Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about PillNest
How do I add a new medicine?
Tap the "+" button on the Medicines tab to open the Add Medicine form. Enter the medicine name, dosage, and optionally add a photo and inventory count. Tap "Save" to add it to your list.
Will alarms work when my phone is off or in Do Not Disturb mode?
PillNest uses Android's native alarm system for maximum reliability. Alarms will ring even in Do Not Disturb mode if you grant the necessary permissions. However, alarms cannot ring when the phone is completely powered off.
Is my data backed up to the cloud?
By default, all your medicine data is stored locally on your device for maximum privacy. However, we now offer optional Google Sign-In which securely stores your account information. In future updates, this will allow you to sync your medicine data across multiple devices.
Which languages are supported?
PillNest supports 24 languages including English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Urdu, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Marathi, Odia, and Konkani.
How do I set up inventory tracking?
When adding or editing a medicine, scroll down to the Inventory section. Enter the current stock count. PillNest will automatically decrease the count each time you take the medicine and warn you when stock is low.
Is PillNest really free?
