Pillbug: the fun meds reminder

Wellcove

About this app

Pillbug is a helpful little bug obsessed with one thing: making sure you take your meds and supplements on time, and actually ENJOY taking care of your health. Whether you’re managing ADHD medication, antidepressants, birth control pills or anything else, Pillbug makes staying consistent simple, private, and rewarding.

Medications are a clinical issue, but we think medication apps should not FEEL clinical, they should be fun to use. That's where Pillbug comes in.

Reliable reminders you’ll actually respond to!
Pillbug keeps you on schedule with gentle, caring reminders.
He highly recommends installing his widget so you never forget a dose. That way he’ll even tuck you into bed when you’ve had a good medication day (he’s very proud of you!)

Say goodbye to “Wait… did I take it?”
We’ve all had that stressful moment: Did you take your medication today? Should you take it now? Did you maybe already take it? You don’t want to skip it. You don’t want to double-dose. What do you do?

Pillbug fixes that!
See, logging your meds is crucial to understanding your health, but most people forget to log, or they log first and get distracted before taking their dose. Then logs become unreliable.
Pillbug’s patent-pending Scan to Log feature changes everything. Just scan any label - your bottle, pillbox, right as you take your medication.
Because if you’re right next to your meds when you log them, you’ll actually take them.
And you can trust your log completely.
Pillbug will even warn you if you’re about to take the wrong pill. He’s responsible like that.
Optional, but once you try it, you’ll never understand how you managed without it.

Don’t worry you can still log through notifications or through the app if you forget to scan.

Shared medication management (optional)
With Pillbug, medication management becomes collaborative. Perfect for families with teens or young adults, or for partners supporting each other.
More effective management without the nagging.

Ratings and reviews

I am a very forgetful person. I try and set calendar reminders for myself all the time and end up just ignoring them. My wife introduced me to the app after she found it and I downloaded it and immediately loved it. No ads or aggressive monetization. Just a simple, straightforward, cute, and helpful app. I think the streak system will definitely keep me in line taking my medicine every day! Also, support is super responsive, caring, and listen to feedback. Highly recommend!

This is the first medication reminder app that has actually worked for me. The reminders are just persistent enough that I'm inspired to take my meds without wanting to throw my phone out the window. The bug is super cute, the app is super customizable, and you can use it for all kinds of reminders, not just medication! I've started recommending this app to anyone who will listen. Highly recommend!

This is so cute & works so well! The pillbug & the reminder sound are both so charming, so I love to use it! I like that I can set it to stay on schedule if I want: If I have something scheduled for 8, 3, 10, etc., but I am a little late here & there, I can still get back to my schedule. To be honest, I only need 1 pill reminder, for my vitamins, so I also use this for physical therapy stretches. ❤️
