Set a one-time medicine reminder
Need a single alert for one intake? Use the one-time option on Add medication with an intake date and time from your own instructions.
In-app steps
- Open Add medication.
- Select one-time instead of repeating.
- Enter the name and any notes or photo that help you recognize the dose.
- Set the intake date and time fields for that single reminder.
- Save and wait for the alert at that time; use Taken or snooze from the notification if needed.
Limitations
- One-time entries still count toward the free medication maximum.
- Do not use the app to invent catch-up rules after a miss - check the leaflet.
- Exact-alarm permission still applies.
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 one-time separate from weekly repeating?
Yes. Add medication lets you choose one-time versus repeating schedule modes.
Can I convert one-time to weekly later?
Edit the medication and change the schedule fields to the repeating pattern you need, then save.
Does one-time require Premium?
No. The Add medication path is available without Premium; free count limits still apply.
