PillChime - Pill Reminder
Keep your health on track.
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Your parents' phone is on silent. Standard reminders are just notifications — they swipe them away.
PillChime uses iOS 26 system alarm technology to ring through silent mode, Do Not Disturb, and Focus. It actually wakes them up.
Built by a solo developer for his own parents.

HOW IT WORKS
Set a medication → Pick a time → Done.
When it's time, PillChime rings just like your morning alarm. Full screen. Can't miss it.
One tap to log. One tap to skip. That's your entire routine.

WHAT MAKES PILLCHIME DIFFERENT
• System-level alarm, not a notification
Silent mode? Still rings. Focus mode? Still rings.
• One-tap check-in
Alarm rings → tap "Take" → dose logged. 2 seconds.
• Weekly report card
See your progress at a glance. Day, week, or month.
Know exactly what was taken and what was missed.
• Follows your text size
PillChime respects your system font settings.
Make it bigger. It just works.
• Built for elderly users
Large buttons. Minimal steps. No learning curve.
If they can use an alarm clock, they can use PillChime.

Ratings & Reviews
• Fixed a rare case where a reminder could go off on the wrong day or time. Reminders now arrive on the days you set.
• Fixed a rare error screen that could show up right after restarting your iPhone. Your pill history was always safe.
• Check-in records are more accurate, including check-ins made around midnight.
• Apple Watch check-ins now sync to your iPhone more reliably.
• Home screen widgets update correctly at the start of each day.
