MediTrack — Track Any Medication, Free

MediTime is built for paracetamol (Calpol) and ibuprofen. For everything else — antibiotics, prescription painkillers, any medicine with a "leave X hours between doses" instruction — there's now MediTrack. Add a medicine, set the gap between doses, and tap once each time a dose is taken.

Any Medication

Antibiotics, painkillers, prescriptions — record the name, dose, strength and even notes like "take with food".

Live Countdown Timer

A ring counts down to the next dose in real time and turns green when enough time has passed since the last one.

24-Hour Dose Limits

Set a daily maximum and MediTrack keeps count. Dose blocks grey out as they're used, with a warning before you go over.

Built For Carers

Tag each medicine with who takes it, then filter by person — handy when a whole household is under the weather.

Carer Handover

Changing shifts? Hand a person's medicines and dose history to another carer's phone with a short one-time code.

Dose History & Undo

Every dose is recorded with its time, so you can check at 3am whether it was given. Tapped by accident? Undo it.

Offline & Private

Works fully offline once installed. No account, no ads, no tracking — everything stays on your own device.

Light & Dark Themes

The same easy-on-the-eyes dark display as MediTime for middle-of-the-night checks.

The free version does everything above for up to 2 medications. MediTrack Pro (£4.99 one-off) removes the limit — and includes MediTime Family at no extra cost.

How can I switch between light and dark themes?
On the main screen, you'll find the Light/Dark button at the bottom. Use it to dim the display at night, providing a more eye-friendly experience. This feature is particularly useful when checking medication times during the night.
Is MediTime Timer available in different languages?
Not as yet but we are working on it. We plan to add multiple language support in future updates.
Can I backup and restore my dosage history?
Currently, MediTime does not have backup and restore functionality. This is a feature we're actively developing for future updates to provide extra peace of mind.
Is MediTime Timer free to use, or are there any in-app purchases?
The free version of MediTime is completely free to use and includes only a non-intrusive ad banner at the bottom of the main screen. The Family version is ad-free, and no dose or health information is sent to a server — it stays on your device. Upon purchase, the Family version receives a unique serial number, which is solely used for confirmation purposes.
Does the app work offline?
Yes! Both the Free and Family versions work offline, providing seamless functionality even without an internet connection. For the Family version, only a one-time internet connection is required to validate the purchase, after which the app works completely offline.
How secure is my data and medication information in the app?
We prioritize your privacy. MediTime does not transmit any personal information online; all timing data is solely stored on your device. This means your family’s dose records stay on your own device.
How do I contact support or report issues with the app?
If you have any inquiries or need assistance with the app, please reach out to us using the Contact Form. We strive to respond promptly and provide the support you need to ensure the best experience with MediTime.
Can I track antibiotics or other medicines, not just paracetamol and ibuprofen?
Yes. Our free companion app MediTrack tracks any medication with a set number of hours between doses — antibiotics, prescription painkillers and more. It has live countdown timers, 24-hour dose limits, person tags for carers, a carer handover feature, dose history with undo, and works offline with no account. The free version tracks up to 2 medications; MediTrack Pro (£4.99 one-off) removes the limit and includes MediTime Family. See the full feature list.
