Whether you take pills daily, every other day, or only on weekends, MedicationCheck keeps you on track without the stress.

Your past logs are securely saved exactly as they happened, even if you change your schedule later. Daily Notes: Record how you felt each day alongside your intake, and keep the context that plain checkmarks can't capture.

SeniorMed is a simple, offline medication reminder and health diary for older adults and the family members who care for them. Large text, high-contrast colours and big buttons make every screen easy to read and use. There is no account, no password and no sign-up. MEDICATION REMINDERS • Add each medicine with its dose, unit and instructions • Several reminder times a day: every day, every few days, chosen weekdays or as needed • 10 alarm tones or a silent notification • Mark a dose Taken or Skipped straight from the notification • A clear daily plan: morning, afternoon, evening and night PILL COUNT AND REFILLS • The pill count goes down with each dose you take • A low-stock warning tells you when to reorder, with an estimated run-out date HEALTH DIARY • Log blood pressure, blood sugar, weight and heart rate, with full history • BMI is worked out from your height and latest weight NOTES AND DOCUMENTS • Keep prescriptions, test results, doctor visits and notes in one place, with photos • Pin notes, tag them by priority and link them to a doctor or a medicine • Set a reminder for an upcoming appointment EMERGENCY CONTACTS • Save family, carers and doctors, and call any of them with one tap • Alert My Contacts opens Messages with your contacts and a message ready — you check it and tap Send • With location allowed, a map link to where you are is added • It never contacts emergency services — in a life-threatening emergency, call your local emergency number EASY TO READ • Three text sizes, light and dark themes • 40 languages, including right-to-left Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Urdu YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU • Everything is stored on your device only — no cloud, no account, no server • SeniorMed never uploads your health information • Export a backup file, restore it on a new phone, or delete everything in one step • Apart from the advert, no internet is needed: reminders, notes and records all work in flight mode ADVERTS SeniorMed is free and shows one small, non-personalised banner advert (Google AdMob), never over a reminder or the alert button. A one-time Remove Ads purchase in Settings switches it off; Restore Purchases brings it back on a new phone. PERMISSIONS • Notifications — so a reminder arrives when a dose is due • Contacts — none needed: the system picker hands over one contact at a time • Location — only when you use Alert My Contacts • Camera and photos — only when you attach a picture to a note SeniorMed never sends messages or places calls itself; it hands them to your own apps. Each permission is asked for only when you first use the feature, and the app keeps working if you say no. IMPORTANT MEDICAL NOTICE SeniorMed is a personal organiser and reminder tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any illness and gives no medical advice. Always follow your doctor or pharmacist, and never change a medicine or dose because of anything shown here. In an emergency, contact your local emergency service directly. Questions?
