Step 1
Add the medicine
Type the name and dose, then pick a shape and colours so it is easy to recognize.
Step 2
Pick times you already keep
Tie each reminder to a routine, such as breakfast or bedtime, rather than a clock time you have to remember.
Step 3
Turn on the follow-up
If a dose is not marked, Oclo asks again a little later, so a missed dose does not stay missed.
Step 4
Allow notifications and alarms
In Android settings, allow notifications and alarms for Oclo, and take it off any battery-saving list.
Step 5
Check the notification volume
Make sure the notification volume is up, not only the ringer, and pick a tone you will notice.
Step 6
Try Taken on the notification
When the first reminder arrives, tap Taken. Open History to see it logged.
