Is the mobile app the same as the website?

Yes—the core screens and flows match: same tabs (Today, Care, Family, Medications), same underlying data, and the same subscription benefits when your plan includes them.

Note: Timers and Temperatures are now part of Care sessions during illness. On mobile you can show separate Timers and Temperatures tabs again under Settings → Display & navigation for everyday use outside a care session.

The main intentional differences on mobile:

  • Push notifications — only the mobile app can remind you on the lock screen with local alerts. The website does not schedule those device notifications. Details are in Push notifications (mobile only).
  • Home screen and lock screen widgets, Live Activities (iPhone), ongoing timer notifications (Android), and the experimental Apple Watch companion — mobile-only glanceable surfaces added in 2.5.2. See Widgets and glanceables (mobile only).

On desktop Chrome, the optional Chrome extension is a side panel companion: live as-needed dose countdowns from the same account, without the full app UI. It does not replace web or mobile for logging doses, Care, or routines. See What is the Medication Timer Chrome extension?
