Medly is a simple medication reminder app that does one thing and does it well: it reminds you when to take your meds and lets you confirm each dose in one tap. No drug databases. No pharmacy integrations. No clutter. Just reliable reminders and a clear view of your daily medication status. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your medications and set the times you need to take them — once, twice, or three times daily. 2. Medly sends you a notification at each scheduled time with a "Took It" button. 3. Tap the button right from the notification. Done. No need to open the app. 4. Open the app anytime to see your Today view — which doses are taken, which are pending, and which you missed. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Create a free account to keep your medications and dose history backed up in the cloud. Switch phones, delete the app, reinstall — your data is always there when you sign back in.
