PillPaw is the shared pet medication tracker that ends the "double-dose panic." Whether you are managing a simple monthly preventative, a short-term antibiotic, or daily life-saving pills, PillPaw keeps your whole household synced. When one caregiver logs a dose, the whole household sees it instantly. No more frantic "did you already give it?" texts or missed doses. SEE TODAY'S STATUS AT A GLANCE No more guessing or texting. One shared family schedule shows exactly which medications are pending and which have been completed. The moment a dose is logged, it crosses off for everyone, showing exactly who did it and when so you never double up. ALARMS THAT ACTUALLY KEEP YOU ACCOUNTABLE Say goodbye to silently swiped-away reminders. When a dose is due, our smart alerts will persistently repeat until someone in the household opens the app and actually completes or skips the task. REFILLS THAT ACTUALLY MATCH YOUR BOTTLE COUNT Pets spit out pills, and medications get ruined. If you have to skip a dose and throw the pill away, PillPaw accounts for the waste. Your remaining pill count stays accurate, and the app warns you to call the vet before you run low. A DETAILED MEDICAL HISTORY FOR YOUR VET Ditch the guesswork at the clinic. Easily export a 30-day PDF report of completion timestamps, weight changes, and logged symptoms that your vet can review at your next visit. SYNC YOUR WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Keep your spouse, kids, roommates, or weekend pet sitters perfectly synced. Invite caregivers to your pet's profile so everyone can coordinate care and attribute doses without sharing password logins. PILLPAW PLUS (optional subscription) Unlimited pets, adherence trends, condition charts, and vet-ready summaries. PillPaw Plus is $4.99/month or $29.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation - Auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings PillPaw is a general tracking tool and is not a substitute for veterinary advice.

NutriScout is a nutrient tracker for people who take supplements as well as eat food — and who want to know whether the two together are actually hitting their targets. Log a meal or a supplement in seconds. Every vitamin, mineral, electrolyte and macro you care about turns green, amber or red against a target you set yourself, so you can see at a glance what your day was actually short of. SEE THE WHOLE DAY IN ONE DIAL A day score that counts up as you log, ringed by one status light per nutrient. Tap any of them for what you took, what you were aiming for, and where the gap is. BUILT FOR SUPPLEMENTS, NOT JUST MEALS Keep your own library of foods and supplements with the exact per-serving amounts off the label — every value is yours to edit, because your bottle is the only source that matters. Duplicate yesterday's smoothie with one tap. TARGETS THAT ARE YOURS Start from published daily values and change any of them. Track by the day or by the week. An electrolyte panel puts sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium side by side. SEE WHETHER IT IS WORKING Trend charts per nutrient, a coloured calendar of every day you logged, an on-target streak, and weekly adherence — the answer to "are these supplements doing anything?" NUTRISCOUT PLUS (optional subscription) The free plan keeps your logging, your library, your dashboard, your streak and your full history, and tracks eight nutrients. Plus adds: - Every nutrient tracked, not just eight - Weekly targets as well as daily - 30-day trends and reports (the free plan shows the last 7 days) - Hydration tracking - CSV export of your own data Monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel it in your App Store settings. NutriScout is a wellness tracking tool, not medical advice. Talk to a healthcare professional about your own needs.
