Dosefully: Safe Med Dosing
Smart family medicine tracker
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tired parents shouldn't have to do mental math at 3am. Dosefully tracks children's medications so you never give too much, too close together.
Most medication trackers ask "Did you take it?" We ask "Should you take it yet?" – because with children, the risk isn't missing a dose, it's giving too much too soon.
WHAT MAKES DOSEFULLY DIFFERENT
• ROLLING 24-HOUR LIMITS – Not a midnight reset. If you give Tylenol at 11pm, you can't give another at 12am. The app enforces a true 24-hour window.
• STAGGER WARNINGS – Alternating acetaminophen and ibuprofen? Dosefully warns if you're giving them too close together.
• REAL-TIME FAMILY SYNC – Share an invite code with your partner. Both parents see who gave what, when, and to which child.
• OFFLINE MODE – Log doses anywhere. Syncs automatically when you're back online.
• DOCTOR EXPORT – Export a dose history report for appointments.
• CUSTOM MEDICINES – Add any medication with your own rules: minimum interval, max daily doses, category.
Pre-loaded templates for common children's medicines — including acetaminophen, ibuprofen, antihistamines, and more. You control the rules — always follow the medicine label.
PRICING THAT'S FAIR
• Free: 1 child, 2 medicines, 7-day history, all safety features – forever.
• Plus: $1.99/month or $9.99/year – unlimited children, full history, family sync, exports.
• Lifetime: $19.99 one-time – pay once, use forever.
No ads. Ever.
Safety features never paywalled.
WHO IS DOSEFULLY FOR?
• Parents juggling fever and pain relief.
• Families managing daily medications with strict timing.
• Anyone caring for a child who needs safe, scheduled medication tracking.
Dosefully is a household safety aid, not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice. Always read the medicine label and consult a pharmacist or doctor if unsure.

more - Notification time zone bug fix
1.12.10 Jul 15
*A redesigned Today screen*
- Bigger, clearer medicine cards with a full-width "Log Dose" button in each medicine's own colour, plus dose dots that show at a glance how many of today's doses have been given and how many are left
- Each person's name now carries a live status — a "well" streak when they're healthy, or which day of an illness you're on
- Clearer empty states, tidier filters, and a full accessibility pass so the dashboard reads correctly with VoiceOver
*Logging a dose that isn't due yet (new)*
- Medicines that aren't due yet now offer "Log Early" or "Log Extra" instead of only showing a time or a countdown — recording a dose that really happened has always been allowed, and now it's obvious that you can. The safety check before a dose is saved is unchanged
- When medicines that share an active ingredient reach their combined daily limit, the Today screen now names the medicine that used it up
*Temperature chart*
- The fever threshold now stays in view, so a run of normal readings looks reassuringly flat instead of an alarming climb
- Expand the chart full-screen, and turn on dose markers to see which doses line up with each reading **(new)**
*Lock Screen Live Activity (iOS)*
- The Live Activity no longer takes over the Dynamic Island every time you open the app, and it stays readable for an hour after a dose is due instead of fading at the very moment it tells you the dose is ready
- Choose how close a dose has to be before it appears — within 1, 2 or 4 hours, or always **(new)**
- Live Activity and critical alerts now sit together in Settings, each with a simple on/off switch alongside the per-person controls
*Family, medicines & history*
- A rebuilt family member screen with quick access to Medicines, Notes and Sharing, and a cleaner "Add person" screen
- Stagger guidance now appears right where you pick the dose time — and only when someone actually has two or more medicines of the same type
- History loads older doses in batches and shows which day of an illness each dose belongs to
- A one-time reminder that daily vitamins, supplements and antihistamines can be tracked here too **(new)**
*Fixes*
- Corrected card borders on the dashboard and chart colours in dark mode
- General performance and security hardening
1.12.8 Jul 12
*Double-dose protection across medicines (new)*
- Dosefully now recognises when different medicines share the same active ingredient — for example, plain Paracetamol and a combined Paracetamol + Codeine both count toward the same paracetamol limit. Dose timings and daily limits are now worked out across every medicine that shares an ingredient, so you can't accidentally double up
- When you add a medicine, Dosefully detects the active ingredient from its name — including common brands and shortenings like "Calpol" or "para" — and lets you confirm it, so this protection knows what's in each medicine
- Medicines with names like "Plus", "Extra" or "+" now show a gentle reminder to check their ingredients, since these often contain more than one active ingredient
- When medicines that share an ingredient reach their combined daily limit, the Today screen now shows this clearly instead of looking like doses are still available
*Offline improvements*
- Opening the app while offline now keeps your correct plan and features — paid users are no longer briefly shown the free tier on a cold start
- Quiet hours and custom tags now load correctly offline, and the welcome/tutorial screen no longer reappears for existing users when offline
*Fixes*
- New accounts created without a display name now fall back to your username instead of appearing blank
- General performance and security hardening
1.12.2 Jul 8
- **Co-carer alerts, per person (new)** — Choose which family members you get dose alerts for. Mute your own routine medicines while staying notified the moment a co-carer doses one of your children. (Plus, households with 2+ carers)
- **Light, Dark & Auto themes (new)** — A simple Light / Dark / Auto switch in Settings. Auto follows your phone's system appearance automatically
- **Always-visible sync status (new)** — A tap-to-refresh "Synced just now" line under the header on every screen, and it tells you when you're offline
- **Fixes** — No more screen flash when the app refreshes in the background; archived medicines no longer appear on the lock screen; more reliable push notifications; general performance and security hardening
1.11.3 Jul 1
*Illness Episodes & Tracking*
- Enhanced the Illness Episodes screen with improved layouts and smoother navigation
- Added a dedicated empty state illustration and message to the Episodes list to guide you when starting out
*Schedule & History*
- Polished the layout and tracking performance across both the Schedule and History screens
- For daily routine medicines, missed doses are now clearly displayed directly in your schedule view so you never lose track
*Dashboard & Interface*
- Added a brand new "All Clear" state to the Today tab when no doses are due or remaining for the day
- Profile avatars without a custom photo now display as a sleek colored circle featuring the child's initial instead of a generic placeholder icon
*Dose & Vaccination Logging*
- Added precise haptic feedback to the dose logging flow, providing a reassuring physical confirmation when saving entries
- Improved the Vaccination logging modal with better spacing and clearer input fields
*Fixes*
- Fixed a bug where navigating away from a deleted dose too quickly could sometimes erroneously restore that dose on the timeline
- General performance optimisations and minor bug fixes across the app
1.11.2 Jun 25
* **Co-carer Alerts:** Get instant notifications when another carer logs a dose to prevent accidental double-dosing. Toggle in Settings.
* **Weekly Health Digest:** Optional Sunday summary of your child's week (doses, fever patterns).

* **Live Sync:** Today tab auto-refreshes every 90 seconds.
* **Dose Logging Improvements:** Collapse unavailable medicines; see explicit time elapsed for "too soon" warnings; grouped by category.
* **Wellness Streak:** Routine/daily meds no longer reset streaks. Banner shows from Day 1.
* **Dark Widgets:** Home and lock screen widgets now feature a dark appearance.
* **Fixes:** Fixed "too soon" timing display, archived medicines in widgets, and note timestamp resets on edit.
1.11.0 Jun 23
*Scheduled medicines & courses*
- Scheduled medicines (such as antibiotics or antihistamines) can now have specific recommended dose times — for example, 08:00 and 20:00 for a twice-daily medicine. The app pre-fills sensible defaults based on standard dosing guidance
- Each medicine card now shows the next scheduled dose time at a glance for medicines in scheduled mode
- The schedule now shows upcoming doses at their recommended times rather than just "tomorrow". The final dose of a fixed-length course is tagged "Last dose" so you know when you're done
- The combined schedule now places every scheduled dose at its exact recommended time across the day, instead of grouping them together — making it much easier to see what's due and when
- For fixed-length courses (such as a 5-day antibiotic), the schedule now shows only the remaining doses and stops projecting once the course is complete — no more phantom future doses
- Push notifications and reminders now respect the course end date and will not prompt for doses after a course has finished
- When a fixed-length course completes, a banner now offers to archive the medicine in one tap. Dose history is preserved and the medicine can be restored at any time
*Smarter dose logging*
- Dose-timing warnings are now consistent across every medicine. Instead of hard-blocking some doses, the app shows a clear warning and always lets you confirm and log the actual time a dose was given — so your log stays accurate even when a dose was given early or off-schedule. A reminder to check the label and consult your pharmacist or GP is shown when relevant
- The live warning shown while you pick a time now uses exactly the same safety logic as logging, so it's always accurate — for example, it no longer shows a false "too soon" warning for a twice-daily scheduled medicine
- Two different antihistamines set to scheduled mode now correctly prevent each other from being given at the same time, consistent with how this safety rule works in standard (interval) mode
*Fixes*
- Fixed: archived medicines could still trigger reminder notifications — they are now correctly silenced
- Fixed: the "course finished" banner (and its one-tap Archive option) could appear before the final day's doses had actually been logged. It now waits until the last day's doses are done before offering to archive
1.10.11 Jun 10
- Medicine cards have been redesigned with a cleaner, more compact mobile layout and a colour-coded left border — green for available, amber for waiting
- Available and waiting medicines are now clearly divided into sections on the home screen and when logging a dose
- Medicines are grouped by category when selecting one to log, matching the layout on the home screen
- A "Next: [medicine] at [time]" pill now appears on the Today tab so you can see at a glance when the next dose is due
- When no medicines are currently available, the log screen now highlights this clearly and prevents logging until a medicine is chosen
- Dose history now shows who administered each dose or note
- You can now create custom tags for notes, saved across your household
- Critical alert settings can now be configured per child on iOS (allows important reminders to sound even when Do Not Disturb is on)

What's new in 1.7.3
A friendlier, easier-to-read home screen.
• Family member cards on the dashboard can be re arranged.
• Daily Overview, in plain English — A new summary tells you at a glance what your child has had today and what they can still have if they need it.
