MedAlarm: Pill & Med Reminder

MedAlarm is a straightforward medication reminder. It tells you when a dose
is due and lets you record whether you took it, right there.

Setting up a medication takes a name and a time. There is no account to
create.

It also keeps a log of your blood pressure and weight, with charts and
Apple Health sync.


■ Record the dose from the notification

A notification arrives when a dose is due. Press "Mark as taken" or "Skip"
on the notification itself and the record is kept — no need to open the app.
If you cannot deal with it right then, snooze it.

MedAlarm can also remind you again automatically when a notification goes
unanswered. The snooze and follow-up intervals are yours to set.

A dose you have already recorded will not be announced again that day. Take
something early and nothing goes off later to confuse you.


■ Home screen widget

Put the widget on your home screen or lock screen to see what is left for
today without opening the app. Tap a dose on the widget to mark it as taken.

If you would rather not have medication names visible to whoever glances at
your phone, the widget can hide them.


■ Schedules that match the prescription

・Every day
・Chosen days of the week
・Once a month, on a set date
・Cycles: take for a number of days, rest for a number of days, repeat

The cycle option covers courses written as "21 days on, 7 days off" — oral
contraceptives, steroid tapers, chemotherapy cycles.

Set a start and end date and the reminders stop when the course does. For a
medication you are not taking at the moment, pause it instead of deleting
it; the record stays.


■ Look back over the record

The calendar shows which doses were taken, skipped or missed, day by day.

Each medication can carry a photo and a note — useful for telling similar
tablets apart, or for keeping "one tablet, after food" somewhere you will
see it.


■ Blood pressure and weight, beside your doses

Log blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and pulse) and weight in the History
tab. They appear on the same screen as that day's doses, so you can see your
readings and your medication together.

Charts show the trend over a week, a month or three months.

Link Apple Health and readings from a compatible scale or blood pressure
monitor come in automatically, and readings you enter in MedAlarm can be
saved to Apple Health. Turn the link on or off at any time in S
