Medisafe (by MediSafe Inc.) is a widely used medication reminder app, with 5 million+ installs on Google Play: a daily pillbox, refill reminders, a drug interaction checker, and alerts to a family member when a dose is missed. Dose Track is built for injectable medications such as GLP-1s, testosterone and peptides, where injection sites, vials and levels matter.
So the question is mostly what you take. A shelf of daily pills and a weekly injection with a vial to keep track of need different tools.
Transparency note: Dose Track publishes this comparison. Everything about Medisafe below comes from its own App Store listing, Google Play listing and website, checked October 31, 2026 and linked under Sources. Apps change quickly, so check its current listing before deciding.
Dose Track is the better pick for most people, and built for injections: reminders with snooze and follow-ups, site rotation, vial and pen supply, estimated levels, research pages for 428 compounds and lab results next to your doses. Medisafe is worth a look for the extras listed further down.

Medisafe is built for the daily pillbox, and it does that at scale: about 101,500 App Store ratings averaging 4.7 and 5 million+ installs on Google Play (October 31, 2026). You add a medicine, answer how often, and the rest sits under more options.
It has things Dose Track does not: Medfriend alerts a family member when you miss a dose, family profiles, a doctor appointment calendar, PDF reports, 20+ health measurements, and an Apple Watch and Wear OS app. It can import medicines from Apple Health Records at many US health systems and has a drug interaction checker in the US.
Dose Track is built for injections. Each shot records the injection site so you can rotate them, and each dose shows on an estimated level chart based on that medication's half-life, which matters for weekly GLP-1s and testosterone esters.
Vials and pens count down as you log, with a warning before you run out. If you mix anything from powder, the reconstitution calculator works out the water and the units to draw. Blends are logged compound by compound.
Bloodwork goes in as a lab PDF, and markers such as hematocrit or A1c sit next to what you were taking. The library covers 800+ medications and supplements. Dose Track records what you enter and does not recommend doses.
Research is built in. Of the 800+ medications and supplements, 428 have a research page: how the compound works, its safety, FDA status and references, and for most, the doses studied in research. Guides, an interaction checker and 650+ free compound pages on dosetrack.app sit alongside. None of it is a dose recommendation.
Both apps send dose reminders, keep a history of what you took, track weight, and run on iPhone and Android. Neither tells you what dose to take.
Medisafe says an account is optional but recommended for backup, and its App Store privacy label lists the data it collects as not linked to you. Dose Track keeps records on your phone unless you turn on the encrypted backup, which only your password opens.
