Med Home Kit — medicine tracker app for iPhone and Android

Know what’s in your medicine cabinet. And until when.

20-second check

Check whether your medicines have expired

Take a package, find “Use by” or “EXP” on it and enter the month and year. The site shows how much time is left.

    Medicines are good until the last day of the stated month. Nothing is stored or sent: the check runs only in your browser.

    How it works

    Tracking medicines in four steps: from a drawer to order

    Step 1 of 4

    Add the medicines you already have

    Sort them into kits: home, travel, country house. Each medicine can have several packages.

    • quantity, expiry date, price and pharmacy for each package;
    • categories for quick search.

    Step 2 of 4

    Take doses on reminder

    The app reminds you to take a dose and deducts the tablet from the current package. When it runs out, it moves on to the next one.

    • reminders for doses and important actions;
    • voice reminders to record health metrics.

    Step 3 of 4

    Record blood pressure, sugar, pulse and temperature

    Each entry is marked as normal or not, and charts show how your metrics change. They are easy to show to your doctor.

      Voice reminders

      A reminder you won’t miss, even when you’re not looking at your phone

      The app reminds you out loud to measure blood pressure, pulse or sugar. Choose a male or female voice. It helps older people and anyone who takes measurements every day.

      Symptom journal

      Show your doctor how you felt over time, not just “something hurts”

      Record symptoms with an intensity from 1 to 10. The app keeps the history, shows which symptoms are still active and which have passed, and helps you tell your doctor how things changed.

      Questions and answers

      Frequently asked questions about Med Home Kit

      Is Med Home Kit free?

      Yes, you can download the app for free from the App Store and Google Play. Some advanced features, such as symptom episodes and spending analytics by pharmacy, come with a Pro subscription.

      How do I find a medicine’s expiry date?

      Look on the package for “EXP”, “Use by” or “Expiry date” followed by a month and year, for example 03/2027. When only the month and year are given, the medicine is good until the last day of that month. Use the expiry checker above to see how much time is left.

      Can I take expired medicine?

      It is better not to. After the expiry date, the manufacturer no longer guarantees that the medicine works as intended and stays safe. If in doubt, ask a pharmacist or your doctor.

      How does the app remind me about expiry dates?

      Each package keeps its own expiry date. The app warns you when it is getting close and shows active, expired and archived packages separately.

      Can I keep several medicine kits?

      Yes. Create, for example, a home kit, a travel kit and one for the country house, and tag medicines with categories. Search works across all kits at once.

      Can I record blood pressure, blood sugar and pulse?

      Yes. The app stores blood pressure, blood sugar, pulse and temperature, marks whether a reading is in the normal range and draws charts. Voice reminders tell you when it is time to measure.

      What happens to my data if I change phones?

      Your data is linked to your account and syncs between your devices. You can delete your account and all data right in the app, read more about account deletion.

      The app is not a medical device, does not diagnose, does not take medical measurements on its own and does not replace a consultation with a doctor. Consult a qualified medical professional before making medical decisions.

      Put your medicine cabinet in order in one evening

      Add the medicines you already have at home, and the app will keep track of them from then on.
