Take Pills helps you remember when to take something — and whether you’ve already logged it. Unlock your phone and today’s pills are waiting on the Home Screen. They sit on a realistic blister pack. Tap one, and that dose is recorded. Taking your meds on time can feel clear, unhurried, even a little elegant. Key Features • Home Screen widget Put today’s blister on the Home Screen. What’s due and what’s already logged is obvious at a glance. Tap a pill to record the dose — no need to open the app first. • Today’s blister Open the app and you won’t get a to-do list. You’ll see the pills for this round. Due, logged, skipped — the state lives on the blister itself. • Schedules Set plans for medications, vitamins, and supplements: when to take them, and how many. • On-time reminders You’ll get a reminder when it’s time. If you haven’t logged yet, an optional follow-up gently says: time to take it. More • Status — log a dose as Taken or Skipped • History — look back by day and by month • Privacy — hide medication names on notifications and the widget • Appearance — custom pill shapes and colors • On-device storage — plans and records stay on your iPhone. No account required. The free version fully manages one active medication. A one-time Lifetime Unlock lets you manage as many as you need. Existing medications can always be viewed and logged. This app is for reminders and personal records only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always follow your doctor or other qualified healthcare professional.
