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.
Antibiotics, painkillers, prescriptions — record the name, dose, strength and even notes like "take with food".
A ring counts down to the next dose in real time and turns green when enough time has passed since the last one.
Set a daily maximum and MediTrack keeps count. Dose blocks grey out as they're used, with a warning before you go over.
Tag each medicine with who takes it, then filter by person — handy when a whole household is under the weather.
Changing shifts? Hand a person's medicines and dose history to another carer's phone with a short one-time code.
Every dose is recorded with its time, so you can check at 3am whether it was given. Tapped by accident? Undo it.
Works fully offline once installed. No account, no ads, no tracking — everything stays on your own device.
