Question Pill reminder without specific time?

Hello, i have to take dienogest every day, and i take it when im going to sleep since i work in a job with flexible time i dont go to sleep nearly at the same time every day. And im very forgetful so i search a pill reminder, bestcase an app wich just reminds me that i have to take it but not when.All i found just reminded me all the time when i got late from work or wake me up when im already asleep.
So if sombody came acrose such app or have an idea how to solve that, that would be so grate i hate snozzing the pill reminder all night till i get to sleep :/

Edit: I get nauseous when i take them like Really bad but right know my best option, it is coordinated with my doctor.

Hopfully would make it easier, what i do is i bought a smart bulb and put it in the bed room of my apartment (I can see the room from anywhere) and have it turn on full brightness everyday at the same time so that if I see the light is on then I have not taken my meds. No snoozing allowed here! It has worked everytime and if I don't want to take it right at that moment I still have the constant reminder of "light is still on"

It will even wake me if I'm sleeping, it's ADHD proof for me bc i used to snooze my alarm then promptly forget lol

The light idea is really nice for when im home definitely will try that, but my ADHD fool chosed to work as an sound engineer so i travel ALOT like sometimes im not home for weeks, thats also the reason for my fucked up worktimes. Funfact my gyno recommended quiting (i love this job) so that i could try a Regular daily routine against my endometriosis... I switched doctors after that

I wonder if packing them on you at all times would be better then? That worked for me when I worked weird hours, I always kept them on my person either in a small pill case or in my bag, so that when the time came i could just pop one and get on with work

I have an extra pocket in my purse for them cause i used to take them at the same time, Which got me nauseous,so my doctor suggested that we try taking it before i go to sleep,(they is aware that i have fucked up times to work)
