RxCanary
Medication safety companion built on public FDA data.
I built RxCanary to make important FDA medication safety data easier to access in one place.
I built RxCanary around a simple idea: important medication safety information should be easier to check. Public FDA data already exists, but it is spread across different sources and not always convenient to use when you just want a quick answer.
RxCanary brings those sources together into one native app experience. That includes shortages, recalls, labeling details, and adverse event information, all organized in a way that is easier to scan and use.
I also wanted the app to stay lightweight and privacy-friendly. There are no accounts, no tracking, and no subscription. The value of the app comes from making public information more accessible, not from putting extra barriers in front of it.
What it does
- 1
Check medication shortage information in real time using FDA data.
- 2
Review recalls, adverse event reports, and labeling information from one place.
- 3
Track a list of medications in a simple native interface.
- 4
Use the app without creating an account or giving up personal data.
Who it's for
People who want a simple way to check medication safety signals, shortages, recalls, and interactions without extra friction.
How it's built
I built RxCanary as a native SwiftUI iPhone app that pulls together multiple public FDA data sources into a single clean interface designed for quick reference.
Why it matters
There is a lot of useful medication safety information available publicly, but it is often scattered across multiple sources and not especially easy to check in the moment. RxCanary is meant to reduce that friction.
