, not after • Supplement tracking — vitamins, minerals, and daily stacks all in one log • Photo + emoji per drug — scan your cabinet at a glance • Tag and search — filter by prescription, vitamin, kid's meds, anything • Private — your data stays on your device HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a medication in seconds — name, photo, expiry, dose 2. Set reminder times or a doctor-prescribed course 3. Pillo notifies you for every dose and 12 hours after expiry PILLO PLUS Unlock custom app icons and themed header images. One-time supporter purchase, no recurring guilt. For people who take supplements seriously, manage chronic medication, or just want to know what's actually in the cabinet — Pillo is the medicine tracker that respects your time. Download free.
