Pill Reminder Kit
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pill Reminder Kit is a calm, focused medication reminder. It tells you when to take your medicine, keeps an honest record of what you took, and stays out of the way the rest of the time. Add a medication in under a minute. Take a photo of the label and the app fills in the name, dose and schedule for you. You can also type it in, or just say your doctor's instructions out loud. Once a day, a few times a day, on certain weekdays or as needed: you get the reminders you asked for and nothing more. Tap a reminder to log the dose, or snooze it for 10 minutes. If you miss one, the app tells you whether it's still okay to take it or better to skip it. Your Journal shows your streak, how often you took your doses on time, and any symptoms you noted down. Before a doctor's visit, one tap makes a clean PDF of your medications and recent doses. Looking after someone else? Add a profile for a parent, partner or child and keep their medicines separate from yours, or share a weekly summary with a family member. Widgets put your next dose on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and App Lock keeps everything behind Face ID. Pill Reminder Pro includes: - Unlimited medications and profiles - Photo label scanning, even several bottles at once - Drug interaction check across your whole list - Allergy & Condition Guard: a warning before you add something that may not suit you - "Can I take this?" checks for over-the-counter medicines - Missed-dose help: take it now or skip it, with a reminder if you're running late - Dose spacing: spots doses that clash and suggests better times - Advanced schedules: tapers, on/off cycles, fixed-length courses and alternating doses - Dose Guard for as-needed medicines, with a countdown to your next safe dose - Plain-language explainers and food & drink precautions for every medicine - Symptom Journal & Insights - Ask questions about your own dose history - Pill count from a photo, plus refill alerts when supply runs low - Critical-dose re-alerts 15, 30 and 60 minutes after a missed dose - Doctor-ready PDF reports Start with a 2-week free trial, then pick a weekly or yearly subscription. Cancel any time in your App Store settings. No ads, ever. Your data stays on your phone. There's no account and no cloud copy. When you use a photo scan or an AI check, the request goes to our AI providers (Anthropic, with OpenAI and Google as backups). Photos are read and then thrown away, and nothing is used to train AI. You can turn AI off and still type medications in by hand. Optional, privacy-safe usage analytics help us improve the app, and you can switch them off in Settings. Your health data is never used for ads. Reminders work offline. Quiet hours keep late reminders silent. Dark mode included, in 21 languages. Pill Reminder Kit is a reminder app, not medical advice. It doesn't diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Last Dose

Last Dose answers one question: when did I last take it? Open the app and the answer is the first thing on screen, in large type — what you took, how long ago, and whether another dose is possible yet. Paracetamol, ibuprofen, an antihistamine, a migraine tablet: anything you take on demand rather than on a fixed schedule. FREE TO DOWNLOAD. ONE IN-APP PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION. Last Dose is free to download. A single optional in-app purchase, paid once, unlocks the full version — and that is the only payment there will ever be. No subscription, no trial that turns into a bill, no recurring charge, no advertising. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE Last Dose collects no data at all. There is no account to create, no email to hand over, no cloud to sync with. The app makes no network requests of any kind — none — so your medication record cannot be transmitted anywhere, to us or to anyone else. No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers, no tracking. It asks for no system permissions: not your contacts, not your photos, not your location, not Health data. Your record is written to your device's private storage and is removed with the app. WHAT IT DOES • Record a dose with one tap. The time stays on screen: "2 h 15 min ago, at 12:45". • Set optional limits per medication — a minimum time between doses, and a maximum number of doses per 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days. • The status tells you when the next dose is possible, and which limit you are waiting on. • Forgot to log one? Record an earlier dose at the time it was actually taken. • Undo any action: recording a dose, removing one, deleting a medication. • A history for each medication, day by day, so you can see the pattern of a bad week. It is a record, not a scheduler. There are no alarms and no notifications. You write down what you took and when; the app does the arithmetic you should not have to do while you are in pain. BUILT TO BE READ • Luciole throughout — a typeface designed with and for low-vision readers. • Status is never colour alone: an icon, a sentence and a colour, every time. • Every control is at least 48 points. Nothing important hides behind a gesture. • Full VoiceOver support; recording a dose announces itself. • Dynamic Type to the largest sizes without losing a word off the screen. • A high-contrast mode, in light and in dark. • iPhone, iPad and foldables: on a wide window the list sits beside the detail. IMPORTANT Last Dose keeps a record; it does not give medical advice and it is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or recommend a dose. The limits it counts against are the ones you type in yourself, from your own prescription or package leaflet. Follow the instructions of your pharmacist, your doctor or the leaflet.

Verdict
Pill Reminder Kit and Last Dose are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
