This article is published by Pillr. We make a medication tracking app, but this page compares MyTherapy and Dosecast for people deciding between those two options.
Quick answer
Choose MyTherapy if you want medication reminders and refill tracking beside symptoms, mood, measurements, appointments, and a broader health diary.
Choose Dosecast if you want reminders based on the time since your last recorded dose, detailed schedule patterns, postponing, smart silencing, or a backup alert when an initial reminder goes unanswered.
Device availability may decide the choice before features do. MyTherapy currently has live listings for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Dosecast remains available on Google Play, but its Apple App Store listing was unavailable in the United States, Australia, and United Kingdom when checked on September 7, 2026.
App choice summary
| Need | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Symptoms, mood, measurements, and appointments | MyTherapy | Its broader health diary keeps these records beside medication and refill history. |
| Reminders based on the last recorded dose | Dosecast | Its official feature list explicitly includes intervals counted from the previous dose. |
| Combined health reports | MyTherapy | Its reports can bring medication, symptoms, mood, and measurements into one record. |
| Postponing, backup alerts, and smart silencing | Dosecast | Dosecast gives these reminder controls a more prominent role. |
Comparison at a glance
| Feature or need | MyTherapy | Dosecast | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medication reminders | Personalised reminders and a daily plan | Offline reminders, postponing, backup alerts, and smart silencing | Both are designed for recurring routines, but the reminder controls differ. |
| Dose records | Taken, skipped, notes, and history | Taken, skipped, late logging, and detailed history in Pro | Check how corrections and actual intake times appear before relying on a report. |
| Schedule options | Flexible personalised schedules | Daily, weekly, monthly, multi-day, and interval-from-last-dose schedules | Dosecast publishes more detail about its schedule patterns. |
| Pill supply and refills | Supply and prescription reminders | Refill tracking in Pro | Check the current plan boundary before moving a supply record. |
| Symptoms, mood, and measurements | Health diary and more than 20 measurements | Not a central feature in current official information | MyTherapy is the clearer fit for a combined medication and symptom record. |
| Reports and sharing | Health reports and one-time clinician sharing | Detailed history that Pro users can view, email, or print | Choose based on the fields and format your appointment needs. |
| More than one person | Family profiles are listed on Android | Multiple people are supported in Pro | Verify current platform, permissions, and plan limits. |
| Device availability | Current iPhone, iPad, and Android listings | Current Android listing; Apple listing unavailable in three checked regions | Check the store for your country before choosing Dosecast. |
Who this comparison is for
This comparison is for someone choosing between two medication reminder apps, especially when schedule flexibility, symptoms, refill tracking, reports, or device availability will decide the fit.
It is not a guide to choosing medication, setting a dose interval, changing a dose, or deciding what to do after a missed dose.
Key differences
MyTherapy is broader-health-diary led. Its current app overview places medication intake, refills, symptoms, mood, measurements, appointments, notes, and health reports inside one ongoing record.
Dosecast is reminder-control led. Its current Google Play page highlights offline reminders, backup alerts, postponing, smart silencing, varied schedule patterns, and reminders measured from the last recorded dose.
The overlap is enough for either app to support a medication routine. The practical difference is whether you want a wider health record around each dose or more control over when and how reminder alerts appear.
Detailed comparison by use case
If schedule flexibility is the main need
MyTherapy supports personalised medication reminders and a daily treatment plan. Its current iPhone release adds one-tap task confirmation, rescheduling, more snooze choices, a clearer calendar for past and upcoming tasks, and low-stock notices.
Dosecast describes daily, weekly, monthly, every-few-days, and interval-from-last-dose schedules. That last option can be useful when the reminder pattern depends on a recorded dose rather than a fixed clock time.
Schedule flexibility is not medical guidance. Only set a reminder pattern that reflects instructions from your prescriber or pharmacist.
If symptoms, mood, or measurements matter
MyTherapy treats symptom, pain, mood, weight, blood pressure, and other measurements as part of its main health diary. It also lists reminders for measurements and appointments.
Dosecast's current official information focuses more narrowly on medication reminders, dose history, refills, syncing, and multiple-person tracking. If a symptom or measurement record is essential, verify whether your current Dosecast edition can capture it in the form you need.
Neither app's charts or records prove that a medication caused or improved a symptom. Use them to organise questions for a healthcare appointment.
If missed reminders and late records matter
Dosecast can send a backup reminder if the first alert is not answered. It also describes postponing, smart silencing, skipping, and recording a dose later when you did not log it at the time.
MyTherapy records taken and skipped medication and builds an intake history. Check how each app shows the scheduled time, actual time, missed state, and later correction before depending on it for appointment preparation.
If reports, family use, or more than one device matter
MyTherapy can create health reports and a medication plan, and it describes one-time clinician sharing. Its wider diary may fit better when the report needs symptoms, mood, measurements, and medication together.
Dosecast Pro describes detailed medication history that can be viewed, emailed, or printed, plus tracking for multiple people and CloudSync across devices. Dosecast does not offer web access according to its current FAQ.
Family profiles, shared access, and tracking several people are different permission models. Confirm who can see, edit, and export each person's record before entering sensitive health information.
If privacy and account setup matter
MyTherapy's privacy policy says the app can be used without an account on one smartphone, but that setup cannot be restored. It also describes encrypted storage in a central European Union database, analytics, advertising consent, and extra consent for some partner features.
Dosecast says its Free edition does not require registration, while Pro CloudSync moves records between devices. Its Google Play data-safety section says no data is shared, but lists personal information, photos and videos, and device or other identifiers as data that may be collected. It also says data is encrypted in transit and deletion can be requested. Review those disclosures rather than assuming a reminder app is local-only.
Check current sign-in, deletion, export, analytics, backup, syncing, and family-sharing rules before entering a full medication history.
Where MyTherapy fits better
- You want medication, symptoms, mood, measurements, appointments, and notes in one health diary.
- You want refill and prescription reminders beside a broader treatment plan.
- You want a health report that combines medication with wider health entries.
- You need a currently listed iPhone, iPad, or Android app.
Where Dosecast fits better
- You want reminders measured from the time of the last recorded dose.
- You want backup alerts, postponing, or smart silencing.
- You want detailed medication history, refill tracking, or multiple-person support and are comfortable checking the current Pro boundary.
- You use Android and want an app whose reminders are designed to work without a data connection.
When neither app may be enough
MyTherapy and Dosecast are broad medication-management apps. If your main need is an ADHD-specific routine with quick taken or skipped records, estimated focus windows, reflections, refill planning, and medication notes, Pillr is a separate option to consider.
What to verify before choosing
- Whether the app is currently available on your device and in your country.
- Whether it supports the exact schedule your prescriber or pharmacist gave you.
- How actual intake time, skipped entries, late records, corrections, and quantities appear in history.
- Which refill, profile, syncing, report, export, and family tools need a paid option.
- Whether a report contains the dates, medication details, symptoms, and measurements your appointment needs.
- How sign-in, deletion, analytics, backup, sharing, and health-data handling work.

For Dosecast, check the current Google Play page for feature, plan, privacy, and support details. Dosecast's former Apple listing remains unavailable in the United States, Australia, and United Kingdom storefronts.
