 A local-first Android medication reminder. *«Med det samme»* — "right away" — is
 the design brief in three words: it nags you to take the dose **now**.
 
+The name tips its hat to Arve Opsahl's 1962 classic
+[*«Medisin, medisin med det samme!»*](https://sonichits.com/video/Arve_Opsahl/Medisin%2C_Medisin_Med_Det_Samme!)
+— a man demanding his medicine *right away*, which is exactly what this app
+does on his behalf.

 Built as a personal replacement for MyTherapy: no ads, no account, no
 analytics, no cloud service. Single user, single device. Reminders are the
 entire point, so reliability beats polish wherever the two trade off.
