A medication reminder that lives inside your day
tadoy's medication module is a calm pill reminder — doses, scheduled or as-needed, with gentle notifications and a ring that fills as you take them. It writes to Apple Health both ways. It isn't a clinical adherence tool, and it doesn't try to be.
What's in the medication module
- Prescriptions, supplements, PRN — same module, separate schedules.
- Schedule patterns — daily times, every-N-hours, alternate days, weekly.
- Gentle reminders — opt-in notifications per medication, editorial in tone.
- Dose ring — a small ring on the daily page fills as the day's doses are taken.
- Log late or skip — honest record of what actually happened, no shame banner.
- Apple Health two-way — writes dose logs back to HealthKit, reads existing entries.
- Refill reminders — set a count-down so the bottle doesn't run out unnoticed.
A reminder, not a clinical tool
This is the line worth being explicit about. tadoy's medication module is a reminder and a log. It is not Medisafe-style clinical adherence software. It doesn't carry a drug-interaction database, doesn't check for contraindications, doesn't have a prescriber portal, and shouldn't be used as a substitute for advice from a doctor or pharmacist.
For people on simple regimens — one or two prescriptions, a few supplements — tadoy is the calm place to keep them visible alongside the rest of the day. For people on complex regimens with high-stakes timing (transplants, chemotherapy, complex psychiatric medications, narrow-therapeutic-window drugs), a clinical-grade adherence app like Medisafe is the appropriate tool and tadoy can run alongside it as the lighter daily surface.
How tadoy compares to dedicated medication apps
- Medisafe — the clinical-grade adherence app with drug interaction checks, refill management, family notifications and FDA-friendly polish. The right answer for complex regimens. tadoy isn't replacing it.
- MyTherapy — well-regarded reminder with a health-journal layer. Closer to tadoy in feel; the difference is bundle (tadoy holds medication next to journal, mood, body, cycle).
- Round Health — beautifully designed, iOS-native reminder. The closest aesthetic neighbour. Doesn't cover the rest of the day.
- Apple Health — Apple's native medication surface (added iOS 16) is free and on-device. tadoy reads and writes Apple's medication entries, so you don't lose data by using both.
Why editorial reminders
Most pill-reminder apps use clinical or alarming copy — "MISSED DOSE" banners, repeated push escalations, red badges. That works for some people. For people who already feel medicalised by their prescriptions, it doesn't.
tadoy's reminders are editorial — "morning round, when you're ready" rather than "ALERT: dose overdue." Notifications are opt-in per medication. If you want the louder alarm version (and for some medications you should), a clinical-grade tool is the right call.
Medication inside the daily page
The dose ring sits quietly on the daily page, alongside sleep, mood, habits and what you logged in the journal. The point is the same as the rest of tadoy: you read the day in one place. A flatter mood next to a missed morning dose, a heavier sleep next to a new prescription — these are patterns you only notice when they share a page.
Privacy
Medication entries live on your device. They aren't synced to tadoy's servers, shared with advertisers or pharmaceutical companies, or used to train any model. Full detail on the privacy page.

Common questions about medication tracking
- Is this a clinical adherence tool?

- Can I track supplements?
- Yes. Prescriptions, supplements and PRN doses all live in the same module.
- Does it write to Apple Health?
- Yes, both ways. Reads existing entries, writes new ones back.
- Can it remind me at specific times?
- Yes — daily times, every-N-hours, alternate days, weekly. Notifications are opt-in per medication.
- Is the data private?
- On-device, not synced to our servers, not used for training.
