WHY DOSEALLY IS DIFFERENT Watch-first apps don't alert your family. Family-sharing apps have no real Apple Watch app. The big names bury reliable reminders and basic features behind ads and paywalls. DoseAlly brings all three together — reliable reminders on a native, standalone Apple Watch, plus accurate family alerts — and the loved one you care for always uses DoseAlly free. DoseAlly is the medication reminder built for your Apple Watch first — and for the family who cares about you. WHY DOSEALLY Most reminder apps fail at the one thing that matters: actually reminding you. DoseAlly is built around a reliable alert engine — strong haptics, optional sound, and gentle repeat reminders so a missed buzz doesn't mean a missed dose. ON YOUR WRIST, EVEN WITHOUT YOUR PHONE • Native, standalone Apple Watch app • One tap to mark Taken, Skipped, or Snooze • Complication shows your next dose and daily progress • Works even when your iPhone isn't nearby FOR FAMILIES & CAREGIVERS • Get notified if a loved one misses a dose • See daily adherence at a glance from your own phone • One caregiver can follow several people; one person can have several caregivers EVERYTHING YOU NEED • 2 medications free — unlimited when you share with family or go Premium • As-needed (PRN) meds tracked clearly • Refill reminders before you run out • Weekly adherence reports you can share with your doctor FAIR & PRIVATE • Reminders for your saved medications never stop — we never paywall them • No ads. Ever. • Your health data stays private Premium (Family plan) unlocks unlimited medications, caregiver alerts, the caregiver dashboard, adherence reports, and refill tracking. DoseAlly is a reminder and tracking tool. It is not a medical device and caregiver alerts are for support only — they don't replace critical medical monitoring. SUBSCRIPTION DoseAlly Family is an auto-renewable subscription: • Monthly — $3.99 per month • Yearly — $24.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Account settings.
