mojApteczka for Families — Keep Your Shared Home Medicine Cabinet Under Control

Managing medicines for the family does not have to be chaotic. See how a family medicine cabinet in one app is changing everyday life in thousands of Polish homes.

Why do families need an organised medicine cabinet?

An average Polish home contains anything from a dozen to several dozen packs of medicines and dietary supplements. Some sit in the bathroom cabinet, some in a kitchen drawer, and others end up in a handbag or backpack. When someone in the household gets ill, the frantic search begins — and quite often it turns out that the medicine you need has expired or has run out long ago.

A family medicine cabinet needs careful organisation. In a home with adults, children and sometimes grandparents too, the list of medicines is long and varied. Each household member has different health needs, different prescription-only medicines and different over-the-counter products. Without a system that keeps all of this in one place, it is easy to make a mistake or miss something important.

Managing medicines in a family is not only about convenience — above all, it is about safety. An expired medicine may be ineffective or even harmful. Giving a child a product whose expiry date passed several months ago is a risk no parent wants to take.

For families with children, it is especially important to answer the question "is this medicine suitable for a child?" quickly. See the paediatrics in the medicine cabinet category page — the only automatic paediatric classification filter in Poland based on a child's age and weight.

Key mojApteczka features for families

A shared medicine cabinet for the whole home

With mojApteczka, every family member has access to one shared list of medicines. Mum can see which medicines Dad bought. Dad knows what Grandma brought from the pharmacy for the grandchildren. No more duplicate purchases or wondering whether a particular medicine is still at home.

The shared medicine cabinet works in real time — every change is immediately visible to everyone who has access.

Expiry date notifications for every household member

The app monitors medicine expiry dates and sends notifications to all family members. You do not have to be the only person at home who remembers to check the medicine cabinet. Alerts go to everyone with access, so the chance of missing an expired medicine falls almost to zero.

AI-powered package scanning

Adding a medicine to your home medicine cabinet takes just a few seconds. Simply take a photo of the packaging with your phone camera, and AI will recognise the medicine, fill in its name, dose, active ingredient and other key information. The data is checked against the official Register of Medicinal Products, which ensures it is accurate.

Family member roles

In mojApteczka, you can invite household members and assign the right permissions. The main caregiver for the medicine cabinet has full control, while other family members can view its contents and receive notifications. It is a flexible setup that adapts to each family's structure.

How does it work? Step by step

1. Download the app from Google Play or go to mojapteczka.pl and create an account.
2. Scan your medicines — take photos of the medicine packages you have at home. AI will recognise each product and fill in the details automatically.
3. Invite your family — add your spouse, partner or another household member to the shared medicine cabinet. Everyone receives access to the current list of medicines.
4. Receive notifications — the app will remind you when a medicine's expiry date is approaching, so you can replace it with a fresh one or dispose of it safely.
5. Review and manage — check at any time which medicines you have at home, which ones are nearing their expiry date and what may be missing.

What does this look like in practice?

Imagine a Saturday evening. Your child wakes up with a fever. You reach for ibuprofen from the bathroom cabinet — but before giving the medicine, you check the date on the package. It expired three months ago. The pharmacies are already closed. You start anxiously searching the kitchen drawers, the bedside cabinet, your wife's handbag...

Sound familiar? This is what everyday life looked like for many families before they started using mojApteczka.

"We used to have medicines scattered all over the house. Paracetamol in three different places, and the one syrup we really needed was nowhere to be found. Since we started using mojApteczka, we have a full picture of what is in our home medicine cabinet. My husband adds medicines he buys on his way home from work, and I can see them straight away on my phone." — Katarzyna, mother of two from Wroclaw

"What I value most are the expiry date notifications. I used to do a big medicine cabinet review every six months and always found several expired packs. Now I get an alert in advance and simply replace the medicine with a new one. No product goes to waste." — Agnieszka, Krakow

Benefits of digital family medicine cabinet management

Safety for the whole family

Managing family medicines with an app removes the risk of giving someone an expired product. Every medicine in your cabinet is monitored, and you and your loved ones receive alerts in good time.

Saving money

How many times have you bought a medicine that was already at home? A shared medicine cabinet helps you avoid unnecessary purchases. You can see in real time which medicines you have, how much is left and when they expire. No more throwing away forgotten packs.

Order without effort

A digital home medicine cabinet means no more sticky notes, fridge lists or trying to remember what is stored where. All the information is in one place — on your phone, available to every family member.

Reliable medicine data

mojApteczka uses data from the Register of Medicinal Products, so information about each medicine — name, dose, active ingredient and availability category — is always up to date and reliable.

"I did not expect something as simple as scanning a package to make life so much easier. Five people live in our home, including two small children and my mother-in-law, who takes medicines for high blood pressure. Before, nobody knew exactly what we had in the medicine cabinet. Now we all know." — Marcin, father of three from Poznan

Frequently asked questions

Does every family member need a separate account?

Yes — each household member creates their own mojApteczka account and then joins the shared family medicine cabinet by invitation. This means everyone receives notifications on their own phone and has constant access to the current list of medicines.

How many medicines can I add to a shared medicine cabinet?

There is no limit on the number of medicines. You can add all the products you have at home — prescription-only medicines, over-the-counter medicines, dietary supplements and medical devices.

Is the app free?

mojApteczka offers a free plan that lets you use the basic features, including medicine scanning and expiry date tracking. Advanced features, such as sharing a medicine cabinet with family, are available in the premium plan.

Is my data safe?

User data security is our priority. Data is encrypted and stored in line with GDPR. We do not share information about your medicines with third parties — only the people you invite can access the shared medicine cabinet.
