How can we help?

Tap + on the Today screen. Enter the name and dosage, choose the days you take it, and optionally set a notification time, an alarm, and a pill count.

On the Today screen, touch and hold the medication, then choose Edit or Delete.

It tells you what's still to take today, by part of the day: for example "Fish Oil next to take this afternoon", or "Magnesium left to take this evening" when it's the last one. If a dose from earlier in the day is still open, it says so first ("Vitamin D was due this morning").

1. Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen, then tap Edit › Add Widget.
2. Choose Daily Dose and pick a size.
3. Touch and hold the widget, tap Edit Widget, and choose a medication. Medium widgets can also show today's list; large widgets always do.

For the Lock Screen, touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customize, and add Daily Dose to the widget area.

In the app, tap the widgets button (the four squares) to choose a color, font and background for all widgets. To make one widget Bold or Minimal on its own, touch and hold it and tap Edit Widget.

Open Daily Dose for a moment. Widgets refresh whenever the app opens. iOS decides how often widgets can update in the background, so a widget can occasionally lag behind something you did elsewhere, such as checking off a dose from a notification.

• Make sure notifications are on in Settings › Notifications › Daily Dose.
• Check that the medication has a notification time set (touch and hold it › Edit).
• A reminder isn't sent for a dose you've already checked off.
• Focus modes can hold notifications back. Alarms still ring in a Focus.

Touch and hold the notification, then tap Take Now. Daily Dose opens to Today with the dose checked off, and your widgets update too. Tapping a reminder also takes you straight to Today.

An alarm can stand on its own or back up a notification, for example an alarm an hour after the reminder. It rings even in Silent mode or a Focus, unless you've already checked off the dose.

• Take Now checks off the dose and stops the alarm.
• Slide to stop snoozes it. The alarm's title says for how long; set the snooze length (1–60 minutes) when you edit the medication. Stopping an alarm never marks a dose as taken.

Alarms need permission. Turn them on in Settings › Apps › Daily Dose. While alarms are off, you'll get a notification at the alarm time instead. Alarms also don't ring for a dose that's already checked off.

On the Today screen, swipe right (or tap ‹) to go back a day, then tap the dose. You'll be asked what time you took it, or you can log it without a time. You can also tap any day in the calendar.

Open the calendar (tap the date at the top of Today, or the calendar button) and tap the day. You can change each dose's time, check off doses, and write a note for that day.

Yes. Tap a medication in the bar above the calendar, or press and slide the highlighted one across the bar. Tap All to see everything again.

In the calendar, tap the share button and choose the month you're looking at, All History, or Choose Months…. Daily Dose makes a PDF with a summary, each medication's adherence, a daily log with the time of every dose, and your notes. Then print it, save it to Files, or send it however you like.

The PDF is made on your iPhone and only goes where you send it. If a calendar filter is on, the report covers just that medication.

Turn on Track pills when you add or edit a medication. The count goes down each time you check off a dose, and comes back if you uncheck it. Set a refill alert, and Daily Dose sends one notification when you're down to that many.

Daily Dose keeps everything on your iPhone. It's included in your iPhone's backup (iCloud Backup or a backup to your computer), so restoring a new iPhone from that backup brings it along. Daily Dose doesn't sync between devices.

Delete individual medications from the Today screen (touch and hold › Delete). Deleting the Daily Dose app removes all of its information from your iPhone. See the Privacy Policy for more.
