Home / Missed dose tracker

A missed dose tracker that asks, then keeps the record straight

Busy morning, forgot to tap the reminder? When you open Cadence, any scheduled dose left unlogged appears in one list. Say you took it and when, or that you didn't. Free on iPhone, with no account.

How it works

  1. A scheduled dose from today or yesterday is still unlogged two hours or more after its time.
  2. Next time you open Cadence, it appears in a sheet with any others, one row per dose.
  3. Took it: set the time you took it and, if you like, why it was late: forgot, was asleep, away from home, ran out, side effects or something else, plus a note.
  4. Didn't take it: pick a reason if you want one. The dose is recorded as skipped.
  5. Not ready? Close the sheet. Those doses wait a few hours before Cadence asks again.

What it does

Reasons in your history

Dose History shows why a dose was late or skipped, and any note, next to the dose.

Asks once

A dose you answer, or set aside with "Not now", is not raised again.

Only scheduled doses

As-needed medications and every-few-hours doses never appear, so the list stays short.

Turn it off

Prefer not to be asked? Switch off "Ask about missed doses when I open Cadence" in Settings, under Reminders.

Follow-up reminders first

An unanswered reminder still gets a second nudge before it ever reaches this list.
