PillPal: Pill & Med Reminder

🔊 WAKE-UP ALARM FOR YOUR MEDICATION (PillPal Pro)
Mark a medication as "critical" and PillPal rings like a real alarm clock — a looping alarm tone that breaks through silent mode, with your own message cutting in over it every few seconds. For your most important pills, it launches a full-screen alarm over the lock screen, impossible to miss or swipe away by accident.


🎤 RECORD YOUR OWN REMINDER MESSAGE (PillPal Pro)
Tired of generic chimes? Record any voice message — yours, your partner's, your child's, your doctor's — and PillPal plays it when the reminder fires. Perfect for caregivers reminding elderly parents, or for hearing a familiar voice instead of a beep. The voice cuts in over a gentle alarm tone, just like the Android alarm clock that announces the time.


RELIABLE REMINDERS
• Time-of-day and weekday schedules.
• Multi-slot dosing (morning, noon, evening) per medication.

MULTIPLE PROFILES

HEALTH JOURNAL
Track what matters between reminders:
• Blood pressure (systolic/diastolic, with at-rest / after-exertion context for pulse).
• Blood sugar.
• Weight, water intake, mood, sleep duration, pain level.
• Free-text notes per dose or per day.
• Out-of-range values get a yellow ("elevated") or red ("critical") advisory marker based on public guideline thresholds.

CALENDAR & DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS
• Monthly overview of your medication days at a glance.

HISTORY & EXPORT

• PDF and CSV export of dose and journal history (Pro) — perfect for sharing with your doctor.


NOTIFICATION ACTIONS (PillPal Pro)
Taken, Skipped or Snooze — straight from the notification, without opening the app.


SIDE-EFFECT FOLLOW-UP (PillPal Pro)
For new medications, get a follow-up notification a few hours after a dose, asking how you feel. Track side effects in context.

REMINDERS NOT FIRING?
Some Android phones (Xiaomi, Samsung, Huawei, Honor) aggressively close background apps to save battery. PillPal walks you through whitelisting itself in your device's battery settings — a one-time setup that fixes the problem.

PillPal is not a medical device and does not replace professional medical advice. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's guidance.
