This is a CLI app written in Golang, that can be used to set medications reminders. I hope you never use it, but if you are sick and you are taking meds, this might help you remember when to take your meds. At least it helped me.
Currently this works only on OSX, since it heavily relies on launchd for
management of the daemon. When I get the OSX support clean and shiny I will take
a look at GNU/Linux and Windows.
go get github.com/fteem/pbox
That should do it.
Pillbox is a package that allows you to set reminders for your medications. It doesn't allow setting exact consumption times per medication, but it splits all medication in three consumption times: morning (10:00h), afternoon (16:00h) and evening (20:00h).
The notifications are in fact OSX notifications, shown using notify. They look like this:
To install the pillboxd daemon, you need to run:
pillbox install
This will create a new launchd agent for your user, which will manage the state
of the daemon. The Property List (.plist) file will be located at ~/Library/LaunchAgent/com.ieftimov.pillbox.plist.
There's no need to load the agent since the command will take care of that. Post-install you should receive a notification that the daemon is started.
To check if the agent is running, run:
pillbox status
To completely remove the daemon you can run:
pillbox uninstall
That's it, no more reminders!
To list all reminders, use:
pillbox reminders list
This will print out a table containing all of the active reminders:
+-------------+---------+-----------+---------+
| Name | Morning | Afternoon | Evening |
+-------------+---------+-----------+---------+
| Probiotics | Yes | No | No |
| Antibiotics | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Brufen | No | No | Yes |
+-------------+---------+-----------+---------+
To add a new reminder, use:
pillbox reminders add Antibiotics [--morning] [--afternoon] [--evening]
This will set a reminder for Antibiotics, but it will require any of the three
flags to be set. If any of the flags are not present, it will fail with:
pillbox: error: Any (or all) of the --morning, --afternoon or --evening flags have to be present.
To remove a reminder, use:
pillbox reminders remove Antibiotics
