Profiles

Track medications for more than one person — or a pet — on a single phone.

What profiles do

Profiles let you track medications for more than one person (or a pet) on one phone.

Each profile has its own medication list and history. Switching profiles changes what you see in the app — the Today tab, Medications tab, and History tab all update to show that profile's data.

Switching profiles

Tap the Profile tab (the person icon, bottom right). Tap the profile you want to use. The active profile shows a green tick next to its name.

The Profile tab. Sam is the active profile. Tap another name to switch — all tabs then show that profile's medications and history.

Reminders when you switch profiles

Switching your view does NOT pause or stop reminders for other profiles.

All profiles' reminders run on the device at the same time. If Mum has a 08:00 reminder set up, it will still come through even when you're looking at Sam's profile.

Setting up a new profile

In the Profile tab, tap + to add a profile. Give it a name and choose an icon.

Two people, one phone. Each profile keeps its own medications, history, and exports.

Each profile is independent — adding medications to one profile doesn't affect any other.
