Most medicine reminder apps lose people at the very first step: typing in every medicine, its strength, how many times a day, before or after food. For a parent on six medicines that is twenty minutes of fiddly entry — and one wrong field means a wrong reminder. Rx101 starts from the paper instead. Photograph the prescription, and AI reads it for you.
How it works, in three steps
- Tap Scan and photograph the page. A prescription, a medicine strip, or a lab report. Nothing is sent anywhere until you tap Scan.
- AI reads it once. It pulls out medicine names, doses, timings and, for lab reports, the values — then lays them all out on one screen.
- You confirm. Check each line against the paper, fix anything that’s off, and tap save. Your full reminder schedule is ready in seconds.
What it reads
- Prescriptions — medicine names, doses, how often, and timing such as before or after food.
- Medicine strips and packs — with Scan the pack, photograph up to six strips and tap the brand and ingredients on each. That text is read on your phone itself.
- Lab reports — values are saved to your record and trended over time, so you can see whether a number is moving.
Each scan also becomes a visit on your diagnosis timeline: what was prescribed, and when.
Exactly what leaves your phone
You deserve the mechanics, not a slogan.
- Where the text can be read on your device, only that text is sent — the photo stays on your phone.
- When an image does need to be read, it goes to a trusted AI model such as Google Gemini or Anthropic’s Claude for one read, in the moment. Rx101 stores none of it.
- The medicines you confirm are saved in an encrypted database on your phone — not on an Rx101 server, because there isn’t one holding your health data.

Use your own AI — or none of ours
Prefer your own AI account? Add your own Claude, Gemini or OpenAI key. It is kept in the Android Keystore and deliberately left out of your backups. Or skip our servers altogether and hand the prescription to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity or Grok yourself, then bring the result back into Rx101.
Always check what it reads
AI is fast, but it can misread a smudged dose or an unusual brand name. That’s why nothing is saved until you confirm it. Compare each line with the prescription, and if anything is unclear, ask your pharmacist. Rx101 helps you follow your doctor’s plan; it never changes it.
What it costs
You get free scans every month — no card, no subscription. Reminders, records, family profiles and backup are free regardless. If you need more scans, use your own AI key or buy scan credits.
Questions people ask
Can an app read my prescription and set up reminders automatically?
Yes. In Rx101 you photograph the prescription, AI extracts the medicine names, doses and timings, and after you confirm them your reminder schedule is created in seconds.
Is my prescription photo stored?
No. Where text can be read on your phone, only the text is sent. When an image is needed, it goes to a trusted AI model such as Google Gemini or Anthropic’s Claude for one read, and Rx101 stores none of it.
Can it read lab reports?
Yes. Lab values are pulled into your record and trended over time, alongside your medicines and vitals.
Is the AI prescription scanner free?
Rx101 includes free scans every month with no card or subscription. For more, add your own Claude, Gemini or OpenAI key, or buy scan credits.
Can the AI make mistakes?
Yes, AI can misread. Rx101 shows everything it found and saves nothing until you confirm it, so always check each line against the prescription.
