# Pill Buddy: Your Engaging Medication Tracker
Welcome to Indie App Spotlight, a weekly feature that highlights the newest apps in the independent app scene. If you’re a developer and wish to showcase your app, please reach out.
Have you ever desired a medication tracker that keeps you inspired, is interactive, and enjoyable to use? [Pill Buddy](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pill-buddy-meds-tracker/id6742357512) is just what you need. Crafted by a former Product Manager at Duolingo, Pill Buddy perfectly captures everything captivating and applies it to yet another tedious task: taking medicine.
## Main Features
[Pill Buddy](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pill-buddy-meds-tracker/id6742357512) encompasses all the essential features expected from a medication tracking application. You can log your medications, receive alerts, and monitor everything from handy home screen widgets. Pill Buddy elevates reminders by offering an option to give you an actual phone call when necessary.
In addition to the basics, Pill Buddy is packed with features designed to keep you engaged. For instance, you have a personal mascot within the app. As you adhere to your dosing schedule, you collect stars (which can be exchanged for items to customize your mascot). If you skip a dose (or frequently do so), your mascot will appear unhappy.
However, if you keep everything in check, you’ll create a streak – all while continuously earning stars for your mascot. The goal is to make it feel personal, encouraging, and enjoyable. Pill Buddy also allows you to tailor your schedule for each medication during the setup process, ensuring the app fits your needs.
## Get the App
[Pill Buddy](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pill-buddy-meds-tracker/id6742357512) can be downloaded for free on the App Store for iPhones with iOS 18.1 or later. It is also accessible on macOS and visionOS as an iOS app. There are no ads in the app.
The developer, Kai, chose to leave his full-time position at Duolingo to dive into indie development full-time – so if this app seems like what you’ve been searching for, give it a try! You can also visit the app’s website [here](https://pillbuddy.app/).
