Meet Dosey — the medication reminder that follows your meals, not the clock. Most reminder apps are just another alarm. Dosey sends one calm reminder at the right moment — before breakfast, after lunch, with dinner — so taking your meds fits naturally into your day. Dosey requires a Dosey Pro membership — start with a 7-day free trial, then pick a yearly or monthly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. [NEW] Home Screen Widget See your next dose at a glance, right from your home screen. Mark meds as taken without even opening the app. [How Dosey works] ▸ Add your meds and tie each one to a meal — before breakfast, after lunch, with dinner — or set a specific time. Daily, specific days, or intervals: your schedule, your way. ▸ When it's time, Dosey sends one gentle reminder. Tap "taken" and Dosey records the medicine and time, quietly building your personal health journal. ▸ Took a dose earlier but forgot to log it? No problem — Dosey lets you log it retroactively, so your history always reflects reality. ▸ Here's the magic: Dosey learns your routine. If you consistently take your morning meds at 8:30 instead of 8:00, Dosey shifts your reminders to match. No more alarms going off while you're still asleep. [Recommended for] ▸ Meds that depend on meals: Some medications need an empty stomach, others a full one. Dosey anchors reminders to your actual mealtimes — not an arbitrary clock time. ▸ People tired of alarm fatigue: If you've started swiping away reminders without reading them, Dosey's calm, well-timed nudges bring back the signal without the noise. ▸ Anyone juggling multiple prescriptions: See everything for the day in one place, check things off as you go, and never wonder "did I already take that?" ▸ Supplement takers building a habit: Vitamins, folate, lutein — Dosey turns "I keep forgetting" into a routine that sticks. Take the right dose at the right moment — with Dosey. [Dosey Pro membership] All features require Dosey Pro. New members get a 7-day free trial — nothing is charged if you cancel before it ends. ▸ Choose a yearly or monthly auto-renewable subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. ▸ Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase (or when the free trial ends). ▸ Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://trydosey.com/privacy.html
