RxRemindersChoose who can help
Each person or pet is shared separately. Give someone access to the care they help with, without sharing the whole household.
Choose what they can do
Choose the level that fits the help someone provides.
- View: see the schedule and dose record, and receive missed-dose notices.
- Confirm: also record doses and receive dose reminders.
- Manage: also add or change medications and schedules.
App steps
How do I share a child’s care with a co-parent or partner?
Invite them from the child’s page, and choose how much they can do: see the day, also record doses, or also change medications and schedules. Each person or pet is shared on their own, and you can change or remove access at any time.
- On the child’s page, tap Details & sharing, then Add someone to keep an eye, Add someone who gives doses or Add a caretaker.
- Tap Send invite and send it to one person in Messages.
- Once they accept on their iPhone, they’re listed in People with access.
Keep an adult in control
If you created a profile for an adult, invite them to take it over when they are ready. They can keep you managing their care, or take ownership and choose the access you keep.
App steps
How do I give an adult I care for their own profile?
Invite them to their own profile, or offer it to them once they’ve joined. On their iPhone they can keep you managing, or take it over: their history moves to their iCloud with them, and they choose whether you keep Manage, Confirm, View or nothing.
- On their page, tap Details & sharing, then the row that invites them to their own profile, and tap Send invite.
- If they already record doses or manage, tap them under People with access and offer them their profile.
- On their iPhone, they tap Take over my profile, or choose to keep you managing.
- They choose what you keep, then tap Take over.
Share selected medications
On their own profile, an adult can choose which medications to share. Anyone with Manage sees all medications. Medications with a shared ingredient stay together; the app explains which ones are affected.
App steps
Can I keep some of my own medications private?
Yes, on your own profile. Medications you don’t share stay on your devices and in your iCloud, and the people you share with don’t see them, or that any are missing. Medications that share an ingredient are shared together, and anyone with Manage sees all of them, so the app asks before you give someone Manage.
- On your own page, tap Details & sharing, then Medications.
- Choose Chosen medications, then turn off each medication you want to keep private.
- When you add a medication, leave the switch that names the people you share with off.
Turn off your reminders while off duty
Turn off your reminders for a shared person for a while or on a repeating schedule. Their doses remain visible, and other caregivers keep their reminders. The app will not turn yours off if nobody else would be reminded.
App steps
Can I stop my reminders for a shared child while I’m off duty?
Yes. You can turn off just your own reminders for someone you share, for a while or on a repeating schedule such as alternate weeks, and everyone else is still reminded. The app won’t turn them off if nobody else would be reminded, and tells you if that changes later.
- On the person’s page, tap Details & sharing, then Your reminders.
- Choose Until I turn them back on, Until tomorrow morning or Until…, then tap Turn off.
- For a repeating pattern, tap On a schedule… instead, set it up and save it.
- On Today, their row says your reminders are off. Tap Turn on to get them again.
Review or leave
Review people and links in People with access. After you remove someone, their device removes its copy on the next sync. A revoked link stops working the next time it is opened. Doses already recorded stay in history.
Before leaving a shared profile, check whether any doses you recorded are still waiting to be shared. The app tells you before you leave.
App steps
How do I see who has access, and take it away?
People with access lists everyone you share with and every link, person by person, with when each one last logged a dose. Someone you remove loses access at once, and their copy goes the next time their app syncs. A revoked link stops working the next time it’s opened, and doses already confirmed through it are kept.
- In Settings, open People with access.
- Tap a person to choose another level, or tap Remove access, then Remove.
- Tap a link, then tap Revoke and confirm.
