It rings. It doesn't ping.
When a dose comes up, Pillbeat takes over the screen and sounds like an alarm clock — on Silent, inside a Focus, and after a restart. It waits for you instead of disappearing into a stack of notifications.
Reminders that actually go off.
Pillbeat rings a dose like an alarm — full-screen and persistent, through Silent and through Focus. Not a banner that slips past you.
One tap, straight from the lock screen.
Tap Taken on the alarm itself. It stops ringing and the dose is recorded — no unlocking the phone, no hunting for the app.
A late dose is still a logged dose.
Out when it went off, or asleep through it? Record it whenever you get to it. Pillbeat keeps the day honest instead of hiding what you missed.
The schedules people really use
Set times of day, an interval in hours, particular weekdays, every few days, or a cycle like 21 days on and 7 off. Add a photo of the pill so it's the right one.
It adds up, quietly
A running streak, a plain percentage, and a month you can read at a glance — green for a full day, amber for a partial one.
Someone else can keep track, on their own Apple ID.
Share your list with a family member you invite. They see what you take and when, and they change nothing.
- They see
- today's doses, what has already been taken, and how the month has gone.
- They can't
- add, edit or delete anything on your list — their access is read-only.
- If a dose goes unconfirmed
- they can ask their own phone to tell them, after a waiting time they choose.
You turn it on, you pick who, and you can stop it at any time.
Free where it counts. One payment for the rest.
Every reminder feature is free, there's no limit on how many medications you add, and a local backup keeps your data through a reinstall. Nothing about staying on schedule sits behind a payment.
One optional one-time purchase adds two things: automatic iCloud sync across your own devices, and the sharing above. No subscription.
Your medications, schedules and dose history stay on your device. There's no account, and no server we run. Sync and sharing, if you turn them on, go through your own private iCloud.
