Hi, I'm Mew! I'm your little companion in Mewdicate, here to help you keep track of medications, vitamins, and supplements. Ever find yourself wondering, “Did I take my pill this morning?” Between work, errands, and a good movie, it's easy to lose track. Mewdicate keeps your reminders and dose history together, so you have somewhere to check. HOW MEWDICATE HELPS • Reminders for your medication schedule Set reminders for daily doses, specific weekdays, every few days, or cycles with treatment days and breaks. Follow the schedule your doctor or pharmacist has given you. On days off, you can set a wake-up time so earlier reminders wait until the time you choose. • Sounds you can choose Pick a notification sound you like, including gentler options. If you can't check a reminder right away, snooze it for later. • A record of each dose Mark a dose as taken to save it to your history. Review taken and skipped doses, look through your records with a family member, or show your history to your doctor or pharmacist during a visit. • Export your medication records to PDF Create a PDF of your current medication list or your dose history for a selected date range. Save or print your records, or share them with your doctor, pharmacist, or family when needed. • Refill reminders Enter how much medication you have left and choose when you want an alert. Mewdicate lets you know when your supply reaches that amount or less, giving you time to get more medication or supplements. • Your next dose on the Home Screen Check your next scheduled dose in the widget without opening the app. It's handy when you're filling your pill organizer or getting ready to head out. • A companion by your side Choose a cat or dog to keep you company when you check off a dose and celebrate with you when you've taken all your doses for the day. Your companion also appears in the Home Screen widget, making the routine a little more enjoyable. USE MEWDICATE TO KEEP TRACK OF: • Long-term prescriptions, including medication for blood pressure, diabetes, or heart conditions. • Birth control pills and their prescribed cycles. • Daily vitamins and supplements. • Short courses of medication, including prescriptions after surgery. • Medication you take as needed, so you can log each dose without a fixed schedule. A little company can bring a little joy to taking medication. Following your treatment is also a way to care for yourself and the life you enjoy. Your health is precious. Let Mew be part of the small, everyday things you do to care for it. MEWDICATE PRO Mewdicate is free to use, with no ads. Pro adds unlimited medications and reminders, full history, backup, and more ways to customize sounds, widgets, and companions. Choose the Mewdicate Pro plan that suits you: - 3-month subscription - Annual subscription - Lifetime access (one-time purchase) Mewdicate is a reminder and record-keeping tool.
