Stack
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stack keeps the supplements you already take organized — build your stack, get one calm reminder per moment, and log everything in a single tap. BUILD YOUR STACK Add the supplements you take, with your own doses and your own times. Pick from a small library of common gym supplements or add anything custom. Every library entry is general information with a cited public source. ONE REMINDER PER MOMENT Items due at the same time arrive as one notification, not five. Quiet hours are respected, and one gentle re-prompt is the maximum — no nagging. LOG IN ONE TAP Mark a whole time slot taken with a single tap. Skipping is fine too — history stays neutral, with no streaks and no guilt. TIMING NOTES, NOT ALARMS When your own schedule puts two items together that are commonly taken apart, Stack shows a quiet, dismissible note. Information, never alerts. STACK PRO Free keeps full tracking for up to 5 items, with reminders. Pro unlocks unlimited items, multiple stacks (cut / bulk), training-day schedules, and history export. Stack is an organizer. It shows general information from cited public sources — it does not give medical advice, recommend supplements, or suggest doses. Talk to a healthcare professional about what's right for you. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Stack Pro Monthly — 1 month, $2.99 (USD) Stack Pro Yearly — 1 year, $19.99 (USD) Stack Pro Lifetime — one-time purchase, $49.99 (USD) Prices are in USD and may vary by storefront.

Verdict
Today's Pills and Stack are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
