Simple on top, powerful underneath

The PillStack philosophy: your morning check should take two taps. Everything else — timing, nudges, escalation, rules — is customizable if you want it, invisible if you don't. Here's the roadmap, built from competitor gap analysis and your feedback.

✅ Shipped

SHIPPED v0.3–0.7

Dose-centric logging with Edit + Undo

Every tap knows exactly which medication; every log is editable forever — med, time, amount. Nobody else offers inline edit. vs Medisafe: broken edits are their #1 complaint

SHIPPED

Custom refill nudges per medication

90 pills over 3 months? Nudge at 30d and 14d. 4 weekly pills? Nudge a week out. Smart defaults for everyone, full thresholds behind "Custom." vs all: refill math is a universal weakness

SHIPPED

Notifications with actions + re-nag + quiet hours

Take/Snooze from the notification, escalating re-reminders, overnight deference, critical-med full-screen alerts. Simple menu, advanced panel behind one button.

SHIPPED

Family escalation via email — user's own account

Missed doses past a grace window email your chosen contacts, from your device. We are never in the message path.

SHIPPED

Honest freemium + lifetime unlock

3 medications free forever. One purchase, unlimited, updates included. vs Medisafe $40/yr anger, MyTherapy paywall

SHIPPED

7 color themes · dark mode · large text

Accessibility isn't an afterthought — Grindrod-study-informed wording, age-friendly text scaling, high-contrast theme.

🎯 Next up

IN PROGRESS

iOS + Android shells → TestFlight & Play beta

The notification engine only becomes a real reminder inside the native shells. Lock-screen widget follows immediately after.

NEXT

Notification action buttons — log from lock screen

Take/Snooze/Skip without unlocking. The 1-second loop that wins the "did I take it?" moment. vs Dose: 2-tap logging is their biggest flaw

NEXT

Late-state & overdue pinning

Overdue doses pinned to the top with a distinct "late" treatment — the day reads as a queue, not a list. vs Dosezy: their best idea, we'll do it better

NEXT

User-owned cloud backup & auto-backup

Restore from or auto-write backups to your Files app / Drive / OneDrive / Box sync folder. We never touch your cloud. PRO feature.

NEXT

In-app purchase: lifetime unlock

StoreKit 2 / Play Billing, restore flow, receipt validation. $14.99 once — Phase 1 & 2 of the store plan.

🧭 On the horizon

PLANNED

Missed-dose trends & habit insights

"You've been good — this miss looks unusual" vs "3 misses this week is a pattern." Compassionate framing, opt-in celebration with milestone sharing (7/30/100-day streaks) — only if you turn it on. vs everyone: stats exist but never contextual

PLANNED

Schedule editor (full in-place editing)

Change dose times, days, amounts, or switch schedule types without deleting and re-adding the medication. vs Medisafe: their edit flow loses data

PLANNED

Same-time dose grouping & "take all at 8 AM"

One tap marks the whole morning batch; the queue collapses intelligently.

PLANNED

Cycle packs & tapering schedules

Birth-control 21/7 packs, taper-down dose ladders, windowed intervals that count from time taken. vs MedTimer: the most-requested FOSS feature

PLANNED

Vacation mode & timezone-aware travel

Pause everything with one switch; reminders follow your timezone or stay home — your choice.

PLANNED

Adherence PDF & calendar heatmap export

A shareable, print-ready doctor-visit report with 90-day heatmap, per-med stats, and missed-dose trends. PRO feature.

PLANNED

Caregiver mode (multi-person profiles)

Manage a parent's or child's meds from one device — profiles, not accounts. Local, always. vs Medisafe Medfriend: we do it without servers

PLANNED

Home-screen widgets & watch complications

Next-dose widget, streak widget, lock-screen quick actions. Apple Watch & Wear OS.

PLANNED

SMS deep-link escalation

Optional second ring of family escalation: pre-filled text message if email goes unanswered. Serverless, always.

💡 Considering (your vote shapes this)

IDEA

Medication photos & imprint identification

Snap the pill once; see it on every dose card — grab the right bottle every time. vs Medisafe: most-loved feature in their reviews

IDEA

Symptom & effect journal (expanded PRN)

For as-needed meds: why you took it, how it worked — with correlation views over time. vs Apple Medication: no symptom tracking at all

IDEA

Weekly digest email (PRO)

A quiet Sunday summary: adherence, streaks, low stock, missed patterns. Opt-in, from your own account.

IDEA

Location-aware reminders

"Remind me when I get home" — doses tied to places, not just times. vs MedTimer: their cleverest feature

IDEA

HealthKit / Health Connect sync

Medication logs into the platform health stores — opt-in, still local-first.

IDEA

Wearable-independent "take" — NFC tags

Tap a tag on the pill bottle to log a dose. Zero-UI logging for the elderly.

What we will NOT build

Drug-interaction databases (we're not your pharmacist), social feeds, pharma partnerships, ad-supported tiers, or anything that requires your data to function. That's the whole point.
