Medication reminders that arrive as a text.
No app to install. No account to manage. A message shows up when it's time, and a one-word reply says it's done.
Set up once. By them, or by you.
The schedule gets set up one time, by the person taking the medication or by a family member helping out. After that there's nothing to open and nothing to remember to check.
If it gets texts, it works.
An old phone, a new phone, a phone that mostly lives in a kitchen drawer. No downloads, no passwords, no updates, no screens to learn.
A reply is all it asks.
Read the text, take the medication, send a reply. That's the whole thing, every day.

Why we're building it
MedSched started after watching a family member struggle to keep up with his medications during a long, serious illness. The apps that were meant to help were more than he could manage.
So we're building the plainest thing we could think of: a text at the right time, and a reply when it's done.
