As Needed.
Quickly manage As Needed meds
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Track as-needed doses, see when you last took them, and spot patterns over time. Set reminders that work for you, with accessible controls and free medication tracking.
As-needed medication doesn't always fit a daily schedule. AsNeeded makes it easy to keep track of what you took, when you took it, and how it went, with a clear history you can come back to. Log a dose, add the details you care about, and get on with your day.
MAKE A QUICK NOTE
- Log a dose now, or backdate an entry you forgot to record.
- Use your prescribed amount and unit, including fractional doses.
- Hold a medication's Log button to record its default dose, and use Undo if needed.
- Add a reason or notes, rate symptoms and effectiveness, and record any side effects.
- Find medication names through NIH RxNorm, or enter your own. Add a nickname, color, and icon to make medications easier to recognize in your list.
SEE YOUR HISTORY CLEARLY
- Find doses and notes by medication and date.
- Explore usage charts over 14, 30, or 90 complete days.
- Keep track of remaining quantities and refill dates.
- Export a clinician report when you want to share your records.
KEEP YOUR INSTRUCTIONS HANDY
Add an optional minimum interval between doses, a rolling 24-hour quantity limit, or both. AsNeeded uses your saved settings and recorded doses to show the next saved dose window. Scheduled reminders and optional next-dose alerts can help you keep those details handy.
These are your saved instructions, not medical clearance. Guidance can't account for doses you haven't logged or determine whether a medication is safe for you. Follow your prescription and care team's advice.
LOG WHERE IT WORKS FOR YOU
- Log a prescribed dose from a notification after authentication, when saved-guidance checks allow it. You'll get confirmation when it saves. If the dose needs review, open the app to check it.
- Choose whether medication names appear in notifications.
- Open a medication's dose form from widgets, use Siri Shortcuts, or record with the paired Apple Watch app.
- Use larger text, Dark Mode, VoiceOver labels, and accessible font choices, including Atkinson Hyperlegible.
- Turn on temporary Demo Mode to hide medication names while showing someone the app. It resets when the app relaunches.
KEEP YOUR RECORDS YOUR WAY
Medication history and trends stay in local app storage unless you choose to share or back up your records. Paired Watch features transfer information between your devices. Export JSON backups, or choose a local or cloud-backed folder for optional automatic backups. Medication recording and history work offline. Search, purchases, and some sharing destinations need a connection.
Medication lookup sends search text to NIH RxNorm. Optional support purchases use Apple and RevenueCat, which process anonymous app identifiers, purchase records, and technical service information. Medication history is not sent to RevenueCat. See the privacy policy for details.
FREE TRACKING, OPTIONAL SUPPORT
All tracking features are free, with no ads or premium feature tiers. Optional tips and recurring support subscriptions help fund development, but don't unlock features. Apple shows each purchase's price and billing period before you confirm. You can manage or cancel recurring support in your Apple subscriptions settings.
