Dose is designed without an account, advertising, or analytics. Your medication routine is stored on your device and stays under your control.

The short version

Dose does not require an account, run advertising, or use analytics SDKs. Health data is read only with your permission and is never used for advertising or sold.

1. Who this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains how Dose: Meds on Time for iPhone and Apple Watch, and the website at doseontime.app, handle information. Dose is provided by the developer identified on its App Store product page (“Dose,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

2. Information stored on your device

Dose can store information you choose to enter or import, including medication names and details, schedules, treatment-end reminders, dose logs, dose notes and skip reasons, symptom entries and journal notes, refill settings, notification preferences, and trusted-contact details. This information is stored locally in the app’s container and shared app group so Dose features, widgets, and the paired Apple Watch app can work.

We do not operate an account system or a server that receives this local Dose database. Local data can remain in device backups controlled by you and Apple. You can delete individual medication records in Dose; uninstalling the app removes its locally stored app data from that device, subject to any backups you control.

3. Apple Health information

If you choose to connect Apple Health, Dose requests per-medication, read-only access to:

  • Medications you have chosen to share with Dose.
  • Medication dose events and recent dose history associated with those medications.

Dose uses this information to import and refresh your medication schedule and dose history. Imported information is stored locally with your other Dose data. Dose does not write to or modify Apple Health, sell Health data, use it for advertising or marketing, or disclose it to data brokers.

You can deny access or change permissions at any time in Apple’s Health or Settings apps. Apple controls the HealthKit store and its permission system.

4. Medication entry

You can enter medication names, types, and strengths manually. Dose stores these details locally with your other app data. Typing a medication name does not send it to a public medication search service.

5. Notifications, Apple Watch, and sharing

Local notifications

If permitted, Dose schedules medication reminders through Apple’s notification system on your device. Dose does not use a remote advertising or marketing notification service.

Apple Watch

Dose may transfer the current dose schedule and actions between your iPhone and paired Apple Watch using Apple’s Watch connectivity framework and shared app storage.

Reports and trusted contacts

Trusted-contact details stay on your device. Dose does not automatically contact anyone. PDF reports, CSV exports, and medication summaries are generated locally and leave Dose only when you initiate sharing through Apple’s system share sheet. You choose the reporting period and whether reports include symptoms and private symptom notes. The recipient and destination you select then handle that information under their own policies.

Backup and restore

You can create a Dose JSON backup containing medicines, schedules, dose history, journal entries, and notes. Backups are readable files containing health information. Choose a storage location you trust; a file you save to a cloud service is handled under that provider’s policies. Dose does not automatically upload backups to a developer-operated server.

When restoring a backup, Dose lets you preview and merge its records. Matching records are replaced with the backup version; other records are kept. Exported or shared copies remain wherever you saved or sent them, even if you later delete the original records in Dose.

6. Website information

The Dose website does not set advertising cookies or run analytics scripts. It is hosted by Cloudflare, which may process standard connection and security information such as IP address, browser details, requested URL, and timestamps to deliver and protect the site. The site loads Plus Jakarta Sans from Google Fonts, so your browser may connect to Google to retrieve font files.

Those providers handle information under their own privacy terms. We do not receive a profile of your medication activity from the website.

7. Retention and security

Local app information remains until you edit or delete it, remove the app, or restore or retain it through a device backup. Internet transmissions and device storage can never be guaranteed completely secure, but Dose minimizes exposure by keeping its primary records local and requesting only the permissions used by its features.

8. Your choices and rights

You can use Dose without connecting Apple Health, change Health and notification permissions in system settings, edit or delete medication records, and decide whether to export or share reports or create and restore backups.

Because we do not maintain user accounts or receive your local Dose database, we generally cannot access, correct, export, or delete that information for you. You can exercise those controls directly on your device. Rights provided by applicable privacy law continue to apply.

9. Children

Dose is not directed to children who cannot legally consent to use a health application in their country. A parent or guardian should supervise use where required by law and healthcare guidance.

10. Updates and contact

We may update this policy when Dose’s features or legal obligations change. We will post the new version here and update the effective date.

Privacy questions can be sent through the developer contact or support channel shown on the Dose App Store product page.
