Prevents double dosing
The most dangerous error in older patients. Each dose is confirmed; if it was already taken, the system tells you.
Health support · no tracking
Medication reminders that protect the person taking them.
Medtaker helps people on chronic treatments and their caregivers avoid double dosing, confirm every dose and end the daily question of "did I already take it?". It works offline, with no account, no ads.
What it does
A health tool, not a productivity app
Designed to prevent real medication errors: double dosing, missed intake, the daily 'did I already take it?'. Every product decision passes through that filter.
Works without internet
Notifications fire from your phone, not a server. Works in airplane mode, in low-coverage areas, with mobile data off.
Persistent reminders, not intrusive
Calm alerts that insist as much as needed. No marketing notifications, no addictive gamification.
Built for caregivers
Clear view of what the person took and when. No need to install separate apps for caregiver and patient.
Privacy by design
Your data lives on your phone, encrypted by the operating system. No account, no servers, no advertising SDKs.
Visible audit trail
Full intake history, one tap away. Useful at the doctor and to confirm doses remotely.
Product principles
Four decisions that guide us
Safety before convenience
Every design decision is evaluated by its safety impact first, comfort second. If a flashier notification is more distracting and risks a missed dose, we do not ship it.
Trust before feature count
We do few things, very well. Reminders that fire on time, reliable intake logging, verifiable history. Everything else can wait.
Clarity before aesthetics
Large text, high contrast, obvious visual hierarchy. Designed to be used in the kitchen, before bed, with glasses half on.
Persistent calm, never intrusive
We remind without startling. No pop-ups, no red badges, no promotional notifications. Medication is not a marketing channel.
Who Medtaker is for
Not every medication app fits everyone.
Medtaker is specifically designed for people on chronic treatments, polypharmacy (five or more medications) and caregivers supporting older relatives. If you only need to remember a single daily vitamin, a phone alarm is enough — and we will tell you so.
If you care for someone, this page is for youCaregivers: a dedicated section
The hard part of caregiving is not remembering medication: it is knowing the dose was taken, from a distance, without nagging or invading. Medtaker delivers visibility without surveillance.

Frequently asked
What people ask before downloading
Do I need to create an account?
No. Medtaker works without an account, email or password. The goal is for the app to be useful even if you want zero digital identification.
Are my medical records uploaded to a server?
No. All medication, dose and schedule data lives on your device. The app does not connect to any server to do its job.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Notifications fire from the operating system, not from an external service. It works in airplane mode, in low-coverage areas and with mobile data off.
Is it free? Is there a Pro version?
The app is free. There is no paid Pro version, no subscription and no ads. The plan is to keep it that way as long as it remains viable.
Can I use it with an older relative who does not handle apps?
Yes. Medtaker is designed so the caregiver sets up the plan from the relative's phone and the older person only confirms the dose with one tap. Read the caregivers section.
What if my phone runs out of battery?
Scheduled notifications are not lost while the phone is off: when it powers up the system fires pending ones within a reasonable window, and earlier ones are kept in the history as "unconfirmed". Same logic as any system alarm.
