History & export
Medication history you can trust
“Did I take it on Tuesday?” should be a five-second question, and your history shouldn't grade you for the answer.
A dose log does two jobs. Day to day it settles arguments with your own memory — the Tuesday question, the was-that-this-morning-or-yesterday question. Occasionally it does something more consequential: a clinician asks how consistently you've actually been taking something, and a real record is worth far more than an apologetic guess. What a log should not do is turn into a performance review. Kounts Dose deliberately has no adherence percentage, no streaks and no badges, because a number that grades you tends to make people stop logging honestly — or stop logging at all — right when the record is becoming useful.
How it works
Month calendar
A month at a glance with a dot on each day, so patterns show up as shapes rather than numbers. Tap a day for everything logged on it, and filter by medicine when you only care about one.
Week grid
Every medicine against every day of the week, so a single look tells you which medicine is the one slipping. Statuses pair a glyph with a colour rather than relying on colour alone, and tapping a cell opens that day's log.
Full log
The complete chronological history grouped by day, with per-day tallies of taken, missed and skipped, and paging back through earlier days. This is the view for answering a precise question about a precise date.
A printable medication list
For one person or for everyone: every medicine with its strength, the size of one dose, when it's taken, how to take it, what it's for, a dated supply count and who prescribed it. You see the whole document before you share it, and it prints cleanly in black and white on A4 or US Letter.
An appointment pack
Pick the last 7 days, 30 days or 3 months, everything since your last pack, or two dates of your own. The pack is the medication list followed by a dated log per medicine: when each dose was due, what happened, and the notes and side effects you recorded. It has no score, and every page carries its date.
CSV export
Export the dose log and your medicine list as CSV whenever you want — for your own records, a spreadsheet, or to hand to a clinician. The log carries the notes and side effects you recorded, and the medicine list says how each one is taken and who prescribed it. Your data leaves when you decide it should.
The details that matter
Taken, skipped and missed are different things
Skipping deliberately isn't the same as forgetting, and a log that conflates them is a log you can't reason from. Dose records them distinctly, so the history reflects what actually happened rather than flattening it into compliance.
A missed dose can be put right
Once a day is over, a dose nobody answered is recorded as missed, but “I didn't take it” and “I didn't tap it” are different records. Tap any row in History and say what actually happened: taken, and when, skipped, or missed. The pack count follows unless you've recounted the pack since, and it's free on every tier. A scheduled dose logged by mistake can be removed while its day is still running, and an extra dose at any time.
Note how a dose went
Twelve one-tap side effects, such as nausea, headache or trouble sleeping, plus a free note, on any dose in History. Dose doesn't interpret, warn about or act on any of it. It's a place to write down what you'd otherwise try to remember until the next appointment.
No scores, on purpose
No adherence percentage, no streaks, no badges. The pressure those create is exactly what makes people log dishonestly or abandon an app after a bad week — and a record you've stopped trusting is worthless precisely when it matters.
Readable with VoiceOver
Calendar day cells announce the date along with taken, missed or skipped state, history rows read as single elements instead of fragments, and status is never conveyed by colour alone. A record you can't read isn't a record.
What this costs
History — the calendar, week grid and log views — is available on every tier, and so is correcting it. The printable medication list, the appointment pack and CSV export are part of the one-time $9.99 Dose Plus unlock.
Questions, answered
Can I export my medication history?
Yes — CSV export covers both your dose log and your medicine list, and it's part of the one-time $9.99 Dose Plus unlock. The file is yours to open in Numbers or Excel, keep, or send to a clinician.
Can I show my doctor a record of what I've taken?
Yes. With Dose Plus, make an appointment pack: pick a period and Dose produces a PDF of your medication list followed by a dated log of each dose taken, skipped or missed, with your notes and side effects. You preview it first, then print it or send it from the share sheet. It deliberately has no adherence percentage. Without Plus, show the calendar or week grid on your phone.
I forgot to log a dose. Can I fix it?
Yes. Tap the dose in History, in the log, a calendar day or the week grid, and say what happened: taken, with the time, or skipped. It's free on every tier.
Does it show an adherence percentage?
No, deliberately, and neither do the PDFs. History is a plain record of taken, skipped and missed doses with no score, streak or grade attached — the goal is a log you keep honestly for years, not a metric to optimise.
How far back does history go?
It keeps your full history on the device, and the log view pages back through earlier days as far as your records go. Nothing is trimmed to a rolling window.
Is my history uploaded anywhere?
No. It stays on your device unless you turn on iCloud sync, in which case it goes only to your own private iCloud database, which we cannot read. Export is something you initiate — nothing is sent on your behalf.
Take the calm way.
A private, beautifully simple way to stay on top of your medication — and never run out.
