PillTap
A daily medication reminder with one-tap logging from the notification, a Lock Screen widget, and Live Activity.
Overview
PillTap helps you avoid missed doses with simple daily medication reminders. Set your medication times once, and PillTap will remind you every day at the times you choose — morning, noon, night, and bedtime. It is built for medicines and supplements you take at the same times every day.
Marking a dose as taken is optional and used only for your own record. You can tap Taken right from the notification without opening the app. Reminders continue to repeat unless you turn off a scheduled time or delete the medication. An optional follow-up reminder can sound 15 minutes later.
A Lock Screen widget shows your next dose, and a Live Activity appears shortly before it is time. PillTap does not provide medical advice, assess conditions, or recommend how to take medication; always follow instructions from your doctor, pharmacist, or healthcare provider.

- Users who want a simple reminder rather than a complex health tracking system
- People who take medication at the same times every day
