HushknockMedication reminders for your family and pets
Who you can add
In Settings → People & pets, add a person or a pet with a name and a color. When you add a medication, choose who it's for. You stay “Me”, and anything you set up before stays yours.
On the Today screen
Each person gets a section with their name and a count like “1 of 2 taken”. The Taken button, nudges, snooze and the phone-style ring work the same for everyone. Your streak counts only your own doses.
What the notification says
| Setting | Lock screen shows |
|---|---|
| Name shown, medication not discreet | Elif · Amoxicillin · 5 ml |
| Name shown, medication discreet | Time for Elif's 9:00 AM |
| Name hidden, medication discreet | Time for a 9:00 AM dose |
“Show name in notifications” is set per person. Discreet is set per medication, as before.
History and reports, per person
History and the doctor report have a person picker. A pet's report is headed “For the vet”. Each report lists that person's medications with on-time, late and missed doses, notes and side effects you tagged after a dose. More for dogs and cats on the pet medication reminder page.
Running low, appointments and the watch
Pill counts, appointments and the Apple Watch app work for everyone you add. Appointment reminders say “Pamuk's appointment tomorrow, 10:00 AM” only if Pamuk's name is shown; they never name the doctor or the reason. See how the pill counter and the Apple Watch app work.
What it costs, and what happens if you stop
Adding a second person is part of Hushknock Pro, a one-time purchase of $2.99 in the US. No subscription, nothing renews. If Pro ends, everyone you added stays, and their dose reminders keep coming. You can't add someone new until you have Pro again. Without Pro you can still add anyone's medication to your own list, within your 3 free medications; it just won't have its own section.
Privacy
There is no account and no shared server. Everything stays on this iPhone, so this is for a household where one person manages the medications. Hushknock does not send alerts to another person's phone.

Hushknock is a reminder tool, not medical or veterinary advice. Follow the instructions of your doctor, vet or pharmacist, and never change a dose because of this app. Notifications depend on your phone's settings; the silent switch mutes the ring.
