About

MediNote

Features
Read full description

MediNote helps you track your daily medications and log how you feel — so you can spot patterns between what you take and how your body responds. Most medication apps only track pills. Most symptom apps only track symptoms. MediNote connects both — so when you log a headache, you can immediately see which medications you took that morning. MEDICATION TRACKING Add your medications with dosage, form (tablet, capsule, drops, liquid), and schedule. Set reminders for specific days and times so you never miss a dose. Check off each medication from a simple daily view. SYMPTOM LOGGING Log symptoms in seconds with preset types or custom entries. Record severity, body area, duration, and notes. Build a detailed history of how you feel over time. MEDICATION & SYMPTOM CORRELATION This is what makes MediNote different. Tap any symptom to see exactly which medications you took that day — and whether you took them. Spot connections your doctor might miss. TRENDS & INSIGHTS View your symptom history on a color-coded calendar. See your most common symptoms, average severity, and how your health is trending. Share data with your doctor as a CSV export. SMART REMINDERS Set per-medication reminders that automatically stay in sync. Get notified at the right time, on the right days, for each medication. BUILT FOR PRIVACY All your data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking, no ads. Your health information is yours alone. PERFECT FOR • Managing multiple prescriptions or supplements • Tracking side effects and symptom patterns • Preparing for doctor appointments with clear data • Building a personal health diary • Anyone who wants to understand how medications affect how they feel FREE & SIMPLE No subscriptions, no paywalls, no clutter. Just a calm, focused tool that helps you stay on top of your health. MediNote is a personal tracking tool and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding your health.
