Everything Dose Log does
Dose Log keeps the medicines you take, reminds you when a dose is due, and keeps every dose as Taken, Skipped or Not logged. Here's everything it does, and where to find it in the app.
The main features
RemindersPill reminders that ask again until you answerDose Log's pill reminders ask again if a dose isn't logged, up to 8 times, with Taken, Skip and Later on the Lock Screen and a sound for each medicine.
WidgetsA pill box on your Home ScreenDose Log's widgets lay out today's pills by time like a pill organiser, tick off doses in place, and show your next dose on the Lock Screen. All free.
Pill countCount your pills with the cameraSpread your pills out, tap one, and Dose Log counts the rest with your iPhone camera. Nothing is sent or kept. Then it warns you when you run low.
PeopleMedicines for your family, in one placeKeep medicines for an elderly parent, a child or a partner in Dose Log, each with their own reminders and history. You and one more person are free.
InjectionsKnow where your last injection wentRecord each injection's site on a body map, front and back. Dose Log shows how many days since each site was used and keeps them in your report.
Doctor reportA clear report for your next appointmentMake a PDF of your medicines and every dose Taken, Skipped or Not logged, with your questions for the visit at the top. 30 days free; CSV free for any period.

What you can track
- Every kind of medicine: tablets, capsules, liquids, injections, inhalers, patches, creams, drops, vitamins and supplements.
- Any schedule: Every day, Chosen days, Different times each day, Every few days, On and off, Every few hours, Steps with dates, As needed, and With meals (Plus). Steps with dates are entered by you, step by step, from what your doctor wrote.
- Pill drawings: choose a shape (14 in all), a colour (10) and a score line for each pill, so it looks like the real one on Today, the widgets and Insights.
- Symptoms and readings such as weight, glucose and temperature, beside your medicines.
- Appointments and check-ins, with their own reminders.
Seeing your record
- Today: doses grouped by time. Take all logs every dose due at the same time in one tap.
- Calendar: tap the month title on Today for the whole year. Each day shows Taken, Skipped or Not logged, and an earlier day with doses not logged asks "Did you take these, or skip them?"
- Insights: how each medicine went over 7, 30 and 90 days, by day and time of day. No streaks and no scores.
Everywhere on your iPhone
- Widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, a Live Activity, and "Log a dose" in Control Center on iOS 18 or later.
- Apple Watch, to tap Taken on your wrist.
- Siri and Shortcuts, ready with no setup: "What do I take today in Dose Log", "Take my metformin in Dose Log", "I refilled my inhaler in Dose Log", "Which site did I use last in Dose Log" and more.
- Travel: when you change time zone, Dose Log asks before moving anything. Keep each medicine on home time, switch it to local time, or always keep it at the same time.
Privacy and control
- No account, no ads. Your records stay on your iPhone and, while iCloud sync is on, in your own private iCloud.
- Lock with Face ID (Settings > Privacy) asks before the app opens.
- Discreet mode (Settings > Privacy) says "your medicine" in reminders instead of its name, and leaves out the amount.
- Apple Health, read only: bring medicines over with up to a year of past doses (iOS 26 or later), or bring workouts in as activities. Dose Log never writes to Health.
- Export records: a CSV of every dose for any period, free, and a PDF report.
- Delete everything (Settings > Privacy) removes your records from this iPhone and iCloud.
Dose Log is a record and reminder tool. It doesn't give medical advice or work out doses. Your doctor or pharmacist is the one to ask about your medicines.
