Tookly

Read full description

Never miss a dose again. Tookly is the medication tracker built for real life — especially for people with ADHD and chronic conditions who need smarter reminders, not just another alarm. ―――――――――――― SMART REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR BRAIN ―――――――――――― • Gentle Mode — One calm notification per scheduled dose. No noise, no pressure. • Nagging Mode — Repeats until you respond, with a stop limit you set yourself. No endless buzzing. • Strong Alarm (iOS 26+) — A full-screen alarm that rings even on Silent. Enable it in Settings and it takes over when Nagging Mode isn't enough. • As-Needed (PRN) — Log on-demand medications with minimum intervals and weekly caps. • Snooze — Delay any reminder by 15 minutes when the timing isn't quite right. • Focus Filter — Tell Tookly to pause during Focus modes, right from iOS Settings. ―――――――――――― TRACK EVERY DOSE, EFFORTLESSLY ―――――――――――― • Tap once to mark a dose as taken — undo instantly if you made a mistake. • Visual streak tracker so you can see your consistency at a glance. • Full history with a monthly heatmap — spot your patterns without digging through logs. • Missed and skipped doses are recorded automatically, never silently dropped. ―――――――――――― BUILT FOR PRIVACY, FIRST ―――――――――――― • No account. No sign-up. Open the app and it's ready. • Your medication data lives on your device — never sent to our servers. • iCloud sync keeps all your Apple devices in sync, encrypted end-to-end. • Firebase Analytics collects only anonymous app usage (screen views, feature taps). Medication names and health records are never tracked. ―――――――――――― WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITIES ―――――――――――― • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your next dose at a glance. • Multiple widget sizes: small, medium, and Lock Screen complications. • Live Activity on Dynamic Island while a reminder is pending. • Interactive widget — mark a dose as taken without opening the app. ―――――――――――― STOCK TRACKING & REFILL ALERTS ―――――――――――― • Track remaining pill count for each medication. • Tookly calculates your estimated run-out date automatically. • Get notified 7 days and 3 days before you run out. ―――――――――――― FREE FOREVER. PRO IS OPTIONAL. ―――――――――――― Add as many medications as you need — no limit, no subscription required to use the basics. Tookly is a tool, not a subscription trap. Tookly Pro adds power-user extras: multiple schedules per medication, cycle and taper schedules, expanded family sharing, and 35-day adherence reports. Everything else stays free, always. Not a medical device. Tookly is a reminder tool only and does not replace professional medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist regarding your medications.
