Use a medication reminder without creating an account
Smart Meds Reminder stores meds, schedules, and logs in a local on-device database. You do not sign up for a cloud account to keep the list on your phone.
In-app steps
- Install and open the app - there is no mandatory account wall before the Meds list.
- Add medications and schedules as usual; data stays on the device.
- Use Settings → Export/Import when you want a JSON backup file you can share or store yourself.
- Reminders still need Android notification and exact-alarm permission even though storage is local.
Limitations
- There is no cloud family sync or multi-device account restore built in.
- Ads and some settings need network when those paths run.
- Losing the phone without a JSON export means losing the local database.
Smart Meds Reminder is a medication reminder and log. It is not medical advice and does not replace a qualified clinician or pharmacist.
FAQ
Is my medication list uploaded to a Smart Meds account?
There is no sign-in wall for a meds account. The list lives in local on-device storage unless you export a JSON file yourself.
Can I use the list offline?
Local med data is on-device. Scheduling alarms and showing reminders still depends on OS permissions.
How do I move data to another phone?
Export a JSON backup (schema version 2.1) and import it on the other device.
