About Pillbug: the fun meds reminder
Pillbug is a helpful little bug obsessed with one thing: making sure you take your meds and supplements on time, and actually ENJOY taking care of your health. Whether you’re managing ADHD medication, antidepressants, birth control pills or anything else, Pillbug makes staying consistent simple, private, and rewarding.
Medications are a clinical issue, but we think medication apps should not FEEL clinical, they should be fun to use. That's where Pillbug comes in.
Reliable reminders you’ll actually respond to!
Pillbug keeps you on schedule with gentle, caring reminders.
He highly recommends installing his widget so you never forget a dose. That way he’ll even tuck you into bed when you’ve had a good medication day (he’s very proud of you!)
Say goodbye to “Wait… did I take it?”
We’ve all had that stressful moment: Did you take your medication today? Should you take it now? Did you maybe already take it? You don’t want to skip it. You don’t want to double-dose. What do you do?
Pillbug fixes that!
See, logging your meds is crucial to understanding your health, but most people forget to log, or they log first and get distracted before taking their dose. Then logs become unreliable.
Pillbug’s patent-pending Scan to Log feature changes everything. Just scan any label - your bottle, pillbox, right as you take your medication.
Because if you’re right next to your meds when you log them, you’ll actually take them.
And you can trust your log completely.
Pillbug will even warn you if you’re about to take the wrong pill. He’s responsible like that.
Optional, but once you try it, you’ll never understand how you managed without it.
Don’t worry you can still log through notifications or through the app if you forget to scan.
Shared medication management (optional)
With Pillbug, medication management becomes collaborative. Perfect for families with teens or young adults, or for partners supporting each other.
More effective management without the nagging.
Privacy first

very cute option for folks like me who have several medications we need reminders to take daily! I understand there are new features coming, but even as-is this is a functional solution for anyone like me who says "did i already take this?" at least once a week.
I used Medisafe for many years, and tried out several while looking for a replacement. Pillbug has nearly all the features that Medisafe has - notify someone if you miss a dose, ability to label medications for various people/pets -when adding the med, you can call it whatever you want, including adding the name of ...
Straightforward to use and so much easier than alarms when you have multiple medications to take at different times with time gaps in between. No ads (that I have come across so far) and does what it promises without over complicating things.
Makes tracking and managing medication fun. Love that you can track your current supply, set refill reminders as well as tracking your medication compliance. Naama is lovely, open to feedback and keen to make this app the best it can be. 😊
Using this app daily now. I was forgetting to take meds all the time before. This one is good at bugging me and making sure I actually take the medication. Now I rely on it. No ads, easy to use and set up.
Loving it! Clean, unobtrusive, delightful app. Just what you need for your critical health reminders and nothing more or less - which is key when you have a lot else going on. The blue bug really cares for you, and frankly, you very quickly start caring for it as well :). Bravo!
