DoseBuddy: an offline app that turns a prescription note into a daily medicine schedule

·1 views

A developer built DoseBuddy, a free, offline, and private app to help people manage multiple daily prescriptions for conditions like blood pressure, thyroid, and calcium deficiency. Users paste their doctor's instructions once, and the app sorts medicines into large-print morning, afternoon, and night compartments. A hand-written, non-AI safety checker flags risky combinations, such as thyroid medicine taken near calcium or iron, along with duplicates and missing times. The tool also offers spoken reminders in English, Hindi, and Malayalam, a tap-to-tick daily tracker, and a printable fridge sheet or WhatsApp summary for family. The developer stresses that the app is not medical advice and that its interaction list is limited, so users should confirm with a pharmacist.

MatchGrind Launches Football Data API With Scores, Standings and Injury Tracking

MatchGrind offers a football data API that provides live scores, fixtures, standings, club information and match analytics across 60 competitions, including the Premier League, LaLiga, MLS, Brasileirão and Tanzania's NBC Premier League. The service derives injury and suspension information from match events rather than manual entry, and card totals per player show how many bookings remain before a ban. Access is available through the Global-Football-API listing on the RapidAPI marketplace, with a free BASIC plan that requires no payment card. Users obtain an API key after subscribing and can retrieve the list of available competitions with a first call, with no additional setup needed. The overview is based on public information from the project's website, and pricing and terms should be verified there before adoption.

SlothBudget Pro: Open-Source Offline Agent Automates Receipt Tracking and Spending Classification

A developer has released SlothBudget Pro, an autonomous financial agent designed to process receipts and transaction logs without manual data entry. Users drop raw text files into a local folder or upload them through a cloud dashboard, and the agent extracts transaction details, classifies spending, and archives the records. Text extraction runs on Google's open-weight Gemma 3 1B model via Ollama, while TabPFN-3.5 handles categorization and anomaly detection. The project's developer says running the models locally keeps user data private, avoids operating costs, and removes the need for an internet connection. The interactive dashboard is hosted on Render, and Sentry is used to monitor agent latency and errors.

Developer Moves Repository Tests from H2 to Real PostgreSQL Using Flyway

A developer building a library app discovered that their repository tests passed only against H2, an in-memory database that does not match the PostgreSQL engine used in production. The Phase 3 work moved persistence to PostgreSQL 17, with Flyway managing the schema through a baseline migration that mirrors the JPA entities and uses named constraints. Hibernate was set to validate rather than generate the schema, and database settings were moved to environment variables with setup documented in the README. Only the book copy repository test class was switched to the real database, while 45 other tests stayed on H2, and PostgreSQL runs natively since Docker was unavailable.
