Pill reminder app free for iPhone and Android (with your BP diary)

A pill reminder app free for iPhone and Android is worth using when the nudge sits in the same place as the home readings. Blood Snap sends dose remindersfor medicines you add, then shows today's progress on the Home adherence card, next to blood pressure and blood sugar. The free plan covers 2 medicines.

The reminder is a personal prompt at a clock time you picked. It is not a pharmacy alert, not a check that the dose is safe with another medicine, and not advice to start, stop, or change anything. The schedule still comes from your prescription and your care team.

What the free reminder does

• Stores the medicine name and the dose text you enter from the label.
• Notifies you on the days and times you set, on iPhone or Android.
• Lets you mark a dose Taken or Skipped.
• Shows today's taken count on the Home card, beside the BP and sugar diary.

The same idea, in shorter form, is the free pill reminder in Blood Snap. Pairing doses with readings is covered in the medicine tracker with blood pressure and sugar logs.

iPhone and Android use the same habit

Add the medicine once on the phone you carry. The notification is local to that device. Allow notifications when the system asks, or the reminder is saved and never shown. There is no separate reminder subscription and no second app for the other phone platform. The diary you already use for home readings is the reminder list.

Open More Health → Medicine, add the medicine manually, and set the times to match the label. Morning, with food, or at bedtime means the instruction your clinician or pharmacist gave you. Blood Snap does not choose a default dose.

Free for two medicines

Label scan on Pro suggests a name and dose from the box or bottle. You review every field before it saves. Two medicines is enough for many home routines. A longer list is the Pro unlock, not a second subscription inside the reminder itself.

Set the reminder from the label, not from memory

1. Read the current prescription label or the list your clinician wrote.
2. Add the medicine in More Health → Medicine. Check the spelling and the dose text.
3. Set reminder times that match that label, including which days of the week if it is not every day.
4. When the notification appears, take the dose only as prescribed, then mark it taken if you did.
5. Log blood pressure or blood sugar when your care plan ties a reading to that time of day.

Marking a dose skipped is for a dose you did not take. The app records your mark. It does not tell you whether to take the next one early, double it, or wait. That answer is on the label or with your pharmacist or clinician.

The Home card shows the day, not a score you must chase

After reminders are set, Home shows how many of today's scheduled doses are marked taken, and it points at the next dose or one that is overdue. That card is a glance. It is not a grade, and a missed notification is not proof about your health. The adherence tracker explains taken versus missed in more detail, and medicine reminders and adherence tracking walks through the same tools.

A reminder cannot replace the prescription

• It does not decide the dose, the clock time, or what to do after a miss.
• It does not check interactions, allergies, or refills with a pharmacy.
• It does not know a dose was swallowed unless you mark it.
• Feeling unwell after a medicine needs your clinician or local emergency care, not a notification setting.

Use a free pill reminder on iPhone or Android. Dose notifications for up to 2 medicines sit beside your blood pressure and sugar diary. You set the times. Not a pharmacy system, and not a medical device.

Educational information with public guideline citations. Not medical advice and not a diagnosis. Blood Snap is a personal wellness diary — not a medical device, blood pressure machine, glucometer, or CGM. Always follow your clinician's advice.
