FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING Start from common templates (once daily, twice daily, three times daily, and more), or schedule around wake-up, meals, bedtime, or a custom clock. Support weekdays, every other day, every N hours, and as-needed (PRN) dosing, plus long-term meds and short courses with an end date. Optional quiet hours help reduce interruptions.
