A one-tap medication check-in for iPhone, no subscription
MedProof is a one-tap medicine check-in for a parent's iPhone and a quiet status board for the family member watching from theirs. It costs nothing to use every day; a one-time $4.99 unlock adds the family member's linked view and alerts. No account, ever.
Free to download and use, forever, for the person taking the medicine. $4.99 one-time per linked family member — not a subscription — unlocks their view and alerts. Up to two family members can link.
What it does
One phone shows today's medicines as large cards; one tap confirms a dose. A second phone — a family member's, linked once with a native iCloud invite — shows the same day, read-only, and gets a push only when something needs attention: a dose confirmed late, or one that still hasn't been confirmed by the end of its window. Every other day it says nothing at all, because nothing needs saying, plus one honest line a week.
- · Large, high-contrast cards built for reading at arm's length, with one tap to confirm
- · A read-only family view that shows exactly who confirmed each dose, and when
- · Alerts only for a late or unconfirmed dose — never a buzz for a dose confirmed on time
- · A plain "last updated" line, so silence is never mistaken for a broken connection
- · No account, no sign-up — up to two family members can link, each with their own native iCloud invite

Frequently asked questions
- Is MedProof really free?
- Yes. The person taking the medicine never sees a price or a paywall — every card, every reminder, and every tap is free forever. The only paid feature is the family link, a one-time $4.99 purchase, not a subscription.
- Do I need to create an account?
- No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no account anywhere in the app. Linking a family member's phone uses a native iCloud invite, not a MedProof account.
- Will the family member's phone buzz for every dose?
- No, on purpose. It hears from the app only when something needs attention — a late confirmation, or one that still hasn't come by the end of its grace window — plus one honest line once a week. A dose confirmed on time makes no sound at all.
- Can the family member confirm a dose themselves?
- Yes. If the parent phoned in instead of tapping the card, the family member can confirm it from their own phone — recorded plainly as their own action, never silently as if the parent had tapped it.
- Does MedProof give medical advice or check for drug interactions?
- No. MedProof records what your family tells it — it is a scheduling and confirmation tool, not a medical device. It does not check drug interactions, does not give dosage advice, and a dose that hasn't been confirmed is only ever described that way, never as a fact about what actually happened. For any medical question, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
