Meet Dosey — the medication reminder that follows your meals, not the clock. Most reminder apps are just another alarm. Dosey sends one calm reminder at the right moment — before breakfast, after lunch, with dinner — so taking your meds fits naturally into your day. Dosey requires a Dosey Pro membership — start with a 7-day free trial, then pick a yearly or monthly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. [NEW] Home Screen Widget See your next dose at a glance, right from your home screen. Mark meds as taken without even opening the app. [How Dosey works] ▸ Add your meds and tie each one to a meal — before breakfast, after lunch, with dinner — or set a specific time. Daily, specific days, or intervals: your schedule, your way. ▸ When it's time, Dosey sends one gentle reminder. Tap "taken" and Dosey records the medicine and time, quietly building your personal health journal. ▸ Took a dose earlier but forgot to log it? No problem — Dosey lets you log it retroactively, so your history always reflects reality. ▸ Here's the magic: Dosey learns your routine. If you consistently take your morning meds at 8:30 instead of 8:00, Dosey shifts your reminders to match. No more alarms going off while you're still asleep. [Recommended for] ▸ Meds that depend on meals: Some medications need an empty stomach, others a full one. Dosey anchors reminders to your actual mealtimes — not an arbitrary clock time. ▸ People tired of alarm fatigue: If you've started swiping away reminders without reading them, Dosey's calm, well-timed nudges bring back the signal without the noise. ▸ Anyone juggling multiple prescriptions: See everything for the day in one place, check things off as you go, and never wonder "did I already take that?" ▸ Supplement takers building a habit: Vitamins, folate, lutein — Dosey turns "I keep forgetting" into a routine that sticks. Take the right dose at the right moment — with Dosey. [Dosey Pro membership] All features require Dosey Pro. New members get a 7-day free trial — nothing is charged if you cancel before it ends. ▸ Choose a yearly or monthly auto-renewable subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. ▸ Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase (or when the free trial ends). ▸ Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://trydosey.com/privacy.html

HOW IT WORKS Choose the journals and conferences most relevant to your work. Describe each interest in your own words. It can be as broad as a disease area or as specific as a therapy, biomarker, trial design, research method, or question you are actively following. Receive a separate weekly digest for each interest, containing only the new matches. Each issue opens with a short brief of what changed, with the standout papers starred. Scan the abstracts and open the original publication when you want the full details. YOUR READING, ORGANIZED Bookmark papers you want to revisit. Browse every past digest in a clean reader. Sync your digests across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. CONFERENCE COVERAGE Important findings often appear at conferences before they reach journals.
