Cadence tracks your medications and shows you how they affect your health. Set up your pills, vitamins or supplements in seconds, get smart reminders that adapt to when you actually take them and discover patterns between what you take and how you feel.
Scan a prescription label to add medications instantly. Swipe to confirm each dose. See how your adherence connects to your sleep, heart rate, blood pressure and 10 other health metrics from Apple Health.
Your data stays on your device and syncs privately via iCloud. No account required, no servers, no ads.
REMINDERS THAT WORK
Smart notifications that learn your timing patterns and adjust automatically. Confirm, skip or snooze from the lock screen without opening the app. Follow-up alerts if a dose is missed. Dose windows that give you flexibility instead of marking you late for being 10 minutes off schedule.
TRACK MORE THAN DOSES
Log mood, energy and symptoms with a quick daily check-in. See which behaviours help and which hurt with behaviour impact analysis. Get alerts when your medications may interact with each other. Track your supply and get refill reminders before you run out.
SEE WHAT YOUR MEDICATIONS ARE DOING
Cadence connects your medication adherence to real health data. See correlations between your doses and heart rate, sleep, blood pressure, HRV, blood glucose, weight, respiratory rate and more. View per-medication health timelines showing what changed since you started each one. Generate appointment-ready PDF reports with adherence data, health patterns, skip reasons and timing consistency to share with your doctor.
YOUR JOURNEY
Every dose confirmed carries you further along a visual mountain trail. Watch the seasons shift, hit milestones, earn achievements and share them with friends. See your progress come alive over days, weeks and months.

Cadence is easily one of the best-designed medication reminder apps I’ve ever used. The interface is clean, modern, intuitive, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. You can tell a huge amount of thought and care went into both the UI and the overall user experience. What really impressed me is how feature-rich the app is without ever feeling cluttered or overwhelming. Medication scheduling is flexible, reminders are reliable, and the Apple Health integration is fantastic. I also love the privacy-first approach with no unnecessary accounts or subscriptions pushed on you. The prescription label scanning, lock screen actions, Apple Watch support, and insightful health tracking make this app feel incredibly polished and premium. It solves a real problem in a smart and elegant way. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a medication reminder app that is both powerful and beautifully designed. Absolutely deserving of five stars!I just bought an Apple Watch 10. I can't wait to integrate this fantastic app Cadence with my new (first one) Apple Watch.

Don’t waste your money

Every time I try to scan a label it just sits there like a three year old waiting for you to give it food. When you finally put a new bottle on n front of it, magically it decides to recognize it as the bottle you had been waiting for previously. However, you can’t be certain if it’s going to import all the correct dosage information for the container you just had. The trick here is scanning bottles so you don’t have to enter information manually, otherwise it’s no different than any other app in the field, and at the moment, it’s not better than any of them. If I could get a refund I would.

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.Improving the scanning feature is something I’m actively working on, and notes like yours help. If you have specific suggestions, the in-app feature request form is the best way to get them to me directly.For what it’s worth the core app stays free for life, including all logging and tracking, and the Pro trial (7days) is built in so the insights features can be tested before paying. If the app is not the right fit for you despite testing it and then purchasing Pro, Apple can process a refund directly.All the best.
