Twistwise designed and produces container lids for dosage-based consumable goods (e.g., pills, vitamins, etc.) with a dosage indicator that allows a user to rotate a simple dial to indicate a "last taken" or "take next" time. The Twistwise cap indicator/reminder is easy to use, reduces erroneous movement, and effectively provides for increased dosage adherence, allowing a user to confidently determine whether they have already taken a dose or when their next dose is due, simply by looking at their Twistwise cap and its most recent dial turn during their last dose. The Twistwise cap requires minimal training, avoids inadvertent moving of dials, switches, levers, buttons, etc., and requires no batteries or expensive parts to manufacture. Plans are for distribution with a corresponding container, or for purchase separately by consumers in a configuration that matches their particular containers. Furthermore, the modular design allows an even greater number of customizable configurations for sizes, closure mechanisms, dosage timing, and so on.
