GLP-1 Tracker Apps: What to Look For

What a GLP-1 tracker should log

Start with what you want to see. For most people on a GLP-1, that's:

• Dose day and time. Weekly injections are easy to lose track of. The Wegovy label has specific instructions for missed doses, so knowing exactly when you last took it matters. Ask your prescriber what to do if you miss one.
• Injection site. The Wegovy label says to rotate your injection site with each injection. A tracker that remembers your last site makes that simple.
• Side effects. Nausea, constipation, heartburn and fatigue are common early on. Logging them alongside your dose and meals helps you spot patterns.
• Protein and water. Eating less makes both easy to miss.
• Weight and measurements. Trends over weeks matter more than daily numbers.
• A shareable report. A clean summary makes appointments with your prescriber faster.

Nice extras include reminders, syncing with a phone's health app and smartwatch, and barcode scanning for food.

Features at a glance

This table lists features each company describes on its own website as of November 3, 2026. It isn't a ranking, and features can change, so check each app before you sign up.

"Not described" means we didn't find it on the company pages we opened. It doesn't mean the feature doesn't exist.

Dedicated GLP-1 trackers

Shotsy is built specifically for people on GLP-1 medicines. Its site says it helps you log weekly doses, injection sites, side effects, nutrition and water in one place. Features it lists include:

• Customizable reminders for your weekly injection
• Injection-site rotation with a visual map that suggests your next site
• Side-effect logs you can link to specific doses, sites, meals or hydration
• Weight charts by week, month or since you started
• A PDF export of doses, side effects and weight to share with your doctor
• Support for injectable and pill GLP-1s, with pill tracking noted on iOS

Shotsy says it's free to download and that core features are free, with optional premium tools. It also says it doesn't provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

A tracker shows you the numbers. Knowing what to do with them is the harder part. Olive is a health companion that checks in with you every day, looks at what you eat, and helps you build small habits that actually hold. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything, so dosing questions stay with your prescriber.

Food trackers that work alongside a GLP-1

If your main goal is getting enough protein on a smaller appetite, a food tracker may matter more than a shot log.

MyFitnessPal. Its Premium page lists barcode scanning, voice logging of whole meals, custom macro tracking and an ad-free experience. MyFitnessPal's GLP-1 page blocked our request, so we haven't described those features here.

Lose It! Its membership help page says the free Basic tier includes a daily calorie budget and its food database. Premium adds custom goals like water, sleep and nutrient targets, syncing with smartwatches and fitness trackers, barcode scanning, and photo and voice logging.

For a closer look at these two, see our Noom vs Lose It! comparison. If you'd rather not pay at all, see our guide to free weight-loss apps with no subscription.

Programs that combine tracking with GLP-1 care

Some apps are part of a larger program that can include medicine if you qualify.

Noom. Its homepage promotes a GLP-1 program alongside its psychology-based approach. For what Noom's lower-dose option involves, see our guide to Noom's microdose GLP-1.

WeightWatchers. Its plans page describes Med+, which offers access to GLP-1 prescriptions if you qualify, plus a GLP-1 Success Program. It notes that medicine costs aren't included in the membership. Members track Points in the app.

If steady habits haven't moved stubborn weight, Olive's Protocol is one option to look into; prescriptions are only written after a medical consultation with a licensed provider.

Prices for these programs change often and include limited-time offers, so check each company's own pricing page before you sign up. Our apps like Noom comparison covers more options.

iPhone vs Android

Your phone already has tools that can help.

iPhone. Apple's Health app has a Medications feature. You can add a medication, set a schedule (including options like every few days), get reminders and log each dose as taken or skipped. Apple says you can export a PDF of your current medications to share. It also notes the feature isn't a substitute for professional medical judgment.

Android. Google's Health Connect manages your health and fitness app connections and data in one place. It doesn't track doses itself, but it lets connected apps share data. Google says your data is stored on your device and you control which apps can access it.

If you use an Android phone, check that any dedicated tracker is available on Google Play and see which features it lists for Android, since some features may launch on iOS first.

How to choose

Ask yourself:

1. What do I forget most? If it's dose day or injection site, a dedicated tracker or Apple Health reminders may be enough.
2. Is protein the struggle? A food tracker with barcode scanning may help more.
3. Do I want coaching or medicine through the same program? Then compare programs, not just apps.
4. Will I share it with my prescriber? Look for a clean export.
5. Who sees my data? Read the privacy policy before entering health information.

Whatever you pick, tracking only helps if you keep doing it. Start with two or three things, not ten.

This guide is general information, not medical advice. Talk with your prescriber about doses, missed doses and side effects. No app replaces medical care.

From tracking to steady habits

Logging is a start. Turning those logs into habits that hold is where most people get stuck. Olive is a health companion that checks in with you every day and notices what's keeping your body stuck.
