Now on iPhone and Android
Set up a parent's medication schedule once. Don'tForgetDad keeps an eye on every dose, and tells you the moment one is missed.
Don'tForgetDad is a free medication reminder app for iPhone and Android that helps adult children keep track of an aging parent's medications and alerts the family when a dose is missed.
How it works
Create a care profile, add each medication with its dose and times, and invite family to join it.
Each dose time becomes a reminder, like Paracetamol at 08:00 and 20:00, with snooze when breakfast runs late.
Dad picks the dose he took and checks in on how he's feeling. Streaks and XP make the habit stick.
Missed doses show up on the family dashboard and in alerts to everyone on Dad's care team.
Missed-dose alerts
No guessing and no daily "did you take your pills?" calls. You get one clear heads-up, only when a scheduled dose goes unconfirmed.
Everything in one place
Point the camera at the packaging and the assistant pulls out the name, strength and directions for you to review.
Invite a sibling or second caregiver. Real-time sync keeps every phone in step.
Local and push notifications with snooze, plus a badge count on the app icon.
Ruler-style pickers, kg/lb and cm/in units, BMI, and history you can actually read. Both flow into the PDF report.
Badges, milestones and a Streak Freeze for the odd off day.
Tap the mic in chat and ask the assistant anything, hands free.
Fully themed, down to the chart lines.
Including Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese and Korean, so every caregiver reads alerts in their own words.
AI assistant
A chat assistant that knows Dad's schedule. Ask what he took today, add a new medication by chatting, check this week's adherence or get a health summary. Nothing changes without your approval.
The assistant shares general information. It does not prescribe or replace a clinician.
Don'tForgetDad was built for adult children looking after a parent from across town or across the world. A calmer, guided setup shows you how alerts work before you ever need one.
