Most medication apps send a single notification, hope you see it, and move on. PillsCheck doesn't. For the doses you cannot afford to miss, PillsCheck rings a real alarm - not just a notification - that breaks through silent mode and Focus, then keeps following up until you confirm. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Notifications can be swiped. Notifications can be silenced. Notifications can disappear under a full lock screen. Mark a medication as high-importance in PillsCheck and it works differently: each scheduled dose triggers a system alarm that demands your attention the way a morning alarm clock does - and if you don't respond, it tries again. And again. And again. CHOOSE THE PRESSURE THAT FITS THE DOSE Daily vitamins don't need the same urgency as the medication you really cannot miss, and PillsCheck lets you decide medicine by medicine. • Standard reminders for routine doses - gentle notifications that follow up at 15, 30, and 45 minutes if you don't respond, with one-tap actions to mark taken, snooze, or skip. • High-importance alarms for the medications that really matter - full-screen system alerts that bypass silent mode and Focus, escalating until you confirm. A CALENDAR THAT PROVES IT'S WORKING Open the calendar and see your whole month at a glance - days that went smoothly, days that need attention, and the rare day something slipped through. Tap any day for the full list of scheduled doses and what happened with each one. Need to show your doctor? Export any medication's history as a PDF or CSV. Quiet feedback, not a guilt trip. SYMPTOMS, DAY BY DAY Track the symptoms you care about with a short daily check-in - a note, yes or no, a scale, or a photo - kept in the same history and the same export as your doses. SCHEDULES THAT MATCH REAL LIFE Daily, every other day, specific weekdays, or cycles like three weeks on / one week off - PillsCheck mirrors whatever your prescription looks like. Add multiple times in a single reminder so morning and evening medications stay together. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no PillsCheck account, no PillsCheck server, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs. Your data lives on your iPhone and, with iCloud sync on, in your own iCloud - tied to your Apple ID, out of our reach, waiting on your next iPhone. Prefer fully offline? Switch sync off and remove every record from iCloud with one button. You can lock the app behind Face ID or Touch ID. Your health data is yours - full stop. WHO IT'S FOR PillsCheck is built for people who take medications they cannot afford to forget - chronic prescriptions, hormone schedules, post-surgery regimens, fertility treatments, anything where missing a dose costs you something. It is not a doctor's dashboard, a pharmacy integration, or a clinical decision tool. It will not interpret prescriptions, calculate dosage, or warn about drug interactions. It will quietly, relentlessly help you remember. A FEW HONEST NOTES High-importance alarms rely on iOS AlarmKit and the permission you grant during setup; if AlarmKit isn't available or authorized, they still escalate as repeated notifications. PillsCheck also does not share access with caregivers or import from Apple Health. But if you've been looking for a medication reminder that actually keeps after you, you are exactly who we built this for. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED PillsCheck requires an auto-renewing subscription - there is no free tier. Choose monthly or yearly; the price and any free trial available to you are shown before you subscribe. Everything described above is included; there are no separate purchases inside the app. Renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://pillscheck.com/terms-and-conditions.html Privacy Policy: https://pillscheck.com/privacy-policy.html Made with care for iPhone. Calm by default. Insistent when it counts.
