The scanner reading the DataMatrix code on a medication box

The difference

Scan the box.
Expiry date included.

PillRem reads the DataMatrix code on the box and fills in the name, active ingredient, form and expiry date, offline, from a database built with official data from more than 40 countries. Your medicine cabinet always knows what is about to expire.

Why people switch
to PillRem.

The expiry date filled in from the box, so nothing expires unnoticed.

No tracking identifiers and no account.

Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud.

The next dose on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

The nearest pharmacy, one tap away.

Up to 8 profiles, each with its own schedule and history.
