PillTap helps you avoid missed doses with simple daily medication reminders. Set your medication times once, and PillTap will remind you every day at the times you choose. Marking a dose as taken is optional and used only for your own record. Reminders continue to repeat unless you turn off a scheduled time or delete the medication. PillTap is designed to be simple: - Daily medication reminders at morning, noon, night, and bedtime - Optional follow-up reminder 15 minutes later - One tap to mark a dose as taken, right from the notification - Lock Screen widget showing your next dose - Live Activity shortly before it is time - Time Sensitive reminders that can appear during Sleep or other Focus modes, based on your iOS settings - Recent history (today, yesterday, last 7 days) No account. No cloud. Your medications and records stay on your device. PillTap does not provide medical advice, assess conditions, or recommend how to take medication. Always follow instructions from your doctor, pharmacist, or healthcare provider.
