TYFM Help
Read The F**king Manual.
Everything you need to get your medication, reminders and stock tracking working properly.
The short version
If you just want TYFM to start doing its job, you only need to do three things.
- 1
Add your medication
Tell TYFM what you're taking. Stock levels and dosage are optional.
- 2
Create a reminder
Pick the days and time, then attach the medication you take with that reminder.
- 3
Take your f**king meds
TYFM will message you in Discord. Once you've taken them, hit the button on the reminder to let us know.
Medication
Medication is managed from your TYFM dashboard . You can add, edit or remove medication whenever you need to.
Do I need to enter a dosage?
Nope. Dosage is optional. Add it if it's useful to see alongside your reminders.
Do I need to track how much I have left?
Also nope. If you enter a remaining quantity, TYFM can reduce it when you confirm you've taken your medication and help you keep track of when you're running low.
What's the start date for?
It tells TYFM when you started the medication. If it's in the future, we won't deduct it from your stock count until you start. Leave it blank if you don't need it.
Reminders
A reminder tells TYFM when to message you and which medication you're supposed to take.
Days
Select every day this reminder should run. If you take something every day, select all seven.
Time and timezone
Choose when you normally take the medication. TYFM uses the selected timezone so your reminder arrives at the right local time.
Medication and amount
Select the medication associated with the reminder and enter how much you take each time.
What happens if I ignore a reminder?
TYFM's entire reason for existing is that a notification you swipe away and immediately forget about isn't much f**king use.
If you haven't confirmed your medication, TYFM will chase you again in Discord. Free gets one follow-up, an hour after your reminder. Premium gets up to 4, by default 30, 60, 75 and 90 minutes after your reminder. See Free vs Premium .
On Premium you can turn each follow-up on or off and change how long it waits, separately for every reminder. Open the reminder in your dashboard and edit its follow-ups there. A delay can be anything from 1 minute up to 24 hours (1440 minutes).
Refills & stock levels
If you're tracking stock, TYFM reduces the remaining quantity when you confirm that you've taken medication.
/stock Check how much you have left of one medication, or leave it blank to see everything at once.
/refill Picked up a new supply? Use this to tell TYFM how much medication you have now.
/adjust-stock Counted the packet and discovered reality disagrees with the database? Use this to correct it. Don't want to track stock for a medication? Leave the quantity blank and set stop_tracking to True, and TYFM will stop asking.
You can also update your stock directly from the dashboard if you'd rather not use a Discord command. When adding a medication, tick "I don't want to track stock for this medication" to stop TYFM mentioning it after your doses.
Discord
TYFM creates a private Discord channel for you. That's where your medication reminders, follow-ups and other TYFM messages live.
/dashboard Get a link straight to your TYFM dashboard.
/upgrade Get a link to upgrade to Premium.
Why do I need to press the button?
The button tells TYFM that you've actually taken the medication. That lets us stop chasing you and, where applicable, update your remaining stock. It's also what counts towards your streaks and achievements.
Something's f**ked.
My reminder arrived at the wrong time
Check the timezone on the reminder in your dashboard. Edit it if TYFM has the wrong one.
My remaining stock is wrong
Use /adjust-stock in Discord or edit the medication from your dashboard.
I keep being told stock isn't tracked
Add a quantity with /adjust-stock to start tracking it, or run the same command with stop_tracking set to True (or tick the box on the medication in your dashboard) and TYFM won't mention it again. Otherwise the message appears at most once a week.
I'm not receiving reminders
Check that the reminder is configured for the correct days, time and timezone. If everything looks right and TYFM still isn't showing up, get in touch.
Still f**ked?
If the manual hasn't answered it, send us a message at support@tyfm.io and tell us what's gone wrong.
