# Count your pills with the camera

Counting a bottle of pills by hand is slow. Dose Log counts them from a photo, on your iPhone, and then tells you when you're running low.

## How it works

1. On a tablet, capsule, vitamin or supplement, turn on **Count what's left**. Or open **Refill** on a medicine you already count.
2. Tap the camera button beside **How many are left** (or **How many did you add?** when refilling).
3. Spread the pills on a plain surface, fit them inside the frame, and **tap one pill**.
4. Dose Log marks every pill that looks like it. Tap a mark to remove it, or a missed pill to add it.
5. Tap **Use** with the count, or Retake.

You can also count from a photo already in your library.

The photo is looked at on your iPhone only. It's never uploaded and never kept.

## Running low

Choose a number in **Warn me at** (7 unless you change it). When what's left reaches it, Dose Log shows "Running low" on the medicine and on Today, with a **Refill** button, and sends one alert. The medicine's page also shows about when it runs out, from its schedule.

## After a refill

Tap **Refill**, add what you got (by hand or with the camera), and **Add to count**. Each Taken dose counts down from there.

## Try the pill count

The pill count and running-low warnings are free.
