# Medication reminder app: pill reminders that follow your own schedule

A good medication reminder follows the schedule your pharmacist or doctor already gave you. Add your times once, and the pill reminder does the rest, like a pill tracker and a medicine list in one place.

## A simple set-up

1. Write down the times your doctor or pharmacist told you.
2. Set one reminder per time, on the days you need.
3. Allow notifications on your phone, and test one.
4. Share the alert with a [family member](https://pharmacycabinet.app/help/guides/shared-family-medicine-cabinet/) who helps you.

## In short

Many people look for a free pill reminder app that also keeps count. Here the two go together: set the time, the medication alarm goes off on your phone, and the pill counter shows how many tablets are left.

## How Pharmacy Cabinet helps

- You enter the times yourself, so the reminders match your own schedule.
- Medicine reminders reach your phone even when the app is closed.
- Choose the days of the week for each reminder.
- Share a reminder with the family member who helps you.
- Reminders and stock live together: the pill reminder tells you when, the pill counter tells you how many are left, and the pill tracker keeps every medication in the same list.

> Pharmacy Cabinet only reminds you of the schedule you enter. It does not give dosing advice. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions.
