Pill guide

Daily pill tracking

PillBird helps you build a consistent habit by showing today's dose, your current pack day, and recent history in one place. The aim is to make the next right action obvious at a glance.

• Combination pill support with active and placebo days
• Mini-pill (progestogen-only) reminder windows that are tighter by design
• Pack strips that show where you are at a glance
• A running history of taken, snoozed, skipped, and missed doses

Combination vs. mini-pill

Combination pills usually have a more forgiving window and a placebo or break week, while progestogen-only pills often need to be taken within a stricter daily window. PillBird adjusts reminders to reflect the kind of pill you've set up.

Always follow the specific timing on your prescription — these are general patterns, and your pill's leaflet is the authority on its own window.

Placebo and break days

For packs with placebo or break days, PillBird keeps reminding you to stay in the habit while making it clear those days are different. Keeping the routine going through the break is part of staying consistent for the next pack.

Important note

PillBird is a tracking and reminder app. It is not contraception, a medical device, or a replacement for advice from your clinician. The pill itself — taken as prescribed — is what provides protection.
