# Home medicine cabinet organizer: know what you have in minutes

Most homes have the same problem: a drawer, a bag and a shelf, and nobody is sure what is where. A pill organizer sorts today's doses, but a medicine tracker shows everything you have at home. Ten minutes is enough to set one up.

## Do it in four steps

1. Put every medication from the house on one table: drawers, bags, the bathroom, the bedside.
2. Look at each box: name, strength, [expiry date](https://pharmacycabinet.app/help/guides/track-medicine-expiry-dates/). Set aside anything already expired.
3. Group them by who they are for: adults, children, everyone.
4. Write down where each one lives: room, cabinet, shelf.

## In short

Once the boxes are in, the app keeps your medication list for you. [Photograph a new box](https://pharmacycabinet.app/help/guides/scan-barcode-or-photograph-medicine/) and it reads the label, much like a pill identifier, so the medicine tracker and pill counter stay accurate without any typing.
