Reminders

A pill reminder app that keeps your lock screen private

Add a medication, a supplement or HRT with its times. When one is due you get a plain reminder, tap Taken from the notification or your watch, and the dose goes into your history.

The short answer

Her Good Days is a free medication reminder app for pills, supplements and hormone therapy. You set each schedule, the phone reminds you with text that never names the medicine, and one tap on Taken logs the dose.

Around a dose time, Medication moves to the top of your Log menu. Taken doses show in your weekly summary and the doctor report.

What can you get reminded about?

Step 3

Tap Taken

When it rings, mark it on the notification or in the app. A missed dose stays open, with no red.

What does the lock screen show?

The same few lines for everyone: "Time for your scheduled reminder", "Time for your check-in", "Your weekly summary is ready". Nobody glancing at your phone learns that you take HRT, that you are pregnant or what you weigh.

What happens if I miss a dose?

The entry stays open until you mark it taken or skipped. There is no warning color and no streak to lose. Your history shows the gap, which is useful to mention at your next appointment.

Questions

Will the notification name my medication?

No. It reads "Time for your scheduled reminder". The name only shows inside the app, after you unlock your phone.

Do reminders work without internet?

Yes. They are scheduled on your phone, so they arrive in airplane mode and when you have no signal.

Can I set a reminder that isn't daily?

Yes. Pick the days of the week, or every few days for something like a patch change.

Does the app check doses or drug interactions?

No. It reminds and records what your prescriber or pharmacist told you to take. Ask them about doses and interactions.

Is it free?

Yes, with no limit on the number of medications or reminders.
