What’s new.

New

• A new welcome screen that guides you step by step, with quick setup and the scanner ready from the start.
• Faster search that suggests the most common medications as you type.

Improved

• The menu opens and closes smoothly again on iPhone and iPad.
• PillRem Pro is recognised and restored more reliably.

PillRem now lives on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so most days you do not need to open the app at all.

New

• Interactive widgets in three sizes. Tap a dose to mark it as taken without opening PillRem.
• Lock Screen widgets with your next dose and your progress for the day.
• Live Activity and Dynamic Island: the next dose stays on screen until you act on it.
• Critical alerts for the doses you cannot miss, approved by Apple and off by default.
• A photo of the box next to each upcoming dose.
• Adherence chart with 7 days, 1 month, 6 months and 1 year, and an 85% goal line.

Improved

• iCloud sync in seconds instead of up to an hour.
• Reminders are time sensitive, so evening doses are not held back by Focus or the Scheduled Summary.
• Reliable reminders for people with many medications and several profiles.

Fixed

• “Add manually” after an unrecognised scan now opens the medication form.
• Sheets open as a panel on iPad.
• The height and weight picker works correctly in imperial units.

Fixed

• iCloud sync could create duplicate copies of the same medication on different devices.

PillRem rebuilt from zero, with every ad and tracking tool removed for good.

New

• A completely new app with the Liquid Glass design of iOS 26.
• iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad through your own private iCloud.
• Up to 8 family profiles, each with its own schedule, reminders and history.
• The medication scanner with a database built from official data from more than 40 countries.

The original PillRem: reminders, the medication database and the first scanner. These versions showed ads, which were removed in 2.0. Updating is free.
