A medication widget that answers "did I take it?" from the home screen

The small widget: doses left, the ring, the streak. The medium widget adds the next doses with their colour chips and times, so you can see "Vitamin D3 at 8:00" without opening anything. When every dose is done, the ring goes fully gold and the count reads zero, which is the whole answer to "did I take it?"

Tapping Taken on a reminder writes the dose and refreshes the widget immediately. At midnight the widget rolls over to the new day's schedule on its own; the app does not need to be opened. If the phone was off, the next time the widget refreshes it catches up.

1. Press and hold an empty spot on the home screen until the icons wiggle.
2. Tap the plus button in the corner.
3. Search for PillPal and choose the small or medium widget.
4. Tap Add Widget, then Done.

Put it on the first page, ideally near the top: the value is in the glance.

Notifications are for the moment of the dose. The widget is for the other 23 hours: the evening check, the "did I?" on the way out, the quiet satisfaction of a fully gold ring. It is the part of PillPal a plain alarm cannot replace.

PillPal is a reminder tool, not medical advice. Nothing here tells you what to take or how much; follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions.
