app comparison MyTherapy medication management home medicine cabinet medication reminders

MyTherapy by smartpatient GmbH and mojApteczka are two apps that appear in every conversation about managing medicines at home. Both offer medication reminders. Both are available on Android and iOS. But how they approach the problem of medicine management differs enough that understanding those differences matters before you choose.

MyTherapy focuses on adherence — making sure you take your medicines on time and tracking your history of compliance. mojApteczka does the same for reminders — with iOS home screen widgets and Siri Shortcuts — but goes further by managing your entire physical medicine cabinet: AI scanning, expiry tracking, interaction checking, pediatric safety, and family sharing.

What Is MyTherapy?

MyTherapy is a German app by smartpatient GmbH, on the market since 2013. Its core purpose is medication adherence — reminding you to take your medicines and tracking whether you follow your prescribed schedule.

Key features:

  • Advanced medication reminders with dose confirmation
  • Health diary — blood pressure, blood sugar, weight tracking
  • Adherence reports for doctor visits
  • Medication intake history over time
  • Available in many languages, partially in Polish
  • Free with ads, premium without ads

MyTherapy is a solid tool for individuals who take daily prescriptions and need a system that tracks compliance.

mojApteczka covers most of what MyTherapy offers in terms of reminders and adds comprehensive cabinet management, AI scanning, interaction checking, pediatric safety, iOS widgets, and fractional dose tracking. MyTherapy’s unique advantages are its health diary (blood pressure, sugar, weight) and detailed adherence history.

Who Is MyTherapy For?

MyTherapy is a good choice if you:

  • Take daily prescriptions and need detailed adherence history
  • Want to track health vitals (blood pressure, blood sugar, weight) alongside medicines
  • Need adherence compliance reports for your doctor
  • Do not need to manage a physical home medicine cabinet

Who Is mojApteczka For?

mojApteczka is a better choice if you:

  • Want to know what is in your medicine cabinet without relying on memory
  • Have children and need pediatric safety classification
  • Share a medicine cabinet with family and need everyone to see the same inventory
  • Want expiry alerts before medicines go bad
  • Need reminders with iOS home screen widgets and Siri Shortcuts
  • Give liquid medicines (syrups, drops) and need fractional dose tracking
  • Care for elderly parents — the ward and caregiver system manages medicines across multiple boxes
  • Need a tabular PDF report with schedule and active substances for doctor visits
  • Want to check drug interactions online without creating an account

Do You Need Both?

In most cases, mojApteczka is sufficient as a single tool — it manages your cabinet, reminds you about medicines (with iOS widgets and Siri), checks interactions, and generates doctor reports. If you specifically need a health diary with vitals tracking (blood pressure, blood sugar, weight), MyTherapy is a useful complement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MyTherapy manage a home medicine cabinet?

No. MyTherapy is designed for medication adherence — reminding you to take medicines and tracking compliance. It does not inventory your cabinet, track expiry dates, or classify medicines for pediatric safety. For managing what you have at home, mojApteczka is the better fit.

Can mojApteczka replace MyTherapy?

Largely yes. mojApteczka has a full reminder system with iOS WidgetKit widgets, Siri Shortcuts, fractional dose tracking for liquids, and tabular PDF reports for doctor visits. The only features mojApteczka does not offer are a health diary with vitals (blood pressure, sugar, weight) and detailed adherence history.

Which app is better for families with children?

mojApteczka. It offers pediatric safety classification, shared family cabinets, caregiver roles, and fractional dose tracking for children’s syrups and drops. MyTherapy is designed for individual users and has no pediatric features.

Is MyTherapy available in Polish?

MyTherapy is partially translated into Polish, but its drug database is not integrated with the Polish Medicinal Products Registry. mojApteczka is fully Polish — the interface, database of 78,000+ medicines, leaflets, and substitutes are all based on official Polish pharmaceutical data.
