Pillo is the best free pill reminder app for Android in 2026. Its persistent alarm system won't stop until you respond, solving the #1 problem with medication reminders.
MyTherapy is the best runner-up for users who want integrated health tracking (blood pressure, weight, blood sugar) alongside medication reminders.
MedTimer is the top choice for privacy-conscious users. Open-source, zero data collection, no account required.
Medisafe is no longer on the list after moving to a paid subscription model in January 2026, limiting free users to just 2 medications.
The key differentiator between apps that work and those that don't is alarm persistence. Standard notifications are too easy to swipe away and forget.
