Swallow Prompt: Saliva Help

An interval reminder that uses sound or vibration to prompt swallowing within a clinician-agreed saliva-management routine.

Our take

Consider only after discussing suitability with the treating professional

Screen-off prompts and a Watch wrist tap can make an agreed cue discreet during everyday activity.

Keep in mind: The developer explicitly calls it a reminder rather than treatment. It does not assess swallowing safety and does not prompt during phone calls.

What you can do

  • Choose a prompt interval
  • Select sound or vibration
  • Use supported screen-off or Watch prompts
  • Control the reminder through a lock-screen widget

Good for

  • People or caregivers implementing a routine already selected with a speech-language pathologist or clinician.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users seeking a swallowing diagnosis, a treatment replacement or guaranteed continuous alerts in every phone state.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.0.
  • The developer explicitly calls it a reminder rather than treatment. It does not assess swallowing safety and does not prompt during phone calls.

Privacy & permissions

The developer says it never uses the microphone or hears speech. A health-related reminder is still visible or audible to people nearby.
