For anyone on a medication schedule
Set the time once. When a dose is due, Sonadose takes over the screen like an alarm clock, not a quiet notification you can miss, and keeps reminding you until it's confirmed, on a schedule you control.

It's almost never stubbornness. It's a phone call in the middle of breakfast, a nap that runs long, a new box that looks exactly like the old one.
Sonadose is built for that moment instead: loud, full screen, and it does not give up after one notification.
of people living with a long-term condition do not take their medicines as prescribed.
World Health OrganizationFour things it gets right. Everything else is underneath.
Add your mother's medications on your phone; she sees them on hers. You are told when a dose is missed. Reminders ring on one phone per profile: the one you choose. Nobody is woken twice, and your own phones stay in step.
Exact alarms that survive a reboot and a battery saver. Repeats until the dose is confirmed, on whatever interval you choose. A built-in reliability check, and a battery guide written for your phone's brand.
Every medication, every profile, the whole reminder engine. An account is needed only to share a profile or sync your own phones.
Tell it the pack size once. Sonadose counts down and reminds you to buy the next box before the last pill goes.
3 left. Time to reorder before the box runs out.
Four screens, one job each.
Smaller, but not an afterthought. Each one shipped because a real week needed it.

Medications and history stay on the device, never sold.
Your medication list, schedules and intake history are kept on the device, and no account is needed to use the app. Medication and profile names are never sent to analytics or advertisers, and your data is never sold.
One thing does leave the phone, and it is not medical: crash and usage statistics through Google Firebase. They carry a technical identifier for the installation, not for you. The detail is in the privacy policy.
Yes, and there is nothing to buy. There is no paid tier, no subscription and no advertising. Every profile, every medication, the full reminder engine, and family sharing with its alerts are all included. Nothing about the reminding is held back.
A pill box organises the week, but it cannot remind anyone. Dispensers with a built-in alarm can, except they have to be bought and then carried around.
Sonadose does the same job on the phone they already own: a full-screen alarm that repeats, and a history you can look back at.
Android 8.0 (Oreo) and newer. There's no iPhone version. Reminder delivery is tested hardest on Samsung and Huawei, the brands most aggressive about shutting down background apps.
No. The schedule, the reminders and the history all work offline, and no account is needed for any of it. A connection is used to install the app and — only if you switch it on — to share a profile with someone.
Yes. The reminder takes over the whole screen and rings on the alarm channel, like an alarm clock, so silent mode doesn't mute it.
Android asks for a couple of permissions the first time (exact alarms and full-screen notifications), and the setup walks through them one at a time.
Sonadose comes back in fifteen minutes and repeats twice more. Nothing is ever silently marked as taken, and Later stays available until the intake window closes.
Yes. Plenty of people run Sonadose on their own phone as a personal reminder, or set up a parent's phone and hand it back.
Without an account the schedule stays on the phone it was set up on. With one, it follows your own phones, and a parent can share their profile so you see the medicines and whether each dose was taken.
No. There are no ads in Sonadose today, and there will never be one on a reminder, an alarm or the elder-mode screen.
It doesn't give medical advice, suggest doses, or check whether two medicines interact. It's a reminder organizer. The medical questions belong with a doctor or a pharmacist.
Free on Google Play, and no account needed. The first medicine is added before the kettle boils.
