“I forget to take my medicine again.”
“I have to take it 3 times a day, but I forget because I’m busy.”
- Taking medicine, supplements, or pills
- Applying ointments or creams
- Replacing gauze or patches
Even when you know you need to do these things, it is easy to forget.
Especially when your daily routine is irregular, or when work and housework keep you busy, you may end up forgetting without even realizing it.
What solves these problems is Reminder FLEX, an Android app that prevents forgetting medication with voice alerts.
It persistently notifies you with voice and alarms until you take your medicine, strongly preventing missed doses.
Features of Reminder FLEX medication reminders
Voice alerts that read out messages like “Take your medicine”
If you set a reminder title such as “Take your medicine” or “Take your supplements,” the app will read it out loud at the scheduled time. Even when your phone is not nearby, such as during meals or work, you can notice it by voice and avoid forgetting.
In addition to voice alerts, you can receive simple notification sounds or have an alarm ring continuously for 3 minutes. The alarm can also be set to sound even when the phone is in silent mode.
Snooze alerts every 5 minutes until you take your medicine
By setting snooze, even if you miss the first alert, the app will repeatedly notify you at intervals you choose, such as every 3 minutes or every 15 minutes. Even if you are busy and cannot take it right away, you will be reminded again soon.
Flexible repeat settings like daily or every 2 days
Whether you take medicine every day or every 3 days, the repeat feature automatically notifies you at the same time and helps prevent missed doses.
Easily set reminders for taking medicine 3 times a day using the clone button
Reminders can be copied. After creating a morning reminder, you can easily duplicate it for noon and evening. This helps you avoid forgetting morning, afternoon, and evening doses.

Check whether you have already taken your medicine using the checklist
Each reminder works as a checklist. By checking it✅️ after taking your medicine, you can quickly confirm whether you have already taken it.
Keep a history (diary) to review changes in dosage later
“From today, I increased to 2 pills 💊💊” or
“From today, I switched to a different medicine 💊”
You can leave notes like these in the history, making it easy to check later when you wonder, “When did I change the dosage?”
Change the alert time only for that day when unexpected plans come up
“I usually take it at 7:00 pm, but today I have a dinner and can’t take it at that time.”
In such cases, you can easily change the reminder time just for that day, for example to 10:00 pm, so you will be alerted after returning home and avoid forgetting.
No complicated setup is required, and even first time reminder app users can start using it right away.
Medication reminder Q&A
Q: Can I set it to vibration only?
A: By using notifications in silent mode, you can receive short vibration alerts. Alarms can also be set to vibrate only for 30 seconds in silent mode. Conversely, alarms and voice alerts can also be set to play sounds even in silent mode.
Q: Can I use reminders for things other than medication?
A: Yes. Reminder FLEX can be used for all kinds of forget prevention, such as schedules, task management, or doctor appointments.
Medication reminder usage examples by scenario
Managing medicine taken every morning at a fixed time
Set a voice alert at 8:00 saying “Please take your medicine.”
With snooze, it will continue notifying at 8:05, 8:10, and so on until you stop it, preventing missed doses.
Managing different types of medicine or supplements
You can set reminders such as “Hair loss pill” at 9:00 am and “Digestive medicine” at 6:00 pm, with daily or every 2 day intervals, and receive alerts at the necessary times.
If you prefer not to have sensitive content read aloud, you can use normal notifications or alarms, or set the title to something like “It’s time to take your medicine” and write the specific details in the note field.
Persistent voice alerts mean you will never forget again
Forgetting to take medicine is an important issue directly related to health management.
With Reminder FLEX, combining voice alerts, alarms, and snooze helps reliably prevent missed medication.
