There's a lot of to-do list apps, reminders, calendars etc out there advertised towards us to help us do things like break down large tasks into meaningful chunks and focus on what we need to do each day, but I want to hear from the community what do you guys think is the best so let's start a thread

I'd add MyTherapy to the mix. It's designed for tracking medication. It can pester you into remembering your meds, as well as keep track of remaining supply.

I combine it with a timer cap on my medication. That way I can see if I've opened (and taken) it, or just thought about it.

I set my wife's phone up with the MyTherapy app. I like (and she hate-likes) that it has its own notification rules separate from the built-in alarms, so her meds notifications are set to make noise every 5 minutes until she actively dismisses it (usually once she's actually gotten around to taking what she needs to take). Doesn't always work, but tends to work. I haven't tried messing with the refill reminders; I should look into that for her.
