Estimates, not promises

Supply estimates assume every scheduled dose is used and nothing is dropped, lost or changed. Recount when you can, especially after a dose change or a hospital stay.

Refill estimates that update as you go

DoseBeacon's Refill Center subtracts one per reported dose, adds a fill when you pick one up, and labels everything as an estimate.

Free to download. Free plan includes reminders, 2 active medications and 1 helper.

Refill planner FAQ

How do I estimate when a medication will run out?

Count what's actually on hand, then divide by the number of units used per day according to the label. That gives an approximate number of days. It assumes every scheduled dose is used and nothing is lost, so treat it as an estimate and recount regularly.

When should I request a refill?

Pharmacies and insurers have their own rules about how early a refill can be filled. Ask your pharmacy how much notice they need and set a reminder with enough margin.
