An alarm tells you the time. Today watches the bottle — it knows when you're about to run out, when a dose needs food, when a flight moves your window, and when someone you care for missed one.
An alarm knows the time. It doesn't know the bottle is almost empty, that this dose should sit with dinner, or that your flight just moved the window by six hours.
Today tracks days of supply from your last pickup, flags the refill a week out and turns it into a calendar slot or pharmacy note — so the reminder never meets an empty bottle.
With food, on an empty stomach, six hours apart, morning only. You or your clinician set the rules once; Today schedules every dose around them — and around your actual day.
A flight east means your window moves. Today shifts doses across the time zone, carries the schedule with you and reminds you to pack enough for the trip.
For parents, partners or adult children: a shared view of whether today's doses were taken, with a quiet nudge only when something actually needs attention.
Before a check-up, a tidy list of current medications and the questions you wanted to ask — ready to hand to the clinician.
Anchor the daily dose to coffee or breakfast — the routine carries the reminder, not the other way around.
If a dose slips, Today follows the guidance you and your clinician agreed on. No invented advice, no guesswork.
A gentle rhythm while a new prescription becomes part of your day — reminders, logs and a short summary you can share.
Same install — the reminder adapts to the schedule, the travel and the people Today learns you care for.
Morning with breakfast, evening with dinner, and one that needs an empty stomach at midday. Today schedules around the real calendar — and reshuffles when Tuesday's lunch meeting moves the midday dose.
A daily medication that must not drift. Today shifts the window with each flight, keeps the schedule steady across the trip and reminds you to pack enough for the way back.
You take it fine — you just run out on day 28. Today watches the supply, plans the refill a week early and turns "refill soon" into a slot that survives the week.
Three medications, morning and night, and you live four hours away. Today shows what was taken, quietly notes what wasn't and only pings you when a dose really needs attention.
Name, dose, when and how — with food, on an empty stomach, every X hours. The rules you and your clinician set become the schedule.
Which meals are reliable, which mornings are chaos, which trips are coming. Today places doses where they'll actually happen — and moves them when life moves.
Reminders at the right time, refills before you run out, travel that doesn't break the routine — plus a caregiver view, only if you want one.

Today is a lifestyle and organisation assistant, not a medical device. It follows the rules you and your clinician set — it does not diagnose, check drug interactions or give medical advice. For questions about your medication, talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
Today is in public beta and free to use. Set up unlimited reminders — doses, refills and routines — on iPhone, Android, macOS and the web.
A pill alarm bings at a fixed time and forgets everything else. Today watches how much supply is left and plans the refill before you run out, follows real rules like "with food" or "six hours apart", and shifts doses when you travel or your day changes.
No — and that's deliberate. Today is a lifestyle and organisation assistant, not a medical device. It schedules the plan you and your clinician set; it does not evaluate interactions or make dosing decisions. Ask your pharmacist or doctor about interactions.
Yes. A reminder needs only the medication, the dose and the rules you set. Health-app logs are optional — they add a record you can review and share, not a requirement.
Only if you invite them. A shared view shows whether today's doses were taken and raises a quiet alert when something needs attention. You choose the people, and you can remove them any time.
Today shifts your dose window with the time zone, keeps the interval rules intact and reminds you to pack enough supply before you leave. The schedule travels in the app, so a missed day zone-hopping doesn't become a missed dose.
Yes — keep them separate from prescriptions if you like, with their own rules and schedule. Whatever you track, you stay in control of what Today remembers.
No. Today keeps your plan on track between appointments; it never changes a dose or decides one is wrong. Medication questions always go to your clinician or pharmacist.
Reminders at the right time, dosing that follows real rules, and a schedule that survives travel and time zones. Free during the public beta on iPhone, Android, macOS and the web.
