TickGroup by moment
Morning, lunch, workout, and night are easier to remember than disconnected times.
No dose advice
The app organizes the routine. It does not decide what you should take.
Use any app on this list to remember and record. Dose, combinations with medication, contraindications, and real need should be evaluated with a healthcare professional.
Tick does not recommend supplements, doses, or combinations. It only organizes check-offs for items you already decided to use with appropriate guidance.
Name clearly
Use names you recognize quickly: Creatine, Vitamin D, Omega-3.
Start with a few
Add only what is truly part of the current routine.
Use realistic reminders
The best time is the time when you are near the item.
Check off immediately
Recording right away avoids the "did I take it or only think about it?" doubt.
Review monthly
Remove items that left the routine so the app does not become clutter.
Comparison
Apps for vitamins, supplements, and self-care.
| App | Best for | Advantage | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tick | Simple supplements and care on Android. | No account, categories, reminders, widget, history, and calm language. | Does not check interactions with medication or health conditions. |
| MyTherapy | Vitamins alongside medication, symptoms, measurements, and reports. | The app positions itself for medication, vitamins, birth control, stock, and health diary. | Can be too broad for people who only want supplements. |
| Pillo | People who want strong alarms, stock, checks, and supplement support. | Includes vitamin and supplement reminders, stock, and interaction alerts. | More clinical and insistent than an everyday tracker. |
| Pepti | GLP-1 with weight, effects, photos, stock, and appointments. | Useful when the routine is not just supplements, but personal GLP-1 treatment tracking. | Specific to GLP-1; for simple vitamins, Tick is more direct. |
| Loop Habit Tracker | Supplements as habits without critical dose or timing. | Charts, widgets, free/open-source app, and strong habit tracking. | Not designed for medication or per-item dose history. |
| Google Calendar/Tasks | Basic reminders without a new app. | Recurring tasks and timed notifications. | No dose history or dedicated care screen. |
Tick fits well for...
- Creatine, multivitamins, omega-3, and simple daily items.
- Self-care routines with approximate timing.
- People who want a widget for checking off without opening the app.
- People who want history without a medical report.
Look for a more clinical app if...
- You mix supplements with several medications.
- You need to check interactions, allergies, or health conditions.
- You want detailed stock and refill control.
- You need to bring a report to an appointment.
Zero friction
A simple supplement does not need to become a medical record.
For routine items, many people only need to type the name, choose frequency, and check off when done. Tick does not force you to fill milligrams, capsule format, or remaining stock to track creatine or a vitamin.
If the supplement is tied to medication, a health condition, or clinical guidance, use a more complete app or confirm with a professional. If the context is GLP-1, Pepti is the family app built for dose, weight, effects, photos, stock, and appointments.
In Tick
Create an item. Check it off as done.
Tick does not separate meds, supplements, or self-care with bureaucracy. You choose category, frequency, and time; the app shows what is due today.
