What’s new
For testers: what each test version brings, and the problems already known.
Your version is at the bottom of More: “updated” and a date. Find that date below.
November 12, 2026: Done from page 3, and a better label scan
- The logs you can stop early: in the migraine log, the pain flare and each pack's log, the questions that matter are on the first 3 pages, and the button says Done from page 3. What you took is on page 3 now.
- Scan a label: a checklist at the top shows each detail as filled (checked and tinted) or not, and a tap on one lists the lines the phone read, so one tap fills it. Each line in the list shows what it fills. The barcode step waits for the code to hold still.
- Who is this for? when you add a medicine and more than one person is on the phone: pick the person, so you do not switch person and back. It works for typing it in and for a label scan.
- Scanning the barcode now says it reads by itself, and the button below it takes the label picture instead.
- Pillbox tab: Chronic pain, Autoimmune, Neurological and Asthma start their daily check in one tap, with a button for a flare, relapse or seizure on the card.
- Journal → Reports now holds each pack's record for your doctor, the Week box report and the 3-month migraine score, so every report is in one place. The picture's menu no longer repeats More.
November 11, 2026: Alerts go away when tapped
- Tap Take, Skip or Snooze on a reminder and the alert goes away at once, and its sound stops. If the answer could not be saved, you get a note saying so.
- Rescue medicine kits always show on the Neurological home, with a line on how to add one.
November 7, 2026: Easier to find, easier to save
- One name for each thing: Quick migraine log everywhere, Daily check in every pack, and Week box for the pill organizer. The home tab is still Pillbox.
- A simpler More tab: Every day, Your care team, and You & your account. Having a hard day? sits on its own at the bottom. The reports are all on Journal now.
- Save is always at the bottom: on the forms, the main button stays in reach, and rises above the keyboard while you type.
- More options: the fields most people skip are folded away, and open by themselves when they have something in them.
- Send feedback is in More, under Test version.
November 6, 2026: New tools in every pack
- Migraine pack: a record of days missed at work or school, a message to tell them, Try a change, a school migraine page, and early signs in the full log.
- Chronic pain pack: pacing, home exercises, a flare plan and pill counts, under Pain check & flares.
- Coming to Autoimmune and Neurological: a photo log, lab results, joint counts and infusions; MS checks, a driving countdown and rescue kit expiry dates.
- Plans are set, and everything is still free while testing: Core with 1, 2 or all packs, picked in the app, with a month free on plans with a pack. Nothing can be bought yet.
- Back at the top left, everywhere: every screen has its back arrow in the same place, and the phone’s Back does the same. In a log it goes to the step before, and on the first tab Back asks before closing Kairix.
- Poison Help after a very large dose: when a lot at once is logged anyway, Kairix shows Poison Help with a button to call.
November 5, 2026: Fixes from the fourth phone test
- Reminders with Kairix closed: Settings → Reminders names the two phone settings that keep reminders on time, and rings a test with Kairix closed.
- The month calendar on Regular screens too, with the week box, the report and printing a tap away.
- A lot at once? Logging more than 2 tablets in one dose asks first.
- Reports at the top of Journal: Is it working? and the disability record are two taps away, and Is it working? prints.
- The widget follows your packs: a Pain button with Chronic pain on.
- Safety notes on the medicine list, and How-to steps that open the right screen.
- Scan the barcode, then the label: the barcode says which medicine it is, from the FDA’s list; the label gives the directions and refills.
- Today’s doses in three parts: Pending open, Past and Future folded, so there’s less to scroll.
November 3, 2026: The first beta build
- Easy screens: big words and buttons, a large month calendar, and each day hour by hour. Pick Easy or Regular at setup or in Settings, for each person.
- Help goes deeper: each How-to in Help links to a longer online User guide, with pictures.
- Add a dose for a past day, and remove a dose from the Pillbox.
- Add a medicine from the migraine log, when what you took isn’t on your list.
- Air quality on the home screen with the Asthma pack.
- Take a dose right from the alert, without opening Kairix.
Known problems
No need to report these. They’re on the list.
- Interaction checks cover a short list of high-priority pairs only. “No known problem” means none was found on that list.
- Heart-rhythm (QT) interactions aren’t checked yet.
- Allergy checks match names only: “penicillin” won’t catch amoxicillin yet.
- Reading a pharmacy label is a best guess, made for US labels. Check every field before you save.
- Some phones hold reminders back while locked. Settings → Reminders shows the two settings to check, and Test with Kairix closed makes sure.
- Weather starts the day you turn it on, and knows US ZIP codes only.
- Sleep is typed in for now.
- Most of the app is in English. Reminders, the widget, Quick migraine log and the beta terms are in Spanish.
- The Autoimmune and Neurological packs show as Pending updates: they’re still being reviewed.
- Always install the newest test version. An older one won’t open records made by a newer one.
