The Medication Reminder App
Built for Family Caregivers
Most pill reminder apps assume you're the one taking the medication. Don'tForgetDad was built for the people who care — so the whole family knows the moment a dose is missed.
Everything a caregiver needs in one app

Frequently asked questions
Is Don'tForgetDad free to use?
Yes. The core features — medication reminders, shared family profiles, missed-dose alerts, and health logs — are completely free with no ads. A Pro tier unlocks advanced AI features and unlimited history, but caregiving basics are always free.
How many family members can share one profile?
Multiple family members can connect to the same loved one's profile. Whether it's two siblings or an entire extended family, everyone stays in sync with the same real-time medication schedule and check-in history.
What happens when a dose is missed?
When a scheduled dose goes unchecked past the reminder window, every connected family member receives an alert. You can then check in with your loved one or mark the dose as taken or skipped directly from the notification.
Does Don'tForgetDad work for complex medication schedules?
Yes. The app handles multiple medications per person, different frequencies (daily, twice daily, weekly, as-needed), and varying dosage amounts. The AI pill scanner makes setting up new prescriptions fast — just photograph the label.
Is my health data private and secure?
All health data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell personal health data or share it with advertisers. Your family's medication records are visible only to the family members you explicitly invite to the profile.
