Honest 2026 Review: mojApteczka or MyTherapy?
mojApteczka manages the whole home medicine cabinet, not just reminders: it includes the Polish Register of Medicinal Products and paediatric classification for families. See the comparison.
MyTherapy by smartpatient GmbH and mojApteczka are two apps that come up in conversations about managing medicines at home. Both offer medicine reminders. Both are available on Android and iOS. But they approach medicine management differently enough that it is worth understanding those differences before you choose.
MyTherapy focuses on adherence — helping you take your medicines at the right time and tracking your intake history. mojApteczka does the same for reminders — with iOS home screen widgets and Siri Shortcuts — but also manages the whole physical home medicine cabinet: AI scanning, expiry dates, drug interactions, child safety, and family sharing.
This article will help you decide which tool is a better fit for your situation.

mojApteczka covers most of what MyTherapy offers (reminders and a report for a doctor’s appointment) and adds home medicine cabinet management, AI scanning, drug interactions, child safety, iOS widgets, and dose tracking. MyTherapy only has the edge for its health diary (blood pressure, blood sugar, weight) and advanced adherence history.
Who Is MyTherapy For?
MyTherapy is a good choice if you:
- Regularly take prescription medicines and need a detailed adherence history
- Want to track health vitals (blood pressure, blood sugar, weight) alongside medicines
- Need a report on how regularly you take your medicines for a doctor’s appointment
- 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 want to quickly check medicine safety
- Share a medicine cabinet with family and need everyone to see the same inventory
- Want alerts before medicines expire
- Need reminders with iOS home screen widgets and Siri Shortcuts
- Give a child syrup or drops and need to track fractional doses
- Care for an older parent — the dependant and caregiver role system lets you manage medicines for multiple people across multiple cabinets
- Need a Polish medicine database with leaflets and alternatives
- Need a tabular PDF report with schedule and active ingredients for doctor visits
- Want to check drug interactions online without creating an account
Do You Need Both?
In most cases, mojApteczka is enough as a single tool — it manages your medicine cabinet, reminds you about medicines (with iOS widgets and Siri), checks interactions, and generates a report for a doctor’s appointment. If you also need a health diary with blood pressure, blood sugar, or weight measurements, MyTherapy may be a useful complement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does MyTherapy manage a home medicine cabinet?
No. MyTherapy is for medicine reminders and adherence tracking. It does not offer medicine cabinet inventory, expiry date alerts, or child safety classification. For managing what you have at home, mojApteczka is the better fit.
Can mojApteczka replace MyTherapy?
Largely, yes. mojApteczka has an advanced medicine reminder system with iOS home screen widgets (WidgetKit), Siri Shortcuts, fractional dose tracking (syrups, drops), and PDF report generation with a schedule for a doctor’s appointment. The only things mojApteczka does not offer are a health diary for health measurements (blood pressure, blood sugar, weight) and advanced adherence history — if you need those features, MyTherapy is the better complement.
Which app is better for families with children?
mojApteczka. It offers paediatric medicine classification (whether a medicine is safe for a child of a given age), a shared family medicine cabinet, caregiver roles, and fractional dose tracking for syrups and drops. MyTherapy is designed for individual users and has no paediatric features.
Is MyTherapy available in Polish?
MyTherapy is partially translated into Polish, but its medicine database is not integrated with Poland’s Register of Medicinal Products. mojApteczka is fully Polish — the interface, database of 78,000+ medicines, leaflets, and alternatives are based on official Polish pharmaceutical data.
