Turn your medicine cabinet into a smart, organized space. CuraNook helps you keep track of medications, supplements, and first-aid supplies at home, in your travel kit, in the car, or anywhere else you store them. Simply take a photo of a package. CuraNook uses AI to identify the product and create a clear digital card with details such as its name, active ingredients, strength, dosage form, manufacturer, package quantity, visible expiration date, storage information, and other available label details. Always review recognized information before saving it. SCAN AND ORGANIZE Add medications in seconds, group them by category, mark favorites, record quantities and storage locations, and create separate cabinets for your home, travel kit, car, first-aid supplies, family members, or custom locations. Each medication card can include a package photo, brand and generic name, active ingredients, strength, dosage form, expiration date, quantity, batch or lot number, storage instructions, warnings, source links, and personal notes. ASK YOUR MEDICINE CABINET CuraNook includes an AI assistant that can use the contents of your saved medicine cabinet to answer practical questions. Ask things like: “What do I have that is commonly labeled for headache relief?” “Which medications expire soon?” “Do I have products with the same active ingredient?” “What should I check before packing a travel medicine kit?” “Which items should I replace before my trip?” “What is this medication generally used for?” “Where did I store my allergy medication?” The assistant reviews your saved products, categories, active ingredients, expiration dates, quantities, and available medication information to provide a clear, structured answer. TRACK EXPIRATION DATES See which items are expiring soon, already expired, running low, recently opened, or missing important details. Set reminders before a product expires or reaches its after-opening limit, giving you time to check or replace it. PREPARE FOR A TRIP Ask CuraNook to review your travel kit, check upcoming expiration dates, find items that may need replacing, and compare your cabinet with a general travel checklist. CuraNook does not prescribe medications or replace professional travel health advice. FIND WHAT YOU NEED Search by product name, active ingredient, category, expiration date, or storage location. Quickly find a saved medication without searching through boxes, drawers, or travel bags. CURANOOK PRO Upgrade to CuraNook Pro for unlimited medication scans, products, and cabinets; full AI cabinet chat; detailed package analysis; expiration and after-opening reminders; travel kit reviews; advanced search and filters; widgets; PDF and CSV export; and additional organization tools. Subscription options include weekly and annual plans with an introductory free trial where available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account after confirmation. Your subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. IMPORTANT INFORMATION CuraNook is an inventory and informational tool. It does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe treatment, calculate personal dosages, or replace a doctor or pharmacist. AI-generated results may be incomplete or incorrect. Always verify the product name, strength, expiration date, ingredients, warnings, contraindications, and instructions on the original package or official insert before using a medication. Do not use CuraNook as your only source of information for urgent or emergency medical decisions. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
