I went simple. Created alarms on my phone and named them for the pills I needed then.

Adding the description on the alarm is genius! I, too, use the alarm on my phone to help remind me of meds for my dad. I also keep one of those small notebooks as a log. I need to take his blood pressure twice a day (more if something is going amiss), and his weight daily. So I record them there and then I note the times I have given him which meds. Many of his meds have to be spaced a minimum number of hours from others, so this helps me to keep track. Since hydration is now a big deal, I try to note approximately what is consumed throughout the day as well (but I’m not as good at that. Plus, I don’t want him to know I’m doing it so he doesn’t feel micromanaged.). This way I can take the book in to doc office (it’s small) if we need to discuss blood pressure, how often he has needed water pills or other PRN meds, etc.

@altilla That also works! However, an app does provide history.
