What is Medication Reminder?

Keep track of your medication schedule with timed reminders. Add multiple medications with dosage, frequency, and timing. Receive notifications when it's time to take your medicine. All data stays on your device — nothing is sent to any server.

Each medication is saved to your device with name, dosage, frequency (daily, twice daily, weekly, every other day, every few days, or as needed), and one or more dose times. The dashboard shows what's due today, your adherence percentage over the last week, and any missed doses. Notifications fire at each dose time, you can copy or print a plain-text summary for your doctor, and you can export the full schedule as a calendar (.ics) file, CSV, or JSON.

How to use

1. Add a medication by entering its name, dosage, frequency (daily, twice daily, weekly, every other day, every N days, or as needed), and the time(s) you need to take it.
2. Enable notifications to receive alerts when it's time for each dose. Grant notification permission when prompted.
3. Mark doses as taken to track your adherence. View your medication history and compliance rate over time.

When to use

• Tracking a new prescription with strict timing, like antibiotics every 8 hours for 10 days.
• Managing chronic medications (blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid) where missing doses matters.
• Caring for an elderly parent and emailing them a printable weekly schedule.

Result

Add 'Metformin 500mg' scheduled for 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM daily, and 'Vitamin D 1000IU' at 9:00 AM daily. Enable notifications and mark each dose as taken when you take it — the dashboard shows your weekly adherence rate.

FAQ

Do I need to keep the tab open for the reminders to fire?

Yes. Reminders run from the open page, so the tab needs to stay open or pinned. If the tab is closed the next time you open the tool it shows the missed doses you can mark retroactively.

Where is my medication list stored?

It lives in your browser's local storage on this device only. Nothing is sent to a server. That also means clearing site data, switching browsers, or using private mode erases the list — export to CSV first if you switch devices.

What does the adherence percentage actually measure?

It's the share of doses you marked as taken out of all scheduled doses in the last seven days. Missed and pending count against it. A 90%+ adherence is considered good for most chronic medications.

Can I track 'as needed' medications like ibuprofen for headaches?

Yes. Pick the 'As Needed' frequency when you add it — there's no fixed time, and a Log a dose button records each dose the moment you take it, so your history and adherence stay accurate.

Will it warn me about dangerous drug interactions?

No, this is a scheduling tool, not a clinical interaction checker. Always confirm interactions with your pharmacist or a service like Drugs.com. The tool only tracks what and when, not whether the combination is safe.
