Read full description

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

Pill Reminder

Features
Read full description

"I got the reminder, but did I actually take it?" "I took it out of habit and forgot to check it off." Pill Reminder is a simple medication reminder built to take that worry away. - On-time reminders Set the time and how to take each medication (before or after meals, etc.) for morning, noon, evening or bedtime. You'll get a notification, and you can log the dose right from it. - Today at a glance See today's doses in time order and check each one off with a tap. - Stock tracking (Premium) Enter the tablets per dose and how many you have. Each logged dose is subtracted automatically, so you always know how many are left and roughly how many days that covers. Adding a refill takes seconds. - Dose photos (Premium) Snap a photo of the blister pack after taking a dose and compare it with the previous photo to confirm the count went down. - As-needed and extra doses (Premium) Log as-needed medicine like headache pills, or an extra dose on top of your schedule, together with the time you took it. You can also set a minimum interval between doses. - Dose calendar (Premium) See at a glance which days you took everything, some, or nothing. - Pricing - Every feature is free for the first 14 days. No sign-up or payment details required. - After that, adding medications, checking off doses and reminders stay free forever. - To keep using stock tracking, photos, as-needed/extra doses and the calendar, buy the one-time Premium upgrade. It's not a subscription, and you will never be charged automatically. - Privacy All records and photos stay on your iPhone. Nothing is sent anywhere. Note: This app helps you remember and log your medication. It is not a medical device. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions for dosage and use.
