Frequently Asked Questions

Is MediKok free?

Yes. All features are completely free. The App shows a small banner ad, and there are no subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Do reminders work without internet?

Yes. Reminders are scheduled directly on your device using the operating system's alarm mechanism — not pushed from a server. They fire in airplane mode, without Wi-Fi, and re-register automatically after your device reboots.

A reminder didn't fire. Why?

Most missed reminders come from device settings. Please check:

Notification permission is granted (Settings → Apps → MediKok → Notifications).
Android: "Alarms & reminders" (exact alarm) permission is allowed, and battery optimization is not set to "Restricted" for MediKok. Some manufacturers (e.g., aggressive battery savers) may delay alarms.
Do Not Disturb / Focus modes may silence notifications.
If you force-stopped the App from system settings, alarms will not fire until you open the App again.

Where is my medication data stored? Is there a backup?

All medication data is stored only on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and no account exists. This also means there is no cloud backup — if you delete the App or use "Delete all data" in Settings, the data is permanently gone and cannot be recovered.

How do I change the app language?

MediKok follows your device's system language automatically and supports English, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. To use a different language, change the device (or per-app) language in your system settings.

Can I mark a dose as taken without opening the app?

Yes. The reminder notification includes a "Taken" button that records the dose instantly, and a "Snooze 30 min" button if you need a bit more time.

Can family members see my medication schedule?

Not yet — family sharing is planned for a future update. Currently all data stays private on your device.

Does MediKok give medical advice?

No. MediKok is a reminder and tracking tool only. Always follow the directions of your doctor or pharmacist.
