MediMate
Read full descriptionHide full description
See which doses you've logged today. MediMate combines a pill reminder, medication tracker and health journal to help you manage daily medication and prepare for follow-up visits. Start with one daily medication and the health readings that matter to you. Use it on iPhone and iPad, with no account required. REMINDERS AND A RECORD OF EACH DOSE See today's medications, doses, times and logged status. Tap after taking a dose, with optional repeat reminders if it remains unconfirmed. Forgot to log? Add the record once you've confirmed what you took. Record clinician-advised medication pauses and review or resumption dates while keeping your schedule and history. CHECK WHAT'S LEFT Track your remaining supply as logged doses are deducted. Update quantities after a refill and see estimated days remaining. Compare the pills you count with the app's estimate, then correct your stock or add a confirmed dose record. HEALTH READINGS, READY FOR YOUR VISIT Manually track blood pressure, fasting or after-meal blood glucose, uric acid, weight, heart rate and custom indicators. Add notes and review readings and trends, with separate systolic and diastolic lines. Export selected readings and trends as a PDF to bring to your next appointment. REMEMBER THE DATE AND THE ADVICE Keep follow-up dates, clinic details, preparation notes and reminders together. Plan future visits at monthly, three-month or custom intervals. Save findings, clinician advice, photos and PDF reports with each visit for easy reference. LOCAL RECORDS, UNDER YOUR CONTROL Use a full backup to transfer records manually between iPhone, iPad and Mac. Restoring replaces records on the destination device; it does not merge them or sync automatically. START FREE β’ Up to 2 current medications, daily or alternate-day schedules, dose reminders and logging, stock checks, and the last 30 days of medication history. β’ Any health indicator, with 3 free readings per indicator in total for new users. β’ One complete follow-up record, including reminders, visit notes and attachments. Additional follow-ups require Pro. β’ Free PDF and CSV exports and full backups. PRO: PAY ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Unlock unlimited medications and health readings, additional follow-ups, complete medication history, advanced dose cycles, low-stock alerts on Today and a refill overview for multiple medications. Saved health and follow-up records remain available to view, edit and export. Existing legacy free health-recording access is preserved. MediMate provides reminders and record keeping, not diagnosis or treatment advice. Follow your clinician's instructions for taking, pausing or resuming medication. Reminders require notification permission and depend on system settings and device state.
