What is MyTherapy?
MyTherapy is a German medication reminder app available on iPhone and Android. It offers basic pill reminders, a medication journal, and health tracking. The free tier is functional but includes advertising, which feels out of place in a health app. Premium features require a paid subscription.

The scanner
This is PillRem's decisive advantage. Point your iPhone or iPad camera at any medication box and PillRem reads the barcode — filling in name, active ingredient, dose, and expiry date automatically. Offline, in seconds. MyTherapy has no equivalent feature.
Ads in a health app
MyTherapy shows ads in its free tier. PillRem has never shown a single ad — not in the free tier, not in the paid tier, not ever. Your medication schedule is not a place for advertising.
iCloud Sync
PillRem syncs automatically across your iPhone and iPad via your personal iCloud. No third-party account, no external server — just your own data, in your own cloud. MyTherapy does not offer iCloud sync.
iOS native vs cross-platform
MyTherapy is available on both iPhone and Android, which means it's built as a cross-platform app. PillRem is built exclusively for iPhone and iPad using native iOS technology — which makes it faster, more reliable, and better integrated with features like biometric lock and iCloud.
What does PillRem Pro include?
The free tier covers unlimited medications, unlimited scanner use, and 7-day adherence. Pro adds: up to 8 family profiles, full adherence graphs, Smart Insights, nearby pharmacy search, and biometric or passcode lock. Available at 3.99€/month, 29.99€/year, or 79.99€ once.
