Most medication reminders stop at a notification. DoseAlarm keeps sounding — like a real alarm clock — until you confirm you've actually taken your dose. If you've ever slept through a reminder, dismissed a notification without taking your pill, or simply forgotten by the time you noticed it, DoseAlarm is built to solve exactly that problem. ALARMS THAT DON'T GIVE UP • Alarms keep sounding until you confirm you've taken your dose • Snooze if you need more time — the alarm comes right back • A true system-level alarm, built to break through — not just another notification TRACK YOUR ADHERENCE • Every dose is logged as Taken, Skipped, or Snoozed • See your medication adherence rate at a glance • Build daily streaks to stay motivated and consistent CALENDAR AT A GLANCE • Month and week views show your full medication schedule • Instantly see which doses were taken, skipped, or missed • Review your history to spot patterns over time SIMPLE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT • Add and edit medications, vitamins, or supplements in seconds • Quick Add gets a new prescription up and running fast ALWAYS VISIBLE WHEN IT MATTERS • Alarm status appears right on your Lock Screen • Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep your dose front and center • Confirm, skip, or snooze a dose right from the Lock Screen — no need to open the app GO FURTHER WITH PREMIUM Upgrade for deeper insight and more control: • Ad-free experience • Detailed analytics — weekly and monthly trends, per-medication adherence, and the times of day you're most likely to miss a dose • Fully customizable snooze intervals, from 1 to 60 minutes • Monthly PDF reports you can share with your doctor or pharmacist • Exclusive alarm sounds • Skip-reason and snooze-count tracking for a complete picture of your routine Premium is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase.
