Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Peter, a UK indie developer who built TabletMinder to solve a real problem: there's no medication reminder app designed specifically for UK healthcare. **The problem I was solving:** I have chronic health conditions and relied on Medisafe for years. In December 2025, they announced free users would be limited to just 2 medications starting January 2026. For chronically ill patients managing 5-10+ medications, this was essentially forcing a £40/year subscription. On Reddit, MoneySavingExpert forums, and UK health communities, thousands of patients expressed the same frustration. Many were on disability benefits where £40/year is a significant expense. **What was missing from existing solutions:** ❌ No UK medication databases (most apps don't include NHS medicines) ❌ Privacy concerns (health data stored on external servers) ❌ Limited offline functionality ❌ Missing British terminology and NHS integration **So I built TabletMinder with three principles:** 1️⃣ **Free forever** - 5 medications is genuinely useful, not a trial bait-and-switch 2️⃣ **Privacy-first** - Your medication data never leaves your iPhone. I literally cannot see what you take, when you take it, or anything else. Apple "Data Not Collected" label. 3️⃣ **UK-native** - Complete NHS Dictionary of Medicines and Devices (50,000+ medications) bundled in the app. Search works offline. Built for British patients using NHS services. **Technical details:** - Built with SwiftUI + GRDB.swift for local SQLite storage - Complete NHS dm+d database bundled (15MB compressed) - FTS5 full-text search for instant autocomplete (<10ms) - Works 100% offline (perfect for hospitals, flights, poor signal areas) - Notifications use iOS Time Sensitive alerts **Why launch now?** Medisafe's paywall goes into effect January 2026. Reddit threads, UK forums, and Discord communities are actively discussing alternatives RIGHT NOW. Timing this launch to capture users looking for better options. **Current status:** - Submitted to Apple App Store (pending approval) - In ORCHA assessment queue (NHS Digital Health Library approval) - Reaching out to patient advocacy orgs (Diabetes UK, Epilepsy Action, BHF) **Roadmap:** - Apple Watch complications ⌚ - Drug interaction warnings 💊 - NHS App integration for repeat prescriptions 🏥 - Dosette box weekly view 📅 - Android version (if iOS gains traction) 🤖 **Pricing philosophy:** Free tier (5 medications) covers 70% of users permanently. Pro unlock (unlimited meds + full history) is £1.99/month, £14.99/year, or £39.99 lifetime - affordable and sustainable. I'd rather have 1,000 happy free users and 100 paying users than trap everyone in subscriptions. **Who this is for:** - Chronic illness patients managing multiple medications - ADHD medication schedules (Elvanse, Concerta timing matters) - Diabetes insulin reminders (timing critical) - Elderly care and family carers (get alerts when doses missed) - Anyone looking for a privacy-first UK medication app **Questions I expect:** *"Why iOS only?"* → Validating the UK market first. Android follows if this gains traction. *"Why not just use Apple Health Medications?"* → Apple's feature requires 6 steps to log a dose vs 2 in TabletMinder. No UK medication database. Notifications are quieter. Doesn't work on iPad. *"How is the NHS database different?"* → The NHS dm+d includes every UK medication with proper British names: Paracetamol (not Acetaminophen), Co-codamol, Lansoprazole, etc. Generic and branded versions. Works offline. *"What about privacy?"* → I architected this specifically so I CAN'T see your data even if I wanted to. No user accounts, no cloud sync (optional iCloud backup controlled by you), no analytics. This is how health apps should be built. If you're looking for a UK-focused medication reminder, I'd love your feedback. And if you know someone managing medications (or struggling with ADHD med schedules), please share this. 🇬🇧 Happy to answer any questions! Peter TabletMinder.co.uk support@ukhealth.app
