Sign in

Use the same email and password as your Medication Timer account on web or mobile.

Note: The extension currently supports email and password sign-in. If you only use Google or Apple on mobile, set or use an email/password on the website first, or open timers from the web/mobile app instead.

On first open, read the data-use disclosure and accept it before signing in.

Use the side panel

  • View current as-needed dose countdowns for household members you share with.
  • Check safety status (too soon / better wait / okay to give) and who each timer is for.
  • Tap a row to open that timer in the full Medication Timer app.

To log a new dose, start Care, edit medications, or change routines, use the website or mobile app. The extension is for glanceable countdowns.
