I built a one-button medication check-in app — here's why it's intentionally boring

Most reminder apps try to do everything: schedules, charts, streaks, badges,
cloud sync, social features. I built the opposite.

MedRemind is an Android app with one job: a large confirmation button and
a visible 24-hour check-in timer. You press the button once a day. That's it.

Why so simple?

The app is designed for the person who actually needs it — often someone less
technical, sometimes an older family member. Every extra feature is one more
thing that can confuse, and one more reason the app gets abandoned in a week.

So the design rules were strict:

  • One large confirmation button. No menus to dig through.
  • A visible 24-hour timer so you always know where you stand.
  • An optional family e-mail after the button is pressed — so a relative
    knows the check-in happened. Optional, off by default.
  • No account required. Your name and settings stay on your device.
  • No analytics SDKs, no data brokers.

What it is — and what it isn't

MedRemind is a reminder and check-in tool. It is not medical monitoring,
and it never claims to be. It won't diagnose anything, it won't call anyone in
an emergency, and it shouldn't replace professional care. It just makes one
small daily routine harder to forget — and gives a family member a quiet
signal that everything is on track.

Free and Plus

MedRemind Free is live on Google Play now. It may show ads.

MedRemind Plus is on the way — a separate paid edition (29 SEK, one-time
purchase, no subscription) with no ads and three reminder slots.

Try it and tell me what's confusing

The Free version is here:

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on three things: whether the one-button flow
makes sense, whether the family e-mail explanation is clear, and whether
anything would confuse a less technical user. Walkthrough videos in seven
languages are on the product page.
