Helper program designed to get called over SSH from an iOS shortcut to help me with regulating doses of a medicine with a non-regular schedule. I designed it to run on a Raspberry Pi on my home WiFi network. Because this is designed to be a purely internal application for only one user, security is not a priority.
- Add new medications
- Delete existing medications.
- Mark doses as taken.
- Refill existing medications.
- See when a medication was last taken, or when it is next due.
- Refill reminders when your medication is less than 7 days from empty.
- Silence low refill reminders/not track remaining inventory.
A manpage is available after installation.
