meds, input wanted! 
What are the reader's needs and requirements for a medication reminder app/program?
Wants and "nice to have"s would also be interesting to hear, though ideally separate from the core requirements!
(Context: Found this on my long-term todo list and am thinking about writing a design doc to implement in my OS/shell at some point.)

@multisn8 Basically:
- Minimum complexity, maximum reliability
- Stock tracking (to know when I need to order new meds)
- Ability to preset periodic 'medication moments' with associated doses
- But also the ability to mark individual doses as 'used up', eg. when I lose a pill and need to grab a new one
- Support for mixed-dose medication (eg. one 500mg pill and one 250mg pill) and partial pills (including smaller than the 'official' partitions)
- Ironically the 'reminder' part is the one I need the least because a phone alarm is enough for me, it's mostly about tracking whether I've taken them and whether I need to order new ones, and so it should also let me choose *not* to set a reminder for a given medication moment (because it is eg. anchored to my wakeup time, not clock time)
All of these would be needs for me, rather than nice-to-haves; to replace my current manual workflow with a piece of software it would need to be able to replace 100% of the workflow, otherwise I just end up with two separate systems (which increases chance of error).
So in summary my ideal system would let me specify the medication stock I have (per medication type *and* unit dose), amounts that are subtracted at specific moments, and optionally a clock-time reminder mechanism. And then a 'restocked' button and 'consume extra unit dose' button.

@multisn8 Some additional context for these requirements: I have a recent kidney transplant and so I have half a pharmacy worth of medication to take twice a day, with specific time interval ranges, and the exact amounts change every week. Think something like 10-15 different pills in the morning
