From today's doses to family peace of mind — swipe through the actual app.
Simple enough to set up in 30 seconds. Powerful enough to look after a whole family.
Most apps send one quiet notification you swipe away half-asleep. PillPal keeps nudging — escalating until you actually confirm the dose.
See that mom took her meds today. Get alerted the moment a dose is missed.
Know before you run out — never get stuck without your medication.
Every dose logged automatically, with streaks that keep you consistent.
Your full intake history in one tap — perfect for the next appointment.
Track mom, dad, and a child separately — one calm app for the whole family.
Log a dose from your wrist or the Lock Screen, without unlocking your phone.
Large text, high contrast, and a setup so simple any age can do it.
No ads. Your data stays yours, encrypted in transit, exportable anytime.
Name, dose, and schedule — under 30 seconds. Set a reminder window so you take it within a range, not at one rigid minute.
When it's time, PillPal escalates the reminder instead of giving up after one ping — so a half-asleep swipe doesn't cost you a dose.
Confirm with one tap. Adherence is logged, refills are watched, and chosen family members can see it all.
Caring for a parent from another city is stressful. PillPal lets you quietly watch over a loved one's medication and alerts you the moment a dose is missed — so you can step in early, not after.
