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.
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.

For the first time in my life I have meds I have to remember! I got so frustrated with the common “don’t forget” tactics people suggested. Of course I set phone alarms but those can be snoozed and I get so easily distracted by the time the alarm goes off again I’m wondering “wait … did I take the meds?? Or am I just thinking I did bc the alarm went off once already…” I needed a visual representation of each pilled logged with push reminders! Every other med reminder app is extremely clinical and boring which didn’t encourage me to log. This app is perfect. It’s cute so it’s memorable. And I can SEE that I logged each pill even when my days blend together. Haven’t missed a pill or doubted my memory of taking one since I got this app!!

So far I LOVE IT! I am horrible at remembering my medications. I tend to tell myself “I should take my meds” and then proceeds to get distracted. I really like the layout of the app and especially the fact I can invite someone to join my tracking journey. It allows me to have a second pair of eyes in case I forgot and it reassures my spouse I’m on top of everything. (They used to be my reminder now and they can just relax!). The scan the label option is really handy because it makes me take action, which helps following through taking the medication as well as verifies my second guessing mind. Such a great app

The app is easy to use. All the medications that I use are on the app. I love that the medications are alphabetically listed. I love that I have the choice to choose what days and times I take my meds. I love that I can use speech to text. I love that I can share this app withothers of my choosing.I would like the alarm to last longer than just a couple of beeps .

This app is super cute, and genuinely helpful. I really like that it has a scanning option for recording your meds, and I really really like that it reminds you big doesn’t feel obnoxious or instructive (like my regular alarms). Honestly just the banner on my home screen is enough to make me go take my meds- I don’t want Pillbug to be disappointed in me haha
Developer Response
