Pill Time vs PlugBrain
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Pill Time
Pill Time is a simple Android app to help you keep track of meds that can be taken as needed (not at a specific time). * Enter your meds: choose a name, a colour, and a maximum dosage (e.g. max 2 every 6 hours). * Enter your doses (time, date, and amount). * Receive a notification when a dose expires. From the main app screen, see the current status of each med, including total current dose, last time taken, and time until the next dose expires. * No ads or trackers * Light and dark themes DISCLAIMER: This app does not provide any medical advice, implied or otherwise. All information provided by the app is based only on user input and does not constitute a recommendation of any kind. All medical decisions should always be taken in consultation with medical professionals. This is a simple app made by one person for personal use. It cannot be relied upon for any health-related purposes. Because of technical limitations and known issues, it cannot be guaranteed to provide notifications at specific times. (For example, restarting the phone will unfortunately disable all future notifications from this app.) This app is not appropriate for meds that need to be taken regularly on a set schedule. It was built to track meds that may be taken when needed, but in limited amounts.
PlugBrain
PlugBrain is an app that encourages regular breaks from distracting apps by blocking access at scheduled intervals. To regain access, you’ll need to solve a math challenge that adjusts in difficulty: the more frequently you use the apps, the harder the challenges become, but the longer you stay away, the easier they get. **Features** - No ads - No internet required - Blocks distracting apps - Unblock apps by solving math challenges - Difficulty increases with frequent use, decreases with focus **How to use** - Grant all required permissions - Select distracting apps - Choose your focus interval - Stay focused ;)
