PillSeal vs MyTherapy
MyTherapy is a free medication reminder that also tracks symptoms, measurements and moods, and can produce a health report to take to an appointment. It is the closest of the free apps to Medisafe in what it covers. It covers noticeably more ground than PillSeal does.
The short version
MyTherapy is a health journal with reminders attached. PillSeal is a reminder that will not let you off the hook, with nothing else attached.

What MyTherapy does better
- It is free, with a genuinely broad feature set.
- It tracks more than pills. Blood pressure, weight, mood, symptoms, whatever your condition needs following. It also reminds you when a refill is due.
- Reports for appointments. If your doctor wants to see how the last three months went, MyTherapy is built for that and PillSeal is not.
- Android. PillSeal is iPhone only.
What PillSeal does that it does not
- The reminder is an alarm. MyTherapy reminds you with a notification, and on iOS silent mode and Focus suppress a standard notification unless you have allowed that app through. PillSeal uses a real iOS alarm that sounds regardless, and returns until you take the dose.
- Confirmation that means something. Marking a dose taken in any app is a tap you can make on autopilot. PillSeal asks for a short, calm camera moment instead.
- Your health data never leaves your phone. MyTherapy syncs through an account. PillSeal has no account and no server.
- Food timing. If a dose has to be taken with food, PillSeal checks whether you have eaten before it will confirm the dose.
When MyTherapy is the better choice
- You are managing a condition where the medication is only part of what needs tracking.
- You want to hand your doctor a record at the next appointment.
- You are on Android, or you want the app free.
When PillSeal is the better choice
- Missing doses, not recording them, is the actual problem.
- Your phone is on silent or in Focus for much of the day.
- You would rather your health data never reached a server at all.

Common questions
Is MyTherapy free?
Yes, and with a genuinely broad feature set: reminders, symptom and measurement tracking, and reports. PillSeal is a paid subscription after a 3-day trial and does much less on purpose.
Does MyTherapy work on Android?
Yes, MyTherapy is on both iPhone and Android. PillSeal is iPhone only, because it depends on the iOS alarm mechanism, so if you use Android the comparison ends there.
Can MyTherapy produce a report for my doctor?
Yes, that is one of the things it is built for. PillSeal cannot: there is no export and no share option, so if you need a record to take to an appointment, MyTherapy is the better fit.
