Pill and medication reminders that repeat until you tap Done

Kettle is a reminder app for taking pills on time. Add the name and the time, repeat it every day, and it keeps reminding until you tap Done. It shows the last 14 days and can send the week to family. Kettle is a reminder app, not a medical device: it gives no medical advice and does not check doses.

Set up a daily reminder

  1. Tap Add (the + button) and type a name, like “Take pills”. Add a note if you like, such as “With food”.
  2. Pick the time and choose Daily under How often. For pills twice a day, add one reminder for each time.
  3. Under How it reminds, choose Keeps reminding, or Alarm if it must ring on Silent.
  4. Tap Add.

When it whistles

Done marks it done, and the next day is lined up. Later brings it back in 10 minutes. Not today skips today’s one, and the reminder carries on tomorrow.

Today in Kettle: a late reminder, Take blood pressure meds, on a card with a Done button, and the reminders still to come.
The small Next widget on iPhone: Take my pills, 1 hour, 48 minutes late, with a Done button and the whistling kettle.

14 days of history, and the week for family

Every repeating reminder keeps its last 14 days: done, skipped or missed. Open the reminder to see them. Tap Share the week to send one line through your own messages, like “Pills: done 6 of 7 days”. Nothing is stored on a server.
