Your pill's passport. You're abroad, you reach into your bag for your usual headache pill, and the label is in a language you don't read. Or you're packing for a trip and wondering whether your prescription is even sold where you're going. Pillo answers both questions in seconds. Pillo is a travel companion for medicines. Type any brand or active ingredient and Pillo shows you what it's called in the country you're in right now - plus what it's called back home, side by side - so you can say the right word at either pharmacy. Covers India, the USA, the UK, Australia, and the UAE. WHY YOU'LL USE IT * Identify medicines by name, pill photo, or package scan. * Check availability before you buy - OTC, pharmacist-only, prescription, controlled, or unavailable. * Find local equivalents when travelling. * Get country-specific warnings for medicines that differ between regions. NAME LOOKUP Search by brand name or active ingredient. Pillo shows matching local brands, availability information, and country-specific guidance. SCAN A PILL Take a photo and Pillo uses on-device OCR to read imprint codes, estimate shape, colour, and size, then compare results against a curated database. When no imprint is visible, Pillo provides an appearance-only suggestion clearly marked as low confidence. SCAN A STRIP OR BOTTLE Point your camera at medicine packaging and Pillo extracts the medicine name automatically. LIVE LOOKUP For medicines outside the bundled travel database, Pillo queries NIH RxNorm / RxNav and openFDA data sources to provide ingredient and availability information. MY MEDICINES Save medicines once and Pillo automatically updates local brand names whenever you switch countries. APPLE INTELLIGENCE On supported devices, on-device Foundation Models generate a short traveller briefing for each medicine. A curated offline guide is used when Foundation Models are unavailable. EMERGENCY MODE Quick access to local emergency numbers, nearby pharmacies in Maps, and emergency reference information. SIRI & SHORTCUTS "Hey Siri, find a medicine in Pillo." PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pill scans run on-device. Traveller briefings run on-device. Pillo does not require an account, does not track users, and does not upload medicine lists. Pillo is a reference tool, not a medical device, and not medical advice. Medicine identification may be incorrect, especially when pills do not have readable imprints. Always confirm with a pharmacist or doctor before taking, switching, or stopping any medication.

Most ab routines treat your core as one muscle. It is not. Upper abs, lower abs, obliques and deep core develop at different rates, and the weakest one caps how the whole set looks. AbForge finds that zone and builds around it. HOW IT WORKS Take one photo of your abdomen. AbForge scores your zones separately, estimates your body fat, and tells you which zone is holding the rest back. Rescan whenever you want to see what moved. WHAT YOU GET A routine that targets your weakest zone Your plan is built from your scan, your training frequency and where you train. It rotates as you complete workouts, so you are not repeating the same four exercises forever. Fourteen exercises, every one on video No guessing at form from a static drawing. Each exercise plays a demo you can watch mid set. A guided session, not a list Countdown, timer, rest between sets, swap an exercise you cannot do today. The camera can count your crunch reps if you want it to, and you log the rest yourself. Nutrition that follows the same numbers Calorie and macro targets calculated from your body and your goal. Log a meal by photo, by barcode, or by search. Progress you can see Scan history, workout streak, rank tiers, and a recovery day when your core needs one.
