Pillr vs MyTherapy
for medication tracking

Quick answer

Choose Pillr if ADHD medication is the main routine you want to track and you want reminders, clear dose history, estimated focus windows, short reflections, refill planning, and appointment notes in one local-first app.

Choose MyTherapy if you want medication reminders beside a wider health journal for symptoms, pain, mood, blood pressure, weight, injection sites, family profiles, and Android devices.

Both can be downloaded free and both list paid options. The useful choice is not a universal winner; it is whether you need an ADHD-focused personal record or a broader treatment and measurement journal.

App choice summary

Comparison at a glance

Who this comparison is for

This comparison is for someone deciding between an ADHD-focused medication tracker and a broader medication-and-health journal. It is especially useful if your choice depends on focus-window records, symptoms, pain, measurements, injection sites, family profiles, Android support, appointment reports, or privacy setup.

It is not a guide to choosing medication, changing a dose, setting medical timing, or deciding what to do after a missed dose.

Key differences

Pillr is ADHD-routine led. It is built around quick taken or skipped records, estimated focus windows based on personal settings, short focus, mood, symptom, and side-effect reflections, pill counts, and appointment preparation.

MyTherapy is broader health-journal led. Its current official app page and Google Play listing describe medication reminders, intake records, refill tools, symptoms, pain, mood, measurements, injection-site tracking, family profiles, and health reports.

The overlap is real. Both support medication reminders, dose records, refills, reports, and health notes. The practical difference is whether medication is the centre of an ADHD routine or one part of a wider treatment journal.

Detailed comparison by use case

If ADHD medication follow-through is the main job

Pillr is the clearer fit when you want a record that stays close to the ADHD medication routine. The reminder, dose log, estimated focus window, short reflection, refill status, and appointment notes can be reviewed together.

This is useful when the hard part is not only hearing an alert. It is also checking whether you logged the dose, seeing what you noticed later, and bringing a clearer history to a medication review.

If symptoms and measurements are just as important

MyTherapy is the broader option. It describes a health journal for symptoms, pain, mood, blood pressure, weight, blood sugar, blood oxygen, and other measurements, with reminders for measurements and daily activities.

It also supports injection-site tracking. That makes it a better fit when medication is only one part of a wider condition-management record.

If refills and medication supply matter

Both apps support medication supply records. Pillr tracks total pills, pills remaining, pills per dose, and refill status beside the medication routine.

MyTherapy describes a pill counter plus refill and prescription reminders. Before choosing, check whether the current free or paid plan supports every medication and profile you need.

If you want records for an appointment

Pillr combines medication history exports with My Appointment preparation, local appointment recording and transcription, an editable summary, and follow-up notes. Appointment audio, transcripts, and notes stay on the device.

MyTherapy describes health reports, a medication plan, intake history, and temporary sharing through a one-time code. That may be the better fit if you want measurements and symptoms included in a broader treatment report.

If family or device choice matters

MyTherapy is available on iPhone, iPad, and Android. Its current Google Play information also describes family profiles for managing several medication and health routines in one account.

Pillr is Apple-focused and has no caregiver account system. It is designed first as a personal local record, with user-initiated exports when someone wants to share medication history.

If account and privacy setup matter

Pillr has no Pillr account. Medication records and checked recovery copies stay on the iPhone; you can choose a checked copy to restore in Settings. Pillr does not offer cloud backup or syncing. The Pillr privacy page explains optional features and analytics separately.

MyTherapy's current privacy policy says the app can be used with or without an account. Without an account, use is limited to one smartphone and the data cannot be restored if the phone is lost. The policy also describes encrypted storage in a central European Union database, analytics, optional advertising consent, and additional sharing rules for selected partner features.

Where Pillr fits better

• ADHD medication is the main routine you want to track.
• You want focus-window estimates and short post-dose reflections beside dose history.
• You want a local-first personal medication record with no Pillr account.
• You want medication history, refill planning, and appointment notes in one focused flow.

Where MyTherapy fits better

• You need Android support or want to use an iPad.
• You want symptoms, pain, mood, and health measurements beside medication records.
• You need injection-site tracking.
• You want family profiles or a broader treatment journal.

Why Pillr is a strong fit for ADHD medication tracking

Pillr is strongest when ADHD medication follow-through is the problem to solve. It keeps the reminder, completed action, focus-window estimate, reflection, refill status, and appointment record close together instead of treating them as separate jobs.

It does not tell you what medication to take, what dose to take, or how to respond to missed doses or side effects. It helps you organise a clearer record for your own review and for conversations with a qualified healthcare professional.

What to verify before choosing

• Whether the app supports every phone, tablet, or other device you plan to use.
• Which medication, reminder, refill, report, family, and journal features need a paid plan.
• Whether the history shows actual intake times, skipped entries, symptoms, measurements, and notes you need.
• Whether you need an account for backup, family profiles, sharing, or moving to a new phone.
• How backup, analytics, advertising, sharing, and deletion work for your chosen setup.
• Whether the report format fits the appointments and healthcare conversations you are preparing for.
