About

DoseLeft

Features
Read full description

DoseLeft tells you how many days are left in every medication you take, and pings you a week before you run out, so a forgotten refill never becomes an emergency. Most medication apps remind you to take a pill. DoseLeft does the opposite. It tracks the bottle, the inhaler, the eye-drop, the GLP-1 pen, and the tablet pack, then counts down the days until empty. One look at the home screen and you know what's running low. • Track inhalers, drop bottles, pill bottles, GLP-1 pens, and tablets • See days remaining at a glance, on the home screen, in a widget, or on your watch • Get a time-sensitive reminder before you run out (you choose when) • Add doses with a single tap • Built-in pen calculator for compounded GLP-1s (tirzepatide, semaglutide, and others): enter vial volume, concentration, and your prescribed dose, and DoseLeft works out clicks per dose and how many doses are in the pen • Works fully offline. Private sync across your devices via iCloud • No account, no ads, no tracking, no data collection Designed for people managing one medication or twenty. Quiet, native, and out of the way until you need it. DoseLeft is a tracking utility for medications you already take. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace advice from a healthcare professional.
