Option to set a reminder for specific days. #5

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have multiple medications that I have to take on different days/times during the week. For example, I have to take one of my medications in the morning on one day and in the evening on another.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. An option to set a day (as well as time) for a medication reminder.
  2. An option to have multiple days and times under one medication reminder.

I'm currently working on functionality that is similar to this.

In your case, are your doses on specific days of the week or do they repeat after a set number of days?

In my case it's both. I have to take one medication at a specific time and day (eg. Monday evening, Friday morning). Another I have to take every second day.

Alright, it's hard to do both in a clean way, but my current plan will allow for both. Basically, a medication will have multiple schedules. Each schedule has a time of day, a start date, and a set repeat period of at least a day. So in your case, for specific weekdays, you pick a start day on that day of week and you set the repeat for a week. For every other day, you set a repeat of 2 days and 0 weeks. It's a bit messy, but the problem is harder than you might think on the surface.
