Getting started
How to set up PlanRemind, and answers to common questions
A quick start guide plus straight answers, all based on the app's own listing.
The setup steps and answers below follow the app's own onboarding and listing, checked on 2026-09-22. It's listed as free; the health features are reminders and notes, not medical advice.
Step 1 — Install
Install PlanRemind from the App Store; it needs an iPhone on iOS 17.0 or newer. It’s listed as free.
Step 2 — Pick the modules that fit
Log in and pick the modules that match your life — meals, car, plants, health, pets, sports. You don’t have to use them all.
Step 3 — Plan meals into a shopping list
For meals, design your menu and build a weekly plan, then generate a shopping list from the products you add.
Step 4 — Set car and plant reminders
For the car, log past maintenance and set service reminders. For plants, set watering frequencies and track them.
Step 5 — Health, pets, and sports
In the Health module, add medication times and appointment notes to be reminded (this is reminders and notes, not medical advice). Set pet vaccination reminders and log workouts in the Sports module as needed.

Frequently asked questions
What does PlanRemind do?
Centralizes recurring household reminders and records across several modules — meals, car maintenance, plants, health reminders, pets, and sports.
Do I have to use every module?
No — use only the ones that fit; it's meant to replace juggling several single-purpose apps.
Are the Health features medical advice?
No. They're reminders and notes you keep yourself; the app doesn't diagnose, treat, or replace a doctor.
Does the meal planner make a shopping list?
Yes — it generates a list from the products you add to your plan.
How much does it cost?
The App Store lists PlanRemind as free; the listing doesn't detail a paid tier, so check current terms in the app.
What platforms does it support?
iPhone, iOS 17.0 or newer. No Android or web version is listed.
Is there a website?
The developer's public link is a social profile; there's no separate website listed.
