DoseWise is a dose tracker that respects you: no subscription, no account, no ads, and no servers. There is zero networking code in the app — your data physically cannot leave your phone. TRACK ANYTHING Medications, vitamins, supplements, or anything else — names are free text, so you're never limited to a database that doesn't know your compound. Every unit included: mg, mcg, IU, mL, plus pills, capsules, drops, puffs, and sprays. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY WORK • Flexible schedules: every day, specific weekdays, every N days, or as-needed • Multiple reminder times per compound, each with its own dose amount for split doses • Log from the lock screen: long-press a reminder and tap Taken, Snooze, or Skip — without unlocking your phone • Optional time-sensitive reminders that break through Focus and silent mode • Optional end dates: reminders stop automatically when a treatment ends STAY ON TRACK • Today view with a progress ring, week strip, and doses grouped by time • Streaks and adherence stats for today, 7 days, and 30 days • Supply tracking with refill warnings before you run out • A private daily check-in for how you're feeling • Pause any compound without losing its history PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE, NOT BY PROMISE Most health apps promise privacy in a policy. DoseWise enforces it in code: there are no network calls anywhere in the app. No analytics, no tracking, no cloud. Your data is a single encrypted file on your device, and deleting the app deletes everything. DoseWise is a reminder and logging aid, not medical advice. Always follow your prescriber's instructions.

Set a step goal. Put W Points on it. Hit the goal or they're gone. A commitment device with teeth. Pick a daily step goal and a period — 7 days or 30 — then put W Points on the line. Finish at or above your total and every W Point lands back in your wallet. Fall short and they're gone. That's the whole deal. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a daily goal. The app suggests one from your last 30 days: your average, pushed 10%. • Choose 7 days or 30. • Put 1 to 50 W Points on it. They leave your wallet the moment you lock in. • Walk. The dashboard shows your pace, the number you need per day, and what is still on the line. • Settle. Hit the total and every W Point comes back. Miss it and they are gone. STEPS COME FROM APPLE HEALTH Read-only, and step count only. Your iPhone and Apple Watch do the counting. Typed-in steps never count — walking is the only way to finish a challenge. WHAT IT COSTS Walk or Pay is $1 a month. The subscription drops one W Point into your wallet every month, yours to put on a goal. Want more, buy a pack any time: 5, 10, 25, or 50 W Points. Purchases are final. W Points never expire and have no cash value. THE BOARD An anonymous leaderboard ranks walkers by challenges won, with wallet size breaking ties. No names, no photos, no follower counts — you are a number and so is everyone else. Switch it off in Settings. WHAT IT IS NOT No coach. No confetti for opening the app. No badge for a three-day streak. The dashboard tells you the number you need and how far behind you are. That is the entire pitch. Delete your account whenever you want, right in Settings — account, wallet, ledger, and history erased for good.
