DoseBell: Medicine Reminder

An alarm at every dose, with a photo of the medicine and voice notes in a family member's own voice. Family is told if a dose is missed. No account, no ads.

DoseBell helps elderly parents take the right medicine at the right time, and lets the family know if a dose is missed.

At each dose time, DoseBell rings the iPhone's own alarm (iOS 26 and later). It rings full screen on the lock screen, even in silent mode or Focus, until it is answered. Tap "Open" to see DoseBell's alarm screen: a photo of the actual medicine strip or bottle, how much to take, and whether to take it before or after food, with "Taken", "Snooze" and "Skip". It can read the instruction aloud, or play a voice note recorded by a family member. A dose can be understood at a glance, without reading.

MADE FOR ELDERS, SET UP BY FAMILY • Large text, big buttons and clear pictures • Photo of each medicine, so it is recognised by sight • Voice instructions in a family member's own voice • Read aloud in the chosen language • Half and quarter tablets, syrups, drops, inhalers, injections, creams, powders and more • Before food, after food, with food, on an empty stomach or at bedtime

NEVER MISS A DOSE • Alarm that rings until the dose is answered, then rings again if ignored • Mark a dose as taken, snooze it, or skip it • Each dose notification shows the medicine's name and photo, with "Taken", "Snooze" and "Skip" buttons that work from the lock screen, without opening the app • Today's doses at a glance, in the order they are due • Courses with an end date, or medicines taken every day

KEEP FAMILY IN THE LOOP (OPTIONAL) • A caregiver gets a notification on their phone if a dose is missed or skipped, or if a medicine is added, changed or stopped • Works with the free ntfy app, with no account or phone number needed.

SAFE FROM MISTAKES • Changing, stopping or removing a medicine needs Face ID, Touch ID or the iPhone passcode • Every change is recorded with its date and time • A medicine that was taken can never be quietly deleted from history

FOR THE DOCTOR'S VISIT • History of every dose taken, skipped or missed • A one-page medication report as a PDF, to share with the doctor

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no login, no advertising, no tracking • Everything stays on the phone • Nothing leaves the phone unless you turn on caregiver alerts or share a report

17 LANGUAGES English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Indonesian, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese. The app's language can be different from the phone's.
