In detail

What sets Pilleken apart from simple pill alarms.

Intake schedules for every rhythm

Medications rarely follow a simple “daily at 8 am” pattern. Pilleken supports all common patterns without compromise:

  • Daily – classic, one or more times per day
  • Specific weekdays – any days you like (Mon, Tue, …)
  • Cyclic – X days on, Y days off (e.g. 21/7 for the pill)
  • Every X days – every 2, 3, 7 … 90 days
  • After a medication – automatically N minutes after another intake
  • Weekend variants – different times for Sat/Sun
  • Meal relation – before, with or after a meal

  • Per-medication breakdown with progress bars
  • Interactive intake table (days × medications)

  • All views exportable as PDF

The heart of the app: a clear overview of all of today's medications, sorted by time.

  • Postpone by 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes (or a custom duration)

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know before you get started.

Is Pilleken free?

Yes. Pilleken is free for up to 2 medications, with all core features available. With a Premium subscription (monthly, quarterly or as a one-time lifetime purchase) you can manage an unlimited number of medications and unlock iCloud sync, PDF export and all advanced statistics.

Which devices does Pilleken run on?

Pilleken runs natively on iPhone (iOS 16+) and iPad (iPadOS 16+). With a Premium subscription, all data is automatically synchronized between your devices via iCloud.

What is the German Federal Medication Plan (BMP)?

The BMP (Bundeseinheitlicher Medikationsplan) is the standardized medication plan format used as a reference by doctors' offices and pharmacies in Germany. Pilleken creates it automatically from your medications – as a PDF with QR code, ready to print or to show on your phone. QR codes from external BMPs can also be scanned directly.

How do cyclic intake schedules work?

Cyclic schedules are meant, for example, for the contraceptive pill (21 days on, 7 days off). Simply enter the number of intake days and break days – Pilleken automatically calculates on which days the medication appears in the daily view.

Is my health data sent to any servers?

No. All data stays on your device. The optional iCloud backup (Premium feature) stores data exclusively in your personal iCloud account managed by Apple. There is no Pilleken server that receives or processes your data.

Can I undo an intake?

Yes. Every intake you mark as “taken” or “skipped” can be undone in the Plan or Today view with a swipe or a tap.
