The short answer
Doz does more than set alarms. Where Pill Reminder - All in One keeps a list of reminders on one device, Doz syncs through your own iCloud, groups medications under each prescription, anchors doses to meals, keeps doses on local time when you travel, answers Siri, and can import from Apple Health.
Both keep your data off company servers and both can ring through Silent with Critical Alerts. Pill Reminder - All in One is cheaper to unlock at $2.99, but recent reviews describe history being wiped when a schedule is edited and reminders going wrong across time zones. If you want your medications organised, synced and travel-proof, Doz is worth the upgrade.
Why choose Doz over Pill Reminder - All in One
- Syncs automatically. Doz uses your private iCloud, so a new iPhone picks up everything. Pill Reminder - All in One offers manual backup and restore, and reviewers mention it not syncing between iPhone and iPad.
- Travel-proof. Doz reschedules doses to keep their local clock time when you change time zone. Pill Reminder - All in One's listing does not address time zones, and reviews from 2024 to 2026 report reminders not adjusting.
- Prescriptions and meals. Each prescription is one card with its medications, doctor and course dates, and doses can be set before, with or after breakfast, lunch or dinner.
- Set up by typing the label. Type an instruction as written and Doz builds the schedule on your iPhone (in English).
- Siri, widgets and Apple Health import. Ask what you take today or what is running low for free; interactive widgets and the Health import come with Doz Pro.
Try Doz free. No account, no ads. Up to 4 medications free; Doz Pro is $19.99 once or $9.99 a year.
