Track every pill, vitamin, and medication you take for free. Scan a barcode or type it in, then get reminders, streaks, and sync across your devices. The AI advisor is optional and needs your OK. Most supplement apps just remind you to swallow pills. Basic Intake tells you which ones to keep, which to adjust, and which to stop paying for. No bro science. No 47-pill stacks. A tracker that earns its place. REVIEW MY STACK Tap once and your AI advisor audits everything you take, then ranks each item KEEP, ADJUST, or DROP, with a plain-English reason and a confidence level. It weighs real adherence from your check-offs, your own "is it working?" answers, how your lab values moved, your mood and energy trend, and with Apple Health, your sleep and activity. Hand any suggestion to the assistant and it makes the change for you, then marks it done once your stack reflects it. Clinical calls go to your doctor. SOMETHING TO HAND YOUR DOCTOR One tap turns your regimen into a printable PDF: every supplement and medication, the dose, the schedule, and how consistently you have taken it. Bring that to an appointment instead of trying to remember the name of the thing in the blue bottle. The people you care for go on the same report. FOR THE PEOPLE YOU CARE FOR Track a parent's medications, a kid's vitamins, and the dog's heartworm pill alongside your own, each with its own schedule, reminders, and history. The AI advisor works for their lists too. If you are the one who keeps everyone else's pills straight, this is built for you. TOOK IT, FORGOT TO TAP IT Open your adherence history, tap any day in the past week, and fill in what you took. Your streak survives, and your stack review stops counting a forgotten tap as a missed dose. A HEADS UP BEFORE IT COSTS YOU With Pro, add anything and Basic Intake re-checks the whole stack. If it finds an absorption clash (calcium blocking iron), a duplicate pushing one nutrient past its upper limit, or a timing conflict costing you effectiveness, a card names the items, the consequence, and the fix. READ YOUR BLOODWORK Import a lab report as a PDF. Your advisor pulls your biomarkers (vitamin D, B12, ferritin), charts each over time against its reference range, flags anything out of range, and ties it to your stack. WHAT ELSE YOU GET • Scan a barcode and the name, brand, and dose fill in. Not recognized? Snap or pick a photo of the Supplement Facts panel and the AI reads it. Barcodes and tracking never cost an AI interaction. • Schedules that fit real life: every day or specific days, vitamin D on weekends, a B12 shot on Mondays. Anything not due stays hidden, so an off day never breaks your streak. • Skipping on purpose is its own thing: long-press to mark the day handled without logging a dose you did not take. • One tap on Take all logs the rest of a time of day, with Undo if you tapped too soon. • Once a month it asks whether something is helping, and each week a short read on which time of day your doses slip. • Nutrient Totals: every vitamin and mineral against the RDA, gaps and limits flagged • Weight tracking: your weekly trend shows green toward your goal, amber away from it • Restock Reminders track your supply, refill in one tap • iCloud sync across iPhone and Apple Watch, plus backup and restore • Apple Health: your doses send the vitamins and minerals Health tracks, weigh-ins send weight, and sleep and activity feed the advice • Interactive widget, full VoiceOver, unlockable streak flames Basic Intake is an informational tool, not medical advice. Always consult your doctor before starting or changing any supplement regimen. SUBSCRIPTION Free 7-day trial includes up to 15 AI chat interactions and 15 label photo scans. Barcode scans are always unlimited and free. After the trial, Basic Intake Pro is $59.99/year or $7.99/month. Cancel anytime in Settings.

DoseBoard

You spend money on supplements. DoseBoard makes sure they actually work. Most people take their supplements wrong — swallowing everything at once, mixing things that block each other, and missing the best absorption window. DoseBoard fixes this with science-backed smart scheduling. HOW IT WORKS Add your supplements and DoseBoard instantly builds an optimized daily schedule. It knows that Vitamin D absorbs best with fatty food at lunch, that Iron and Calcium should never be taken together, and that Magnesium works better before bed. Every recommendation comes with a clear explanation — no black boxes, just transparent science. SMART SCHEDULING DoseBoard analyzes your supplement stack, your meal times, and your sleep schedule to place each supplement at the optimal time. Fat-soluble vitamins go with meals. Conflicting minerals get separated. Evening supplements align with your bedtime. INTERACTIONS & SYNERGIES Taking Calcium with Iron? DoseBoard warns you — Calcium blocks Iron absorption. Taking Vitamin D with K2? Great — they work better together. The app groups synergistic supplements and separates conflicting ones automatically. FLEXIBLE TRACKING Not everything is daily. DoseBoard supports daily, weekly, every-other-day, monthly, and custom interval supplements. Your weekly Vitamin D megadose shows up only on the right day. COURSE MANAGEMENT Track your supplement courses — see how many doses you've completed, how many remain, and when your course ends. Get notified when it's time to reorder. BUILT FOR YOUR ROUTINE Set your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sleep times. DoseBoard adapts to YOUR schedule, not the other way around. Change your routine and your supplement plan updates instantly. WHAT'S FREE - Up to 3 supplements in your stack - Smart daily schedule with timing optimization - Push notification reminders - Streak tracking DOSEBOARD PRO - Unlimited supplements - Interaction warnings and synergy insights - Full intake history - Course tracking with progress Your supplements deserve better than a random handful with breakfast.
