Med Locker
A medication reminder that locks your apps until you log your meds
Phone reminders are easy to swipe away. Med Locker locks the apps you pick, like social media or games, until you tap “I took it.” Calls and texts still work. And your Today screen shows the time you took it, so you don't have to guess.
You're not the only one asking, “Did I already take it?”
About half of the medicine people take for long-term health conditions isn't taken the way it was prescribed. That's linked to about 1 in 10 hospital stays in the U.S.
It happens to busy, careful people every day. The bottle sits on the counter, the reminder gets swiped away, and ten minutes later you can't remember if you took it.
It happens to me too. Even as a former ICU nurse, I've struggled to remember my own meds.
That's why I built something simple.

iPhone
3 days free, then $39.99 a year
No account. No ads. Your medications stay on your phone.
You pick the apps. Calls and texts stay open.
One reminder, then the lock
One reminder
One notification 30 minutes before medication time. It doesn't repeat.
The lock
When it's time to take your medication, the apps you picked lock. The lock makes you stop, even for a second, and ask yourself: did I take it? Calls and texts stay open.
I took it
One tap opens everything again.
Not ready yet? Tap “Not now” to wait a bit or skip today. Life happens. Taken late still counts as taken. No late mark.
See exactly what locks and what never does
Organized like a nurse's medication pass
Set up to four medication times a day, like morning, noon, dinner and bedtime. Everything due at 8 goes together at 8.
Your Today screen shows when you logged each one, like “Taken at 8:02 am.” So when you're standing at the counter wondering, the answer is one glance away.
Meet Pip, your med buddy
Pip lives at the top of your Today screen, and he celebrates with you every time you take care of yourself. Log your medication on time and he dances. Over good days he grows stronger and earns gear.
Miss one and Pip rests. No red marks, no streaks to break. One dose brings him back.
Built for people who know the schedule and lose the moment.
Several medications a day
Everything due at the same time stays together, so a morning with three bottles is one tap, not three alarms.
Busy routines
A lock gets your attention in a way a swipeable notification doesn't.
Anyone who has stood at the counter
Wondering if you already took it? Your Today screen answers in one glance.
