Never miss a dose again. CapsPlan is your medication planner with reliable reminders, supply tracking and a complete history – fully offline, no account needed. TODAY'S VIEW All of the day's doses at a glance, the next one right at the top. One tap to confirm, skip, or snooze for 15 minutes. APPLE WATCH Confirm or skip doses right on your wrist with a swipe. Install the watch app once via the Watch app on your iPhone under "My Watch" β†’ "Available Apps". SIRI Say "Hey Siri, next dose in CapsPlan" and Siri tells you your next intake or confirms it by voice. WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITIES Your daily progress as a ring on the home screen, optionally without medication names. Your next dose shows on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a confirm button. REMINDERS Notifications exactly when a dose is due: daily, on specific weekdays, or every N days. With quick actions, follow-up reminders and quiet hours. Travel and time zone mode included. SCAN YOUR MEDICATION PLAN Scan the Data Matrix code of your standardized German medication plan (BMP) and every medication is added in seconds. Or use the guided assistant, or enter everything yourself. TRACK YOUR SUPPLY Every confirmed dose counts your remaining stock down, and CapsPlan warns you before a pack runs out.

TAPERING UP AND DOWN Reduce or increase a dose automatically in fixed steps, to 0 or to a target dose. If your doctor changes the therapy, you can adjust the plan at any time. Always agree on this with your doctor. PRIVACY All data stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no sharing with third parties. Optionally back up your data to your own iCloud. For anyone who takes something regularly – blood pressure medication, antibiotics, vitamin D or omega-3. One supplement or twelve. CapsPlan does not replace medical advice.

PillSeal

PillSeal rings like a real, persistent alarm until you actually take your medication, not a notification you can swipe away and forget. Never miss a dose again, even on silent or Do Not Disturb. Seal each dose with a calm photo moment, so you always know it's truly done. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED PillSeal Pro is required to use PillSeal. Everything described below is part of the subscription, which starts with a 3-day free trial. Most reminder apps send a quiet ping that's easy to miss. PillSeal is different. When it's time, your phone sounds a real alarm that keeps going until you respond, so a busy morning, a loud room, or a silenced phone never costs you a dose. Then you seal the dose with a photo, so "Did I take it?" becomes something you can look at instead of something you guess. It's the gentle insistence of someone who cares, built right into your day. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Add each medication with its dose, quantity, schedule, and whether it goes before or after meals, or just scan the label. β€’ PillSeal builds your daily schedule and sets the alarms for you. β€’ When a dose is due, the alarm rings and keeps ringing until you respond. β€’ If the dose goes with food, PillSeal asks whether you've eaten and waits if you haven't. β€’ Pick up your phone and seal the dose with a calm photo moment. β€’ PillSeal counts down your supply and reminds you to refill in time. β€’ Today shows what's due, what's next, and what you've already sealed. FEATURES β€’ Alarms that break through silent mode and Focus, built on Apple's AlarmKit β€’ Re-ringing when you don't respond, so one missed alarm isn't the end of it β€’ Photo confirmation for every dose, kept in a gallery only you can see β€’ Label scanning that fills in the name, dose, and schedule for you β€’ Before-meal and after-meal doses, with a food check that can push a dose back β€’ Supply tracking with a refill reminder before you run out β€’ Adherence streaks that reward consistency β€’ Shapes and colors to tell similar looking pills apart β€’ Works without an account, and without a connection β€’ Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese MADE FOR REAL LIFE β€’ People on daily prescriptions who can't afford to forget β€’ Anyone finishing a short antibiotic course exactly as prescribed β€’ People helping a loved one keep their medication routine on track β€’ Older adults who want something simple, loud, and reassuring β€’ Anyone who still misses doses with basic reminder apps PRIVACY β€’ Your medications, dose history, and photos stay on your device. β€’ No account, no sign-up, no email address. β€’ No ads and no tracking. Anonymous usage statistics help improve the app; they never include your health data, and you can switch them off in Settings. β€’ The camera confirms that someone is there and taking a dose. It never identifies you, and every frame is processed on your phone. β€’ PillSeal uses the network only for your App Store subscription and for those statistics. Take it, prove it, and forget the worry. PillSeal carries the remembering so you don't have to. SUBSCRIPTION (REQUIRED) PillSeal Pro is required to use PillSeal: every alarm, dose check-in, and feature described above is part of the subscription. Start with a 3-day free trial, then an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Your subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. This app helps you follow your own medication routine and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always follow the guidance of your doctor or pharmacist.
