There is no silent notification to swipe away and forget: a dose you have not acknowledged alerts again, and every dose and every cup of water is logged so you can see how you are really doing. It is a reminder tool and does not give medical advice; follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions. **Features** * Dose reminders on the times and days you choose, re-alerting at an interval you set until you mark the dose Taken, Snooze it (10 minutes) or Skip it * A dose left unconfirmed past your grace window is recorded as missed * Full-screen alarm with a looping sound, not just a notification you can dismiss without looking * Water reminders on an interval during your active hours, with a daily goal, one-tap logging, custom amounts and undo * Today view with a countdown to the next dose, a water ring and the day's timeline * History with current and best streaks, 7-day adherence, weekly adherence and water charts, and a day-by-day breakdown * Light, dark or system theme * Works entirely offline: no account, and your schedule and history stay in one local file **Snap notes** * DoseDrop lives in the system tray. Closing the window hides it and keeps the reminders running; choose Quit from the tray menu (Open DoseDrop, Pause 1 hour, Quit) to stop them. Reminders only fire while DoseDrop is running. * Turn on "Start DoseDrop at login" in Settings to have it start with your session. * On a desktop without a system tray (stock GNOME needs the AppIndicator extension, which Ubuntu ships enabled) the hidden window cannot be brought back, so keep the window open there. * The alarm sound is played through your sound server (PulseAudio or PipeWire) by the `audio-playback` interface, which connects automatically. Nothing needs `snap connect`, and DoseDrop makes no network connections. License: Proprietary.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install DoseDrop To install DoseDrop, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install dosedrop ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
