DoseDrop
DoseDrop reminds you to take your tablets and drink water, and it keeps reminding you until you answer. Every dose and every cup is logged, so you can see your streaks and how many doses you took each week.
A reminder tool, not medical advice
DoseDrop reminds you of a schedule you enter yourself. It does not give medical advice, check doses or warn about interactions. Follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions, and do not rely on any app as your only reminder for a medicine you cannot miss.
Who it is for
- People who take regular medicines or supplements and want a reminder that does not disappear after one swipe.
- Carers setting up a phone for someone who needs a firm nudge.
- Anyone who forgets to drink water during the day.
What it does
| Feature | What it means |
|---|---|
| Reminders that repeat | A dose alerts at its time, then again every few minutes until you choose Taken, Snooze 10 min or Skip. |
| Missed doses | A dose you never answer is marked missed after a grace window, so your history stays honest. |
| Full-screen alarm | While DoseDrop is open, a due dose fills the screen instead of hiding in a notification. |
| Water reminders | Reminders at an interval during your active hours, a daily goal in ml, one-tap logging and undo. |
| History | Current and best streak, 7-day adherence, weekly charts, and a day-by-day breakdown. |
| Themes | Light, dark or follow the system. |
Adherence means the share of scheduled doses you actually took.
Privacy
DoseDrop has no account, no ads, no analytics and makes no network connections. Your medicines, schedule and history are stored in one file on your device and are never sent anywhere.
Notification text includes the medicine's name and dose, so it can show on your lock screen, depending on your phone's settings. The data file is not encrypted; it is protected by your device's lock like your other files.
Platforms
- Android: reminders fire even when the app is closed.
- Linux desktop (x64): DoseDrop runs in the system tray, and reminders fire while it is running.
