Read full description

PillenKompass is your pill reminder and birth control tracker β€” the contraception app that reminds you to take your pill at the time you choose. Discreet, private, and ad-free. Your health data stays on your device. For combined pill, mini-pill, vaginal ring, contraceptive patch or 3-month injection: PillenKompass guides you through your cycle and reminds you of every intake. Up to three reminders: PillenKompass reminds you up to three times until you confirm β€” the first reminder is free, the second and third stage are part of Plus.
