Press Kit

Last Updated: August 6, 2026

PillsCheck treats missed medication as an alarm-clock problem, not a notification problem. It is among the first medical apps built on AlarmKit: mark a medication as high-importance and every scheduled dose fires a real full-screen system alarm that breaks through Silent mode and Focus, then escalates until the dose is confirmed. Routine medications get gentle notifications with automatic follow-ups — the user chooses the pressure per medicine. And it does all of this with no accounts, no servers, no analytics, and an App Privacy label that reads “Data Not Collected.”

What makes it different

Real alarms, not notifications

High-importance doses fire full-screen system alarms via AlarmKit that break through Silent mode and Focus and keep escalating until confirmed. The first alarm only stops with the system stop gesture; follow-ups add a one-tap “Accepted” action.

Pressure that fits the dose

Daily vitamins get gentle notifications that follow up at 15, 30, and 45 minutes. The medication you truly cannot miss gets the alarm treatment. The user decides, medicine by medicine.

Private by design

Data lives on the iPhone and, with sync on, in the user’s own private iCloud — out of the developer’s reach. One button removes every record from iCloud. Face ID lock included.

Story angles

Early AlarmKit adopter in health. AlarmKit shipped with iOS 26; PillsCheck is among the first medical apps to build its core experience on it rather than on notifications.
iOS 27 makes the bet pay off. Apps that already use AlarmKit automatically gain Siri entity-level awareness in iOS 27 — PillsCheck picks up Siri integration on day one with no new code.
“Data Not Collected,” literally. A subscription health app with no backend: no accounts, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Sync, when enabled, goes only to the user’s private CloudKit database.
A calendar that proves it’s working. Month-at-a-glance adherence, per-day dose details, and PDF/CSV export for doctor visits. Quiet feedback, not a guilt trip.
Honest about what it is not. No dosage calculation, no interaction warnings, no caregiver sharing — and the App Store description says so. A reminder app that stays in its lane, built by one person.

About PillsCheck

PillsCheck is a medication reminder for iPhone built for doses people cannot afford to miss — chronic prescriptions, hormone schedules, post-surgery regimens, fertility treatments. Built on AlarmKit, it rings real system alarms that break through Silent mode and Focus and escalate until a dose is confirmed, while routine medications get gentle notifications with automatic follow-ups. Schedules mirror real prescriptions, an adherence calendar exports to PDF and CSV, and everything runs without accounts, servers, or analytics — data stays on the device and, optionally, in the user’s own private iCloud. PillsCheck is designed, developed, localized into 11 languages, and supported by Ivan Sokalskyi, a solo developer based in Wrocław, Poland. It is available on the App Store for $1.99/month or $12.99/year, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan.
