MedicineShots

A gentle, insistent nudge — until it’s taken.

Reminders you can’t swipe away — with photo-proof accountability for the people you care about. Each dose fires a full-screen, un-dismissable alarm; a caregiver can require a photo of the taken medicine, then confirm or re-nag remotely. It also works purely for yourself — offline and free.

How it works

Set it once. It won’t let a dose slip.

A Nagger is a reminder you configure. A Nag is one fired occurrence — a full-screen alarm that holds a wake lock, loops at forced-max volume and vibrates, and keeps re-alerting until it’s resolved.

  1. 1

    Set a Nagger

    A Nagger is one reminder: a medicine, a schedule, a dose, and who it’s for — yourself or a loved one.

  2. 2

    It fires a Nag

    At dose time a full-screen alarm holds a wake lock, loops at forced-max volume and vibrates — and keeps re-alerting until it’s resolved. Even offline.

  3. 3

    Prove it

    For yourself, tap “Taken ✓”. For a loved one, photograph the medicine strip so a caregiver can review it.

  4. 4

    Confirm or re-nag

    The caregiver approves (dose recorded) or re-nags (the alarm resumes). A dose missed for ~20 min is recorded MISSED and the caregiver is alerted.

Every reminder in one calm list — tap a segment to switch Naggers and Medicines.
When the dose is for someone else, the alarm asks for a photo of the strip.

On your home screen

Your week at a glance — before you even open the app.

A resizable widget shows the next-dose countdown, an adherence calendar you can flip between month and week, and a timeline of the day. When a dose is due, the whole widget turns to alarm.

Month view — each square is a day: green taken, red missed, amber-blend partial, ringed today.
Week view — a bar per day with per-dose dots and today’s elapsed fill.
Dose due — the widget reskins to terracotta and says it plainly.
