About MedReminder

Origin

MedReminder was written by a family caregiver who kept forgetting to reorder a prescription in time. Every existing app either wanted an account, uploaded medicine data to a cloud, or came with a subscription. None of those felt right for something as personal as a medication list.

Philosophy

Local-first, no lock-in. Your medicines stay on your PC. The app opens without a network, and works the same whether or not you have an internet connection. Data lives in files you can copy anywhere.

Technology

MedReminder is a Windows Forms application built on .NET 10. Storage is SQLite via EF Core 10. Backups are encrypted with Windows DPAPI. Email alerts use MailKit. The full stack is documented in the source repository.

Medical disclaimer

MedReminder is strictly an inventory and schedule tracking assistant. It does not automatically calculate, adjust, or suggest clinical dosage changes or medical therapy variations. All dosage modifications must be prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.
