The Today view

The Today view is where you spend most of your time. It shows what to take now, what is still coming, and lets you scroll ahead to tomorrow and beyond.

The greeting and adherence ring

At the top, you'll see a greeting for the time of day and today's date, followed by a circular adherence ring. The ring fills in as you log doses and shows how many of today's doses you've taken versus how many were scheduled. The ring lets you see at a glance whether you're on track.

If you tap the ring, nothing happens — it's just a progress indicator. Numbers underneath tell you the exact count.

Up next vs. Completed

Below the ring, medications are split into two sections:

• Up next — medications you still need to take today, sorted by time.
• Completed — medications you've already taken. These are dimmed so they don't steal your attention, but they stay on the screen so you can see what's already done.

Missed doses (where the time has passed but you haven't logged them) stay in Up next at their original time so they rise to the top of the list.

Medication cards

Each medication shows:

• A small coloured pill icon (the shape reflects the form — tablet, inhaler, drops, and so on)
• The medication name and dose
• A time chip showing when it's due
• Three action buttons: Taken, Later, Not sure

Tap the card itself (not the buttons) to open the medication's full details, where you can edit the schedule, see history, change reminder settings, and so on.

See Taken, Later, Skip, Not sure for what each button does.

Groups

If you take several pills at the same time of day and have created a group, they show up as a single card with the group's emoji and name. Tap to expand and see the individual medications. Tap All taken to log every medication in the group in one go.

See Groups for how to create and use them.

As-needed (PRN) medications

Medications you've marked as "as needed" appear in a separate As needed section at the bottom of the Today view. They don't get scheduled reminders — they sit there waiting for you to log one when you take it. If you set a cooldown, the card shows a countdown until you can take another.

Scroll down to see upcoming days

If you keep scrolling past today's doses, DoseAlert will start showing tomorrow, then the day after, and so on. Each day appears as its own section with a header — Tomorrow, day names for the rest of the week, or a date after that.

You can mark future doses as taken — for example, if you take tomorrow's morning pill the night before. DoseAlert will first ask "Are you sure? This is for a future date." so you don't do it by accident, and give you a Return to today option to bounce back.

The + button

In the bottom-right corner is the mint + button. Tap it to add a new medication from any tab. See Add a medication.

Refill badges

If a medication is running low (based on your inventory and refill threshold), a red Refill reminder badge appears on the card. Tap it to bump the count up after picking up a new bottle. See Inventory and refills.

What the time chip colours mean

The time chip next to each medication is colour-coded:

• Mint regular priority medication
• Coral critical-priority medication (heart, seizure, asthma rescue, etc.)
• Amber deferred (you tapped Later) or marked "Not sure"
