I'm looking for an open-source medication/pill tracking app.

Requirements:

  • Android support
  • Ability to create custom medication/pill entries
  • Ability to set notification reminders for taking pills
  • Ability to arbitrarily create entries at any date/time

Nice-to-haves:

  • Data export/backup
  • Data-at-rest encryption
  • Data visualizations

Tasks.org on f-droid is great for this kind of use.

Interesting idea to use a tasks app for taking pills (presumably with it set as a recurring task). I agree that the format is quite similar in how the data is input and read, but I think there's still some merit to having a dedicated app for this purpose. Things like data visualizations for dosages, and tracking missed dosages and alternate reminders for things like stock I think are better suited to an app that is dedicated.
