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.

About

Screen Walk

Features

Walk to top up your screen time. Screen Walk turns your steps into minutes. Choose the apps and websites that pull you in, and Screen Walk keeps blocking them until you start a break. Every 250 steps tops up one minute on your card (change the pace anywhere from 100 to 1,000 steps a minute). When you want to scroll, start a break: your apps open for the minutes you choose, then close again on their own. HOW IT WORKS • Choose your apps and websites with Apple's own picker. Which apps and websites you pick never leaves your phone. • Walk. Steps come from Apple Health, so a walk with your phone in your pocket or with your Apple Watch counts. • Start a break whenever you choose. Pick the minutes, hold your card on the reader, and your apps open. When the break ends, blocking comes back by itself, even if Screen Walk is not open. • Minutes you don't use carry over into tomorrow, then drop off the card. Walk today, scroll tomorrow, nothing to stockpile. YOUR DAY, IN ONE PLACE • Today shows your card, a short log of each walk and each break, and one sentence about how the day is going. • Insights gives your week a plain verdict and a simple chart. Step and calorie goals are optional, just for you, and never change your minutes. WHY IT WORKS • Blocking is real: it uses Apple's Screen Time technology, not a timer you can swipe away. • The pace is yours: gentle at 100 steps a minute, strict at 1,000. • No accounts, no ads. Your step counts, Health data and the apps you choose stay on your device.
