Questions people ask before they download
Short answers. Where there is a limit, it is stated.
What is Listavita?
Listavita is an app for organizing medications, treatment plans, reminders, and dose history — for yourself and the people you care for.
Do I need an account?
No. Listavita doesn't require an account or sign-in. You can start using it immediately.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Every feature works without an internet connection, because Listavita doesn't depend on a server to function.
Where is my medical information stored?
On your device, encrypted at rest. It is not uploaded to a server, because Listavita doesn't run one.
Is my information encrypted?
Yes, your data is encrypted at rest on your device. See the Privacy page for a plain-language explanation and its realistic limits.
Can I use it for more than one person?
Yes. Listavita supports multiple patients on one device — for example, yourself, your kids, or a parent you're caring for — kept separately from each other.
Does it support long-term or lifelong medications?
Yes. A treatment can be set up as ongoing or lifelong, with no end date, for conditions like long-term blood pressure management.
Does it support short-term treatments?
Yes. A treatment can also have a fixed duration, like a week or two — the app tracks it separately from any long-term treatments you're also managing.
Does Listavita give medical advice?
No. Listavita is an organizational and adherence tool. It does not diagnose conditions, recommend treatments, or recommend dosages — those decisions are always yours and your healthcare provider's.
Does Listavita warn me about allergies, interactions, or taking too much?
No, and this is deliberate rather than unfinished. Listavita shows you what you recorded — the allergies you wrote down, how many doses have been given today, the note you kept about a medicine's limits — at the moment you are deciding. It never compares them or draws a conclusion. A warning that misses a case reads exactly like an all-clear, and a clinician may have told you to do something the label does not say. The facts are the app's job; the judgement is yours and your pharmacist's.
Can I record a medicine that isn't taken on a schedule?
Yes. A rescue inhaler, a painkiller, or anything else taken only when it is needed can be recorded each time it is given, as often as it is given. No reminder is ever scheduled for one, because there is no schedule to remind you of — and how often it was needed is exactly the question these medicines exist to answer, so it appears in the summary you can take to an appointment.
I forgot to record a dose at the time. Can I still enter it?
Yes. You can say when the dose was actually given rather than when you are typing it in, and that is the time kept in the history and shown to anyone reading it. You cannot record a time in the future, because a dose that has not been given has not been given.
Can I take a list of medications to an appointment?
Yes. Listavita can produce a plain summary of what someone is taking right now — names, strengths, schedules, recorded allergies, and anything taken only when needed. It is created on the phone at the moment you ask for it, is not stored afterwards, and goes nowhere unless you choose to share it.
Can I lock the app itself, not just my phone?
Yes, optionally. Listavita can ask for Face ID, a fingerprint, or your device passcode before showing any records, so handing your unlocked phone to someone does not hand over medical information. It uses your phone's own unlock method — the app never creates a password of its own.
Will it work on my iPhone or Android phone?
Listavita is available now on the App Store for iPhone. The Android version is coming soon to Google Play.
Can I move my data to a new phone?
Yes, if you make a backup first. A backup is encrypted on your phone and opened with a recovery key the app generates and you keep. Without a backup, your data stays on the phone it was entered on — there is no copy anywhere else.
Can it scan a prescription for me?
Not yet. Prescription scanning is a planned feature — see the Features page for what's available today versus what's coming later. Every medication is entered by hand for now.
