Missing a medication dose might not seem like a big deal. But when you're managing multiple prescriptions, it adds up fast.
Why I Built PillPal
After a health scare, I found myself juggling multiple medications with no good system. Sticky notes failed. Phone alarms were too generic. Existing apps were bloated.
So I built PillPal — a simple, focused medication tracker.
Core Features
- Smart Reminders — Context-aware notifications that actually help
- Refill Tracking — Know when you're running low before it's too late
- Medication History — See your adherence patterns over time
- Simple UI — No unnecessary complexity
Tech Decisions
Built with React, designed mobile-first. Every feature exists because I needed it personally.
The biggest lesson: healthcare tools need to be simple above all else. If it takes more than 5 seconds to log a dose, people won't use it.

PillPal is free at pillpal.app. Feedback welcome.
