Medicine Reminder

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Your data stays on your phone

You do not need to create an account. Your medicines, boxes, reminder schedules, intake history, settings and box photos are stored only on this device.

This information is not sent to us or to any other server. If you delete the app, this data is deleted too.

Backup file

When you tap “Export backup”, your data is written to a file, and you choose where to save it or who to share it with. The file is not encrypted; since it contains health information, keep it somewhere you trust.

Camera and photos

The camera is used only when you scan a barcode/QR code or add a photo to a box. Scanned codes and photos are processed on the device and are not sent anywhere.

Notifications

Reminders are scheduled with your phone’s local notification system; no internet or server is used for this.

Ads (free version)

The free version shows banner ads through Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, AdMob may collect the device’s advertising ID, approximate location (from the IP address) and app interaction data.

Your medicine, schedule and history information is not shared with the ad provider. On first launch you are asked for consent to personalized ads; if you decline, non-personalized ads are shown. There are no ads in the Premium version.

Purchases

Premium is purchased through the App Store / Google Play; we do not see your payment details. The store verifies and restores the purchase directly on your device; purchase information is not sent to us or to any other service.

Medicine information

The Turkish medicine list and side-effect information come with the app; no internet connection is used when you search while Türkiye is selected. This side-effect information is compiled from the patient information leaflets of the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency (TİTCK). For other countries, the source is shown next to the medicine.

The app does not give medical advice and does not suggest doses or treatment length. For anything about your medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Medicine database download and online search

If a country other than Türkiye is selected (based on the phone's region or in Settings), that country's medicine list and side-effect information is downloaded once from our server in the background and updated monthly. In this download, the only thing known is which country's data was requested.

If the medicine you are looking for is not in the list on your phone and there is an internet connection, only the search text you typed or the barcode number you scanned is sent to our server. No account, device ID, medicine list, plans or history is sent; the server does not log these queries. The information of the medicine found is saved on your phone.

The server runs on Cloudflare; during the connection, your IP address technically reaches Cloudflare, but it is not stored on our side.

Children

The app is not intended for children under 13.
