Did I give Calpol two hours ago, or four?
It's a question every parent has asked at some point, usually at the worst time. Dosey is a small, quiet app that remembers what you've given and when, so you don't have to.
It's a question every parent has asked at some point, usually at the worst time. Dosey is a small, quiet app that remembers what you've given and when, so you don't have to.
We started Dosey because we couldn't remember if we'd given Calpol at half six in the morning or half six the night before. We tried sticky notes on the kitchen worktop, a shared note in our messages, a calendar reminder. None of it survived a 3am wake-up with a feverish toddler.
So we built a small app that does one thing well: it keeps a running record of the doses you've actually given, and tells you when the next one is available to give. It's quiet, it doesn't chase you with notifications, and it never pretends to be a doctor. We wanted something we could trust at the worst moment of the night, when our brains weren't doing their best work.
The Dosey team
No dashboards, no charts no one understands, no daily wellness streaks. Just the things you'd want a calm second brain to handle.
Open the app, tap the medicine, tap the amount. The next dose time appears on the home screen so you don't have to do mental maths in the kitchen.
Whoever's holding the baby logs the dose; whoever's making the tea sees it on their phone. No more "did you already give her some?" half-asleep texts.
A push when the next dose is available. Both phones get the nudge, so whoever's nearer the kid takes it from there. Toggle them off any time.
Every dose, temperature, and note in one tappable timeline, grouped into illness episodes so you can scroll back to "that week with the chest infection" without scrolling forever.
Temperatures plotted over the last 14 days, with reference lines for elevated and high. A 7-day summary shows the peak, doses given, and days active.
Tap the share icon on the activity screen and the last fortnight (doses, temperatures, notes) becomes a clean PDF you can hand to the GP, 111, or save for later.
Three more glances at the bits you'll use day to day.
If a dose is too early, the app says so plainly and shows the exact next-dose time.
Doses, fevers, notes — grouped by episode, charted over fourteen days, exportable as a PDF for the GP.
Reminders are off-by-default for fever follow-ups and on for the next dose. Toggle anything, any time.
Honesty matters when it comes to your child's medicine. We've drawn the line clearly so you know exactly what kind of tool this is.
Free for one child with the default medicines. £6.99 unlocks the rest, paid once. No subscriptions, no upsells, no surprise emails next month.

No. We'll tell you what the spacing is (when the last dose was, when the next one becomes available), but whether to actually give it is up to you, just like it always was. The dosing instructions on the bottle are still the source of truth.
Never. If you try to give a dose earlier than the recommended interval, you'll see a friendly warning explaining the timing. But you can always confirm and continue. You know things we don't (a paediatrician told you to, a thermometer is climbing, the dose came back up).
One of you sends an email or shares a six-character code. The other downloads Dosey, taps "I have a code" during sign-up, and joins the same household. Anything either of you logs shows up on the other's home screen the next time they open the app. Push notifications fire on both phones when the next dose is due.
It lives on servers in the UK and EU. We don't sell it, share it with advertisers, or use it for anything other than running the app. There's a Delete account button in settings; tap it and your household's records go straight away. The full privacy policy is here.
Yes, with a Premium plan. Calpol and Ibuprofen come pre-loaded for everyone; Premium lets you add Piriton, Nurofen, antibiotics, anything you've been prescribed. You decide the dose intervals.
