Put PepStepper on your home screen

There is no App Store download. PepStepper installs straight from the browser — it takes about fifteen seconds, and afterwards it behaves like any other app on your phone.

What it looks like on an iPhone

Why bother

  • Dose reminders. iOS only allows notifications for an installed app. In a browser tab it refuses without even asking.
  • It stays signed in. No logging back in every time you want to record a dose.
  • Full screen. No address bar eating the top of a screen you are reading numbers off.

Is this a real app or a shortcut?

It is a progressive web app: a real installed application that happens to be built with the web rather than shipped through a store. It gets its own icon, its own window and its own notifications. It also means updates arrive on their own, and nothing about your log ever passes through Apple or Google.
