NagRX won't stop reminding you until you take your medication. Each dose rings a real alarm, the same kind the Clock app uses, so it sounds even when your iPhone is on silent or in a Focus, and even if NagRX isn't open. Ignore it and it rings again at your chosen interval until you tap Stop. Set doses daily, weekly, every other week or monthly, see what's due at a glance with widgets and the Live Activity, and get on with your life knowing NagRX has your back. Free, private, no tracking.
