An alarm your phone cannot ignore.
A loud, full-screen alarm that escalates until you respond, not a quiet badge on your lock screen. It keeps going until the dose is taken or snoozed, then it alerts your Care Circle if it never is. This is the reminder people say they actually needed all along.
- Takes over the whole screen, instead of waiting in the notification tray
- Rings through silent and Do Not Disturb, so a quiet phone is not a missed dose
- Snooze brings it back rather than letting it quietly disappear
If a dose is missed, someone who loves them finds out.
Medicose is a caregiver medication app as much as a patient one. Invite family members or professional carers into a patient's Care Circle. When a dose goes untaken past its window, the circle is alerted. A missed pill becomes a phone call, not a hospital visit.
- Caregivers see doses taken, snoozed, or missed in real time, from anywhere
- Gentle escalation: reminder, then loud alarm, then Care Circle alert
- Carers can manage schedules for several patients, even patients with no phone
Built for real medication routines, and real families.
Unlimited medications, caregiver tracking, escalating alarms, and refill reminders. Every one of them free, with no premium tier waiting behind a paywall.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you might be wondering before you start.
Is Medicose really free?
Yes. Every feature is free for patients and caregivers: unlimited medications, Care Circle alerts, escalating alarms, and refill reminders. There’s no premium tier, no ads, and we never sell your data.
How does the Care Circle work?
You invite family members or carers into a patient’s Care Circle. They can see doses as taken, snoozed, or missed in real time, and they’re alerted if a dose goes untaken past its window, so a missed pill becomes a phone call, not an emergency.
Will the alarms work if my phone is on silent?
Medicose uses a persistent, full-screen alarm that escalates and keeps reminding you until the dose is taken or snoozed, not a single notification that’s easy to sleep through or miss.
Which devices does Medicose support?
Medicose runs on Android phones and tablets. An iPhone version isn’t available yet. A caregiver can manage medication schedules for several patients from one account, including patients who don’t use a phone themselves.
Can it handle complex medication schedules?
Yes: daily, several-times-a-day, weekly, cyclical (on-and-off), and as-needed schedules, across pills, drops, patches, and injections.
Is my health data private?
Your data is used only to power your reminders and your Care Circle. We don’t sell it and we don’t use it for advertising.
Can I manage medication for someone who doesn’t use a phone?
Yes. A caregiver can add a patient who has no phone of their own, build their full schedule, and log each dose on their behalf. The patient never needs to install anything. The whole routine lives in the caregiver’s Care Circle.
Will Medicose remind me to refill my prescription?
Yes. Medicose counts down your remaining doses as you take them and sends a prescription refill reminder days before you run out, so there’s time to reach the pharmacy before the bottle is empty.
