· A rhythm for your days Quiet, unobtrusive dose confirmations that follow your day. Light widgets, soft haptics, and notifications you shape yourself. · Adding a medication Type it in, photograph the box, or pick a photo. We match public drug information to speed entry — reference only. Our icons, or your own photo. Small details, a little warmth in an ordinary day. · Rhythms that don't fit a daily box Most schedules are simple. Some follow another rhythm — 21 days on, 7 days off. MediAlly understands cycles. Set it once; it remembers. · Stock and expiry A quiet eye on what is left and when it expires. No nagging — a gentle word only when it matters. · When a medication ends, you decide Archive it and it stays within reach, or delete it for good. Either way, the past belongs only to you. · A calendar that remembers a life, not just doses Doses taken, doses missed, symptoms noted along the way. Details can be added later. Not a scoreboard — a record of how you lived with your medication. · Change the dose, keep the past Adjust whenever you need. MediAlly records the new amount; earlier doses stay where they were. Nothing is overwritten — just a new chapter. · More than medication Body and mood tell a story larger than any prescription. Alongside doses, note pain, sleep, mood, energy, nutrition, activity — whatever you want. Simple scales anyone can read: not an exam, just gentle questions. Optional, and yours. · Health records Checkup reports, prescriptions, lab results — photograph them, or bring them in from your library or a PDF, and keep them in one place. When you need, AI reads the text, and you check and correct it block by block. For a name or an ID number you'd rather not show, masked recognition is optional. Afterwards, even the words inside the photos are searchable. · A rhythm that learns slowly If it notices your pattern shifting, it may gently suggest reviewing your routine with your clinician. It never changes a setting on its own. You and your doctor decide whether, and when. · Family support, with respect Stay close to the people you care about, gently and with respect. You decide when to share: they see the medications in use and whether doses were on time. A quiet window into your day, wherever they are. Care still arrives — a call, a message — never late. · Travelling? We're with you Need to explain a medication in another language? Make a simple card — name, directions, dose — and show it to a pharmacist or doctor. Language is no longer a wall. When the time zone changes, MediAlly notices and asks whether to adjust your schedule. · Colours like yours Medication doesn't have to look like treatment. More than twenty palettes — some bright with energy; some soft and inward, like an exhale. Choose the one that feels right. Less clinical; more you. · Designed for everyone Full iPhone accessibility support, with modes for colour blindness, low vision, blindness and hearing differences. Also on Apple Watch, iPad and Mac — quietly in sync, never in the way. · Privacy you can feel Data stays on your device, or syncs through your own iCloud — your choice. No third-party tracking, no leaks, nothing extra to carry. · Real expertise, real warmth Practising physicians are part of the team. Everything we build balances reliability with care — practical, friendly, honest, human. MediAlly only guards your rhythm. Close. Steady. Quiet. As if it were always meant to be this way.

About

SwimPaceTimer

Features
Read full description

SwimPaceTimer is an Apple Watch interval timer for the pool. Three settings, that's it: distance, reps, and your send-off cycle. MADE FOR SWIMMERS WHO - are tired of watching the pace clock and counting in their head - just want to hold a send-off without fiddling with settings mid-set WHAT IT DOES - Build a set: distance x reps x send-off cycle (e.g. 25yd x 5 @ 1:30) - Tap start, get 5 seconds on the wall, then push off on the buzz - A heads-up buzz 5 seconds out, then a start buzz - hold your cycle without looking at your wrist - Countdown ring, rep dots, heart rate, split and total time at a glance - Live heart rate on screen while you swim WORKS ALONGSIDE THE WORKOUT APP SwimPaceTimer is a send-off timer, not a tracker. It never takes over a workout you are already recording. Start a pool swim in the built-in Workout app if you want it saved to Health — that also turns on Water Lock for you — then let SwimPaceTimer handle the send-offs. BUILT FOR THE WATER Screens are hard to read and harder to tap when you're wet. Set everything on the wall before you push off, then swim - your wrist tells you when to go. Yards or meters follows your region automatically.
