How it works

1

Add your medicines

Log name, strength, quantity, and expiry date for every box, blister strip, and bottle. Capture photos and notes so you always know what's on the shelf.

2

Get expiry reminders

Smart reminders nudge you before medicines expire so you can use, share with your care team, or plan disposal instead of throwing away a full pack.

3

Dispose safely

Follow step‑by‑step guidance for each medicine type and use the built‑in map to find nearby drop‑off locations that accept what you have.

What you get

Expiry reminders

Configurable alerts so you can prioritize what to use first, talk to your doctor, or schedule a clean‑up session.
