About the Medication Tracker
Forgetting a dose is one of the most common — and consequential — mistakes in chronic medication management. Studies consistently put real-world adherence to long-term prescriptions between 50% and 70%, and missed doses are responsible for an estimated 125,000 preventable deaths each year in the United States alone. This tracker is a private, no-account tool to help you stay on top of your daily schedule: log each dose as you take it, see today's schedule at a glance, and watch your adherence rate over time.
Everything stays in your browser — there's no sign-in, no cloud sync, and your medication list is never sent anywhere. Add as many medications as you need, set multiple dose times per day, attach notes ("take with food", "avoid grapefruit"), and use color tags to keep them visually distinct.
How to Use the Medication Tracker
- Add each medication. Click Add medication, enter the name, dose ("500 mg", "1 capsule"), and set the time(s) of day you take it. Multiple dose times per day are supported.
- Set the active window. The start date defaults to today; add an end date only if your prescription is finite (e.g. a 7-day course of antibiotics). Leave it blank for ongoing meds.
- Use color tags. If you take several medications, color tags make them quick to scan in the schedule. Reserve red/rose for time-critical meds, calm tones for vitamins or supplements.
- Log each dose. When you take a dose, hit Taken. If you intentionally skip one (e.g. "as needed" pain meds you didn't need), hit Skip. Both are tracked.
- Browse past days. Use the date picker or chevrons to look back. The 7-day chart on the right is clickable — tap any bar to jump to that day's log.
- Check your adherence. The 7-day adherence percentage is the share of scheduled doses you marked as taken. Aim for 90%+ for chronic conditions; below 80% is a warning sign worth discussing with your prescriber.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this send me reminders?
No. This tracker is a manual log, not an alarm clock. For active reminders, set recurring alarms in your phone's native clock app — they're more reliable than browser notifications, which silently stop firing when the tab is closed.
Where is my medication list stored?
Only in your browser's local storage on this device. There's no account, no cloud sync, and nothing is sent to a server. Clearing your browser data will erase your medications and history.
Can I track "as needed" (PRN) medications?
It's designed for scheduled doses, but you can use it for PRN meds by setting a typical time (e.g. 14:00) and marking Skipped on days you didn't need it. This keeps your adherence rate accurate for scheduled meds while still logging when you did take a PRN.
What if I take a dose late?
Just mark it taken whenever you remember — the tracker records the actual taken at time alongside the scheduled time, so you'll see things like "scheduled 08:00 · taken at 09:14". For time-sensitive medications (insulin, anticoagulants, hormonal contraceptives), check with your pharmacist about whether to take the missed dose or skip to the next one.
Can I track medications for someone else?
The tracker doesn't have profiles, but if you're caring for a parent or partner you can use a separate browser profile, an incognito tab (data lost on close), or different devices to keep your lists separate.
What's a good adherence rate to aim for?
Clinical guidelines typically use 80% as the cutoff for "adherent" in research, and 90%+ as the practical target for chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes and antiretrovirals. Anything below 80% sustained over weeks usually means it's worth talking to your prescriber — often the regimen can be simplified.
Is this a substitute for medical advice?
No. This is a logging tool, not a clinical or pharmacological reference. Always follow the dosing instructions your doctor or pharmacist gave you. Never start, stop, or change a medication based on a tracker.
