Groups: combine your pills into one reminder
A group is a bundle of medications you take at the same time of day. Instead of six separate reminders every morning, you get one.
What a group is
A group has a name (for example, "Morning stack" or "Bedtime meds"), an emoji, and a scheduled time. Any medication you add to the group gets bundled into one single reminder at that time.
A medication can belong to multiple groups. For example, the same statin could be in both "Bedtime meds" and "Weekly pill sort" if that's useful to you.
Creating a group
- Open Settings > Medication groups.
- Tap Add group.
- Pick an emoji (🌅 ☀️ 🌙 🍽️ etc.) — this becomes the group's icon throughout the app.
- Name the group (e.g. "Morning stack").
- Pick the scheduled time (e.g. 8:00 AM).
- Save.
Adding medications to a group
Two ways:
- When adding a new medication, scroll to Groups and tick the group(s) you want it in. You can also create a new group inline from this screen.
- For an existing medication, tap the card to open its detail, then edit the Groups section.
Medications in a group do not fire individual reminders — only the group's single reminder fires at the group time.
Responding to a group reminder
On the lock screen, a group reminder shows the emoji, the group name, and the count of medications (e.g. "🌅 Morning stack — 6 meds"). Tap All taken to log every medication at once, or Later to defer.
If you only took some of them (e.g. you ran out of one pill), open the app, tap the group card to expand it, and tap Taken beside each medication individually.
Different doses in a group
Each medication keeps its own dose. When you tap All taken, each dose is logged with its own correct amount and inventory is updated for each.
Editing or deleting a group
In Settings > Medication groups, tap the group. You can rename it, change its time, change its emoji, or delete it entirely. Deleting a group leaves the medications in place — it just removes the group bundling, so each medication falls back to its own individual schedule.
When not to use groups
If two medications have slightly different times (one at 8 AM and the other at 8:30 AM), don't force them into one group — just leave them as separate medications. Groups work best when the times really are identical.
