How do medication reminders work?

You define each medicine’s schedule in the app. Mediva One sends local push notifications at those times. On supported iPhones, Live Activities can show the next dose on the lock screen.

Scheduling

Each medicine can have one or more times per day and optional days of the week. The app calculates upcoming doses from that schedule.

Notifications

Local notifications require system permission; without it, reminders will not appear.
Quiet hours and per-category notification settings are available in Profile.
Delivery depends on your device OS, battery settings, and network—not guaranteed to the second.

Logging

Mark doses taken, skipped, or snoozed in the app. History is stored on device and synced when you are signed in.
