Free vs Premium boundaries in Smart Meds Reminder
Know exactly what is free, what trial unlocks, and what needs paid Premium. Guessing those boundaries causes bad purchase decisions.
In-app steps
- Free path: add medications up to the free max (default 3), set schedules, get dose-time notifications with Taken and snooze 5/10.
- Premium or trial: open Intake Journal, Package Status, and Doses via the Premium navigation gate.
- Paid entitlement (not trial alone): expiration date fields and days-before expiration reminders on Add medication.
- Premium also removes the free medication count limit.
- Export/Import stays available; free import may still cap how many meds load from a large backup.
Limitations
- trial_days default is 3 and can change remotely; abuse detection can block trial.
- Do not assume trial unlocks expiration tracking.
- Paywall may also appear randomly on free paths at a configured rate.
Smart Meds Reminder is a medication reminder and log. It is not medical advice and does not replace a qualified clinician or pharmacist.
