Medication reminders for people and pets
What you get
PillPing was built for exactly this.
The core features that make PillPing different from the generic alternatives.
Multi-Person Support
Track meds for yourself, your parent, and your pet in one app.
Caregiver View
A read-only view for family members who need to know, not control.
Refill Alerts
Dose counting with a heads-up before you run out.
Adherence History
An honest chart of what you took and when. Doctor-ready.
A note from the studio
“Caregivers managing a parent's medication shouldn't have to choose between a $5/mo app and a fragile spreadsheet. Lifetime pricing, one decision, done.”
