Guide
Mark doses, then review the week
Doses history here means marking what happened on Meds or the reminder, then opening Medicine Doses to view that week’s schedule and intake rows. It is household logistics on your phone - not a clinical adherence report.
Mark Taken or skip on Meds first
- On the Meds list, when a dose is due, tap the check control (Mark as taken). From a reminder notification, tap Taken.
- To clear a mark, tap the close control (Mark as not taken) on that dose row.
- If the dialog What about this dose? appears, choose SKIPPED IT or TAKING NOW.
- Optional: from the reminder, tap +5m or +10m to snooze. Need that path in more detail? See medication reminder snooze.
Those mark actions live on Meds and the notification. The Doses screen is for reviewing the week after you mark elsewhere.
Open Doses and filter the week
Doses is available during the free trial and with Premium.
- On Meds, tap the medication doses icon at the top. The screen title is Medicine Doses.
- Under Select Week, choose a week chip such as Current Week, Last Week, or Next Week.
- Open the Scheduled Doses tab to see planned doses for that week. Optionally filter by day under Filter by day of week: (All days or a weekday).
- Open the Intake History tab for the same week to review status rows the app already recorded (for example Taken, SKIPPED DOSE, Notified, Snoozed).
Want a chronological log across medicines instead of a week view? See the medication intake journal guide.
Limitations
- History and schedule rows are a household log - not a clinical adherence score and not proof for a clinician.
- There is no Google Fit or health-platform upload of dose history.
- A Settings JSON backup can include scheduled dose rows, but it does not include intake history logs.
- Phone battery, OEM settings, or notification permission can still affect whether reminders fire - that is device behavior, not a separate clinical feature.

Smart Meds Reminder is a medication reminder and log. It is not medical advice and does not replace a qualified clinician or pharmacist.
FAQ
Where do I mark Taken or skip a dose?
On the Meds list, use the check control (Mark as taken) or the close control (Mark as not taken). From a reminder notification, tap Taken. If the dialog What about this dose? appears, choose SKIPPED IT or TAKING NOW. The Doses screen is for reviewing the week, not for those mark buttons.
What does Intake History show on Doses?
For the week you select under Select Week, Intake History lists on-device status rows such as Taken, SKIPPED DOSE, Notified, and Snoozed. It is a household log of what the app recorded - not a clinical adherence score.
Does Settings backup include intake history marks?
No. A Settings JSON backup can include scheduled dose rows, but it does not include intake history logs.
