Every other day reminder software

[MichaelJames9999]

Im looking for an Android app that will remind me to take my medications ***every other day****. The every other day is the part that I am having trouble with.
There are lots of software that you can do Monday, Weds, Friday.. or Tuesday Thursday, Saturday.. but every other day is the trick so I dont miss a day each week.

Any suggestions?

Samsung S21 Ultra
The calender says frequency of reminder is Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly. Does not say every other day or every 2 days as options

Google Tasks can do this. I have it set up to remind me to give my cat's medication every other day at 9 PM.

Set your calendar every other day so calendar starts Monday so set Wednesday then set Friday then Sunday example but another option is reminder app on Samsung and modes and routines in settings, few ways Samsung has

unfortunately. Google tasks doesnt provide an alarm. I need something that pops up with loud alarm

I dont think the above works. I need an alarm for every other day. The method above has Sunday and Monday next to each other and that would be every other day/every 2 days

Did you look into modes and routines?

modes and routines

no, but looks very confusing.

Were you able to get a pop up alarm with this? All I see is a reminder in notifications.

You can always customize the notification. Tap your profile pic at the upper right, then Settings>Notifications, then tap the words "Timed tasks" (not the toggle). Then tap Sound, and choose a different sound that's louder for you. You can also use your own sound under "My Sounds."

I'm not sure if you can make it a fullscreen notification when it shows up. It defaults as a banner notification at the top of the screen -- is that not enough?

"Event Reminder"

But it was too much for me.
Maybe someday I'll have brain power to set it up.

I also have an S21 Ultra and I use Google calendar. There is an option for notifying you on whatever day(s) of the week to be reminded of something if you select the Custom recurrence option from the notification reminder list.

Just quoting Diddy's post in case you missed it.

In Samsung calendar (not Google calendar) you can choose to repeat every 2 days. Select "every _ days" and change the value to "2"
