Pillcase is the calmest way to stay on top of every supplement, vitamin, and prescription you take. Built for people who care about how they feel—not just what they take—Pillcase turns a daily routine into a quiet rhythm you'll actually keep. NEVER MISS A DOSE A single Today view shows your next dose, what's coming up, and how the day arcs from morning to night. Smart reminders nudge you at the right moment, not all day. BUILD YOUR STACK Add what you take in seconds. A curated library of 46 popular supplements and medications—Magnesium, Vitamin D, Omega-3, and common prescriptions—means one tap to set up. No typing, no guesswork. LOG FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN Take a dose without unlocking your phone. Lock-screen widgets and a Live Activity put a Take button right where you need it, so logging never breaks your flow. FIND YOUR RHYTHM The Rhythm view turns adherence into something worth looking at: a 30-day sparkline, a clean percentage, and per-medication breakdowns. Watch your consistency build instead of guessing how you're doing. REFILLS, HANDLED Pillcase counts what's left in the bottle and tells you when to reorder—before you run out, not after. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE Pillcase works natively on iPhone and iPad, with a roomier two-column layout on larger screens. iCloud keeps your routine in sync automatically, so logging on one device shows up on the other. APPLE HEALTH, IN SYNC Doses you log flow into Apple Health automatically, so your medication history lives alongside everything else you track. SHARE WITH SOMEONE YOU TRUST Bring a partner or family member into the loop with a private shared view—optional, secure, and only when you want it. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR A calm indigo palette, careful typography, and thoughtful motion. Pillcase feels less like a medical app and more like part of your morning. WHY PILLCASE • 46 supplement and medication presets, one-tap setup • Lock-screen widgets and Live Activity • Day Arc visualization of your daily doses • Adherence insights with sparklines and trends • Automatic refill tracking • Apple Health integration • Optional shared view with a partner or family • iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad • Private by design—your data stays yours Whether you're dialing in your supplement stack, managing a daily prescription, or both, Pillcase keeps you consistent without making it the loudest thing on your phone.

About

SelfAssay

Features
Read full description

SelfAssay is a research workspace for people who self-experiment with supplements, peptides, and nootropics. Look up the evidence, then find out with your own data whether your stack is actually working for you. IMPORTANT SelfAssay is decision support for your own research. It is not medical advice and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It does not sell, source, or recommend any compound, and it does not encourage the acquisition or use of any substance, including prescription or research compounds. Always consult a qualified clinician and follow the laws where you live. LOOK UP ANY COMPOUND Search a growing index of 500+ compounds. Each dossier shows an effectiveness grade by purpose (sleep, focus, recovery, fat loss, and more) and a separate safety grade, both computed from thousands of classified first-hand community reports. See the most-reported effects and side-effects, cited studies and clinical trials, and clinical biomarker directions. When there is not enough first-hand data yet, you see a dash. We never guess. TRACK YOUR OWN STACK Log the compounds you take with dose and schedule, run daily check-ins for energy, focus, mood, and sleep, and set up simple n-of-1 experiments. Connect Apple Health to layer your sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate onto the days you took a compound versus the days you did not. The correlation is computed entirely on your device. MORE TOOLS - Companion: an AI assistant for compound questions, grounded in the dossier data so it refuses rather than fabricates. - Pre-Flight: surfaces interaction and safety considerations reported in the community and the literature for a planned stack, as information to review with a qualified clinician. - Decoder: organizes the values from your own lab report for your reference and lines them up against your stack. It does not diagnose or interpret your results. - Protocols: save and revisit structured protocols. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your vault is encrypted at rest. Apple Health data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers. There is no third-party analytics and no tracking. Export or permanently delete your account and data anytime from the app. FREE TO USE Core research and tracking are free to use. Companion, Pre-Flight, and Decoder have free limits, and advanced use is part of SelfAssay Pro.
