Recommendations for medication reminder?

Question

Not sure where else to ask this, but please feel free to recommend a better sub if this isn't appropriate here.

I really really struggle to remember to take my medication in the morning (currently my adherence is below 50%). Does anyone have suggestions for something that will continue to remind me to take my med until I confirm that I've taken it? This can be in the form of a physical object with an alarm, an app, a texting service, I'm really open to a lot of options. I only have one morning med so that hopefully makes it simpler.

Some requirements:

  • It needs to continue alarming until I specifically confirm I've taken the med by removing the cap or performing some complex action on my phone (ie it won't go away with a simple button push, because I do that to make it stop then still forget)

  • It needs to stop alarming for the day once I perform that action, to prevent alarm fatigue.

  • It needs to be either an audible alarm or something that pings my phone in some way - a flashing light won't work.

Thank you all so much for any advice you can offer. I really need to be taking this medication every morning but I just cannot seem to remember it.
