MedReminder is the simplest medication reminder app made for seniors. Extra-large buttons. Gentle reminders. One tap to confirm.
Free to start — up to 3 medications, with reminders every day. No account needed.
You're worried about Mom or Dad missing a dose. We get it. MedReminder is the easiest app you can install on their phone — no account, no learning curve. Set it up in 2 minutes from your phone or theirs. If they miss a dose, you can see it at a glance.
We could have built a kitchen sink. We didn't. MedReminder does three things, and tries to do them better than anything else.
Every button is at least the size of a fingertip — not a thumbprint. Text is set at 20 pixels or more across the whole app. No fly-out menus. No tiny grey icons that ask you to guess. If your reading glasses are on the table, you'll still be fine.
One soft chime, once. If a dose is missed, a single follow-up nudge — not three buzzing alarms in a row. You can confirm a dose without unlocking the phone. The app will not ever flash, vibrate aggressively, or make you feel scolded.
An adult son or daughter can be added in 30 seconds — they see the week at a glance, including anything missed. No "live tracking," no daily reports. Privacy is the default. You can revoke access from your phone at any time.
The whole app is this calm. One screen. Three buttons. Today.
Yes. The medication list and dose history live on your parent's phone and on our servers, encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't sell data. We don't show ads. We don't share anything with insurers, pharmacies, or advertisers. If you delete the account, the data is gone within 30 days — we'll send a confirmation when it's done.
The app sends one clear reminder at the scheduled time — and the dose can be confirmed right from the notification, without unlocking the phone. If it isn't confirmed, it's marked as missed in the history, and with caregiver sharing on, your family can see it in their week view. Never a phone call, never an alarm. Nothing else happens.
Probably, yes. The whole app is one screen — today's medications, with one tap to confirm. There's no login, no email password, no menus to get lost in. Most setups take under two minutes. If it doesn't work for your parent in the first week, email us and we'll personally help — or refund anything you paid.
Yes — that's the point. Every button is at least the size of a fingertip, and text is set at 20px or larger across the whole app. There are no tiny grey icons to hunt for and no fly-out menus. Even if reading glasses are across the room, the screen still works.
Yes. Turn on caregiver sharing and you add yourself in about 30 seconds, then see the week at a glance — including anything missed. No live tracking, no daily reports, no phone calls. Privacy is the default, and access can be revoked from your parent's phone at any time.
Reminders work offline. The app only needs the internet to sync history with a caregiver. So even if Wi-Fi is down or the data plan is paused, dose reminders will still happen on time.
Free for up to 3 medications, with unlimited reminders — that's enough for most people. The paid plan adds unlimited medications, caregiver sharing, refill alerts, and a dose history you can show to your doctor. It comes monthly or yearly, and the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Prices differ by country, so the App Store or Google Play shows you your own price before you confirm. Cancel any time from your phone's settings; we don't make you call.
Medisafe and MyTherapy are capable, feature-rich apps — and that's the difference. MedReminder does less, on purpose: one screen, extra-large buttons, one tap to confirm, and gentle reminders that never nag. It's built first for the senior who finds most apps overwhelming, and second for the adult child who wants quiet peace of mind rather than a dashboard. No ads, no data selling — and we'll always say it complements a weekly pillbox instead of replacing it.
No, and we don't want it to. A weekly pillbox is one of the best tools we know of. MedReminder is the gentle voice that says it's time, and the place where the week is written down if anyone ever needs to look back.
Free for up to 3 medications. Premium adds unlimited medications, caregiver sharing, refill reminders and dose history.
Your store shows your own price before you buy. Cancel anytime.
