Hi everyone!
I used to take daily medications for two different conditions. I set individual alarms for each pill to keep track of what to take and when.

But over time, I started feeling this weird anxiety and confusion - I would look at my daily list of pills and completely lose track of why I was taking them, or which condition they were actually for.

Initially, I built a medication tracker just for myself to relieve that anxiety and make things clear. I wanted a system where every single time I took a dose, I knew exactly what it was and why I had to take it.

I figured a lot of people might be dealing with this same overwhelming feeling, so I decided to share the app I built. The core feature is grouping medications into prescriptions.

Instead of a long, confusing list of individual pills, Doz organizes your meds into folders based on the actual prescription. It works exactly how real life does:

• You have a condition (e.g., "Headache").
• You create a folder for it.
• You put all related meds inside that folder.

With Doz, you have a minimalist UI/UX that visually structures this hierarchy perfectly.

If you or your loved ones are juggling multiple prescriptions, give Doz a try to organize everything and reduce that mental load.

I’d love to hear your feedback, especially if you manage medications for yourself or your family.
Thanks for reading, and I really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

A — Answer

Hey everyone,

I'm the solo developer behind Doz, a medication reminder app I originally built because I couldn't keep my own prescriptions straight. I've posted here before, and this community has been a big part of how the app got better.

Doz has now passed 2,000 active users with a 4.8 average rating. All of it is organic and word of mouth — I haven't spent a single cent on ads. I really appreciate that.

Here's the part that matters to me: roughly 40% of those users came from Reddit — from people here trying it, telling me what was broken, and telling someone else about it.

So I want to give something back: there's a 30% off offer code for Doz Pro at the bottom of this post. It works for everyone, it's good for 3 days, and you don't need to comment or DM me for it.

B — Better

Most medication apps I tried treat every pill as an isolated task: "take one at 8:00 AM." Real prescriptions aren't like that. Medications belong to the same treatment; they have food timing, they run out, they need refilling early, and they end.

Doz is built around prescriptions, not a flat list of reminders. You create a prescription, put the related medications and instructions inside it, and follow the treatment as a whole instead of decoding a long list of individual pills.

What's new since my last post — all of it built on feedback from people here:

Prescriptions now behave like actual prescriptions. This was the most-loved feature, so it got the most work:

• Prescriptions have a duration and an end date
• You can attach your doctor's name and contact details
• You can mark a prescription as completed and keep it archived

Notifications and refills:

• More reliable follow-up reminders for missed doses
• Improved low-stock and refill alerts so you're warned before you run out, not after
• Clearer at-a-glance stock levels

Plus the foundation from before: daily and flexible non-daily schedules, before/with/after-meal reminders, Critical Alerts that get through Silent and Focus modes, adherence insights, Home Screen widgets, iCloud sync with data staying on your device, eight languages, no ads, no account required.

Coming next, aimed at making it easier to actually take the dose rather than just be reminded of it:

• Apple Health sync
• Mark a dose taken straight from the notification
• Mark a dose taken from Apple Watch

C — Cost

Doz is free to use with:

• Up to 4 active medications and 1 active prescription
• All schedule modes
• Reminders and dose logging
• 7-day progress tracking
• Inventory tracking and low-stock alerts

Doz Pro is designed for people with more complex routines, helping you stay consistent, avoid missed doses, and manage everything with less effort:

• Unlimited medications and prescriptions so you can track everything in one place
• Critical Alerts and smarter follow-up reminders to reduce missed doses
• Detailed adherence insights to understand how well you’re following each treatment
• Full progress history for long-term tracking
• Meal-time synchronization for better timing accuracy
• Faster dose logging directly from Home Screen widgets
• Archived treatment management to keep past prescriptions organized
• Custom alert sounds for clearer, more noticeable reminders

Pricing:

• Monthly: $2.99
• Yearly: $9.99, 3-day free trial
• Lifetime: $19.99

All paid plans support Apple Family Sharing.

If you manage medications for yourself or someone in your family, I'd really like to hear what still doesn't work for you. Every feature above came from someone saying exactly that.

And if you're already using Doz and it's been helping, a rating or a short review on the App Store would mean a lot. As a solo developer with no ad budget, reviews are pretty much the only way new people find the app — and honest feedback in a review tells me what to fix next just as well as a comment here does. Thanks for reading!!

That one change fixed more missed doses for me than any alarm ever did.

Here's why. An alarm has to ask for your attention, and you can say no to it — usually while half asleep, usually while telling yourself you'll do it in five minutes. A bottle sitting next to your coffee machine doesn't ask. It's just there, in the middle of something you already do every single morning without thinking.

Three anchors worth trying this week:

☀️ Morning meds → beside the kettle or coffee maker
🌙 Evening meds → beside your toothbrush or phone charger
🍽️ With-food meds → a small tin that lives on the dining table

The rule underneath all of it: anchor to an action, not a time. Times slip — you wake up late, a meeting runs over, the weekend happens. Brushing your teeth doesn't slip.

Where do you keep yours? 👇 I'm collecting the good ones — someone told me last week they keep theirs next to the dog's food bowl, because the dog is never late.
