Pillo

Medication reminders for schedules that vary

Pillo is an Android medication reminder and tracking app for people who want their dose schedule, reminders and logged history in one place. It supports more than a once-a-day routine: reminders can be set for several times in a day, selected weekdays, alternate days, repeating intervals or cycles, and as-needed medication. The alarm is designed to stay prominent until the user responds, and the app lets users choose a full-screen alert or a smaller notification. That flexibility is useful when different medicines follow different timetables, but the schedule itself should always match instructions from a prescriber or pharmacist.

Keep a dose record and watch remaining supply

The medication list brings together each item, its dose and schedule, with a dose history and an on-screen pill count. Users can log doses and review adherence over time, while refill reminders flag when a supply may be running low. Pillo also offers a setting that can shift the next reminder based on when a dose was actually recorded; its FAQ says this applies across medications unless an exception is set. That kind of setting deserves a careful review before use, especially when timing instructions are strict. An app log is a personal tracking aid, not a clinical record or a substitute for medication advice.

Caregiver profiles and health tracking

For households coordinating medicines, Pillo describes multiple family or dependent profiles and SMS alerts when a dose is missed. Its About page places dependent management in the paid plan. The app also groups medication safety checkers—including drug-interaction, side-effect, food, nutrient, condition and allergen checks—with the other tracking tools. Pillo says its interaction screening uses FDA drug data; a screening result should be taken to a pharmacist or clinician rather than treated as a diagnosis or a decision to start, stop or change a medicine.

Beyond medication, the listed trackers cover measures such as blood pressure, blood glucose, weight, oxygen saturation, temperature and daily condition. Appointment management and a home-screen widget are also presented as ways to keep routine health tasks visible. Availability of individual functions may depend on the app version or plan, so check the current listing before relying on a particular tool.

Availability, setup and privacy considerations

Pillo is offered for Android through Google Play. Its official pages currently present the iOS version as a TestFlight beta, so iPhone access is not described as a general App Store release. The About page says the Android app is free for unlimited medications with advertising and identifies dependent profiles and six safety checkers as paid-plan features; the FAQ describes core reminders, scheduling and tracking as free. Check the current store and plan details because availability and pricing can change.

One practical Android setup detail: Pillo’s FAQ says battery optimization can stop alarms while the app runs in the background and provides instructions for excluding it from that restriction. The FAQ also describes hiding medication names in notifications and switching between full-screen and regular alerts. Those controls can help users balance reliable reminders with privacy on a shared or visible phone.

The app may hold sensitive medication and health measurements. Pillo’s site displays statements about encryption and regulatory compliance; review its current privacy policy, permissions, account controls and data-handling terms before entering health information. Its own medical-content policy says the articles are general information rather than personal medical advice. For questions about a medicine, schedule, interaction or missed dose, consult a qualified pharmacist or clinician.
