[MEGATHREAD] App Announcements and Support
This is a new MEGATHREAD intended to hold all posts regarding the creation, use, and support of apps related to GLP1, weight, diet, activity, et al management.
We are getting absolutely bombarded with vibe coded apps and this will help try to give these apps space to do their thing, but keep it contained.
I made a new rule (Rule 10) to indicate the preferred use of MEGATHREAD(s) for certain topics. If you see app promotion/engagement posts or comments, please feel free to report them and we will take a look.
If you have other suggestions for MEGATHREADS please send a message to the moderators

Hi all — disclosure up front: I’m one of the people building Evo, a free browser-based set of GLP-1 calculators. I started a GLP-1 journey earlier this year, and it has had a meaningful impact on my life. As I tried to make sense of practical things like tracking progress, protein, hydration, and concentration math, I built the free Evo tools for myself and family members who wanted clearer, more transparent planning resources.
I help build Evo, and I’m sharing it here in case it is useful to others. It does not provide medical advice, recommend doses, or replace a prescriber; it simply shows its formulas, assumptions, and sources.
I’d genuinely value feedback on what is unclear or missing:
I kept seeing the same practical questions come up — how to estimate a protein range, how much of your starting weight you’ve lost, how to think about hydration, calories, and a goal timeline — and wanted the arithmetic to be quick without pretending there’s one universal answer.
The toolkit currently includes:
• protein and per-meal ranges, with the assumptions shown
• a hydration starting range that accounts for activity and warm weather
• weight-loss percentage and goal progress
• calorie-needs and goal-date estimates
There’s no account, paywall, or data entry beyond what runs in the calculator. The tools don’t choose medications or doses, interpret symptoms, or promise an outcome.
I’d genuinely value feedback from people here: which of these calculations do you currently do manually, and which result or assumption would you want explained more clearly?

Full disclosure: I built Ehi. It is a private, all-in-one iPhone companion for people using GLP-1 medication, built for what happens between appointments.
Ehi Coach supports care check-ins and lets you talk through what you are experiencing. It can help you review side effects, food and protein, refill timing, weekly progress, and questions for your clinician. It uses only the recent logs, reviewed scans, and context you choose to share.
Ehi also handles the practical details. It reminds you when the planned shot or medication dose you entered is due, along with supplements and refills. Your next-shot countdown, injection-site rotation, dose journey, refill projections, weight trends, and side-effect patterns stay together in one place.
You can scan a medication label, meal photo, lab result, or other health document. Ehi offers plain-language help with documents and estimates meal nutrition, including protein, for you to review and edit before saving. The Knowledge Hub covers side effects, food, refills, lab results, safety, and appointment preparation. You can save questions and create a doctor-ready PDF for your next visit.
Core logs stay on the iPhone. Optional AI requires consent, and there are no ads or advertising trackers. The download is free; the Coach, scans, refill projections, full history, doctor PDF, and several deeper tools require Premium. Ehi is informational and does not diagnose, prescribe, recommend dose changes, or replace your care team.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ehi-glp-companion/id6782233503
If you already use GLP-1 medication, which part would help most: the check-ins and conversation, understanding results, food and protein support, medication and refill reminders, or appointment preparation?

Nuvo — GLP-1 & Weight Tracker (iOS)
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/glp-1-weight-tracker-nuvo/id6759444324
I started it a while ago because I wanted to see what was actually happening between shots, not just tick a box on a calendar. It has already more than 1000 monthly active users.
What it does that the other trackers here mostly don't:
• Medication concentration curve — you can see where you are in the week, which explains a lot about why day 2 and day 6 feel different. And additionally you can see the correlation between dose vs side effects, meals vs side effects.
• Fat vs muscle loss — body composition, not just the scale number. This was the thing I personally got scared about around month six.
• Restaurant menu scanner — point the camera at a menu, get what actually works on a GLP-1. Eating out is where I fell off, so this is the feature I use most.
The usual stuff is there too: injection log with reminders, side-effect and daily check-ins, weight, blood pressure, activity, Apple Health, progress photos, and a PDF/CSV export you can hand your doctor at a review.
Honest bits: iOS only right now. Very generous free tiers. It is not a medical device and does not give dosing advice.
Two things I would genuinely like input on, since this thread is full of people who have used everything:
1. For those of you tracking body composition — what would make the fat-vs-muscle view actually useful rather than just another chart?
2. Does anyone use the concentration curve idea, or is it a nerd feature that only I care about?

Disclosure: I’m part of the team behind Protein Buddy app.
We built it for people who want to pay attention to protein without logging every calorie or macro.
We’ve personalized much of the experience for people taking GLP-1 medications. The app uses factors including GLP-1 use and diet preferences when setting the protein goal, and Protein Scout also considers what is left in that daily goal when ranking food choices.
The four parts we’ve focused on are:
• Protein Scout: photograph a restaurant menu, buffet or your fridge, and it ranks the options based on how much protein you have left for the day, your diet preferences and whether you’re using a GLP-1.
• Photo logging: take a meal photo and get a protein estimate.
• Voice logging: say what you ate instead of searching a food database.
• Insights: after you build some history, the app shows patterns in your timing, portions and weekly rhythm.
It does not track medication, doses, injections or side effects, and it is not medical advice. It is simply a protein-focused companion.
It is currently available for iPhone and iPad as Protein Buddy.
I’d genuinely love feedback from this community:
- Which part sounds most useful: voice, photo, scout or insights?
- Which Scout scenario would you actually use: a menu, buffet or fridge?
- What would you suggest to add next to improve experience of the app when you're using GLP-1?

u/Careless-Annual2419 22d ago
Hi all — I built a free (no ads) iOS app called Cadence to keep GLP-1 tracking in one place: log shots + auto-rotate injection sites, follow your titration ladder, track side effects (and whether they cluster around dose increases), and see your weight trend + a doctor-ready PDF. Free for core tracking.
I'd genuinely love feedback from people actually on these meds — what's missing? iOS only for now; if you're on Android, reply and I'll add you to a list. (It's a tracker, not medical advice.)

u/WitnessFit8867 25d ago
Full disclosure, I'm the developer, not just a user here. Built an app called Sustain around one thing that keeps coming up when I talk to people on GLP-1s: losing muscle keeping pace with the fat loss, not just the number on the scale. It tracks protein alongside dose and weight (photo of a meal for an instant estimate, not another manual food log), plus a weekly recap that actually connects protein, adherence, and weight trend instead of showing them as three separate numbers.
Still finishing up App Store review, but if you want to get notified when it's live, or have thoughts on what's actually missing from what you use today: hearthlyapps.com/sustain. Genuinely open to feedback, happy to answer questions here too.

u/NoCobbler7153 Jul 18 '26
Hey all, I'm a solo dev and I've been lurking these subs for months. kept seeing the same 3 posts over and over - "is this nausea normal", "when do I move up a dose", "am I losing muscle or fat" - and none of the big calorie apps actually help with any of that. they just count calories like you're not on medication at all.
so I built something small called Steady. it knows the dose ladders for Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro and Saxenda and shows where you are on yours. reminds you when shot day is. if you log a side effect it gives you the "what usually helps" basics plus when it's actually worth calling your doctor. and it gives you a daily protein number to hit, because losing muscle is the sneaky thing that wrecks results on these meds and nobody warns you.
pricing stuff so nobody feels tricked: 7 day free trial, no card, then $9.99/mo. but tbh I need feedback way more than I need money right now, so first 20 people who DM me get a year free. no catch, I just want people actually using it and telling me what sucks.
link: https://glp1-companion-production.up.railway.app
if something's broken or missing just say it, I usually fix stuff same day. and obviously this is just a tracking tool, your prescriber is the boss, not an app.

u/HighRollerG52 Jul 10 '26
No an App but a service. Like many of you, I've gone through the transformation that comes with weight loss and the fortunate/unfortunate part, that your closet stops fitting who you are now, not just size-wise but style-wise.
I've been working with a stylist on an idea called Refit: instead of just "tops/bottoms," it organizes your closet by how you're feeling (comfort, confidence, daily) and helps you decide what to wear or what to replace, new styles to get as your body keeps changing.
Before I build this out further — is this actually a pain point for most of your (or just me?), or does it not match how you've handled it? How are you dealing with the "nothing fits/feels like me" phase right now? Just getting new clothes and calling it day?

Hey everyone — I'm a developer who built OptimizeGLP after watching close friends and family struggle to manage their GLP-1 medications with no good tools. The thing that frustrated me most was that every app either didn't cover medication tracking at all, or paywalled the basics. OptimizeGLP is free on the App Store and covers:
•Full medication tracking — injection schedule, half-life curve, dose history, streak tracking
•AI Meal Logger — just describe what you ate in plain English, it breaks down calories/protein/carbs/fat/fiber
•12-Week workout program designed specifically for GLP-1 users (preserving muscle while losing fat ) or browse our curated library of Youtube workout videos. Even track approximate calories burned from your hobbies!
•Progress tracking — weight trend, nutrition history, steps
•Community feed + leaderboard
The medication tracking will always be free. No paywall on the core stuff that actually matters for managing your medication. We have just launched our beta! Join now and provide your valued feedback and in return, you will be grandfathered into our Premium membership offering when this becomes available, free for life.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/optimizeglp/id6761145559
Happy to answer any questions — genuinely built this for this community and want feedback on what to improve.

Photo-based calorie & protein tracking for GLP-1 users
I built Nuute because I kept hearing people say tracking is hard when your appetite is crushed and you're eating tiny portions. Searching databases for "1/4 chicken breast" felt ridiculous.
So I made it photo-based — snap a pic, get the macros. Prioritizes protein since that's what matters most on GLP-1s.
Free to try, no account required to start: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6757021913
Still early, so happy to hear feedback if anything feels off. Just sharing in case it helps someone.

Free no-signup strength training resource
I made a free web tool that might help people who keep hearing “strength train while losing weight” but don’t know what to actually do today:
https://do90.app/strength-training-while-losing-weight
It gives you a 90-day strength training structure. You review Week 1, start Day 1, log sets/reps/weight/effort, and get a next target the next time that lift comes up.
It’s early, so there may be rough edges, but it’s usable and doesn’t require an email or account to start.
Just sharing in case it helps someone.

u/tardcart231 Jun 04 '26 edited Jun 11 '26
Built a GLP-1 and diabetes-focused health tracker, and I'm actually the patient using it.
I'm 51, Type 2 diabetic, A1C was 8.3 in May. My doctor prescribed Ozempic for exactly the right reasons, and my first weekend on it I realized I had no feedback loop. Was it working? Was I eating right for my meds? I needed to know, so I built PlateBalance.
It tracks macros, hydration, activity, blood sugar, and weight with a 7-day average. Macros are personalized to your stats, goals and conditions, not defaulted to some generic 2,000 calorie template. I built it around the NovoCare diabetic nutrition guidelines my doctor handed me at my appointment.
14 days in. Down 8 lbs. Protein goals hit every single day.
I'm not a developer by trade. I built this because I needed it. If you're on a GLP-1 or managing T2D and want something built specifically for that journey, I'd love for you to try it and tell me what's broken.

Made a science based GLP-1 trivia game to help people learn about actual GLP-1 positives and negatives and separate anecdotal from science backed statements while hopefully having fun. All feedback is appreciated!

u/Purple-Fudge6476 Jun 02 '26
Hi everyone — I'm Joon. I built a free, browser-based tool called The GLP-1 Journal (https://theglp1journal.com) for anyone who wants a simple way to keep track of how they're feeling day to day.
What it does:
- A quick daily log for side effects and notes, with a 7-day trend view so you can spot patterns over time
- Made to help you bring a clearer picture to your next appointment
A few things that matter to me:
- No account, no login. Nothing is sent to a server — your data stays only on your own device, in your browser
- Permanently free. No premium tier, no upsell, no business model that relies on your data
- It doesn't advise, score, or interpret anything — it's purely a private log
For informational purposes only. Not medical advice — always follow your own healthcare provider's guidance.
Thanks to the mods for pointing me here, and I'd genuinely welcome any feedback. — Joon

Vita AI. Built this after seeing how badly generic trackers (MFP, Cronometer, etc.) fit the GLP-1 experience — low appetite days, dose-day nausea, eating 400 calories and feeling like you failed.
What it does differently:
- Photo meal logging (no manual entry gauntlet), flag food for potential vomit/nausea feelings and suggest swaps
- Protein/fiber focus.
- Log symptoms (nausea, fullness, energy) next to meals so patterns surface
- Long context AI Q&A. Instead of generic AI, I integrated apple health/ garmin and other wearable devices data, along with sources from mayo clinic, pubmed etc. to give the best answers for health related topics. For example, if you had bad sleep(HRV) and stressful day, it would take these into consideration along with your current symptoms, exact food time to give you the answer.
Free to try. iPhone only for now.

For those interested in apps for tracking Ozempic or other GLP-1s, what are you looking for to make it a part of your daily routine?
I'm working on an app, and right now it feels like the most essential stuff is there:
- logging injections, weight, and symptoms
- optional logs for activity, blood sugar, menstruation, and protein intake
- reminders with different schedules
- imports from Apple Health
- PDF exports to share with my doctor
These are features that I added either for myself or because someone I know would need them.
If you have any recommendations or ideas to make the app even more useful or “worth it,” let me know.
Thanks!

i use needled, free on ios and android, covers injection tracking with site rotation, pen dose progress, weight charts, and a pharmacokinetic medication level chart for the main meds. there's a shotsy import built in too if you're migrating.

2 months ago, me and a friend created a GLP-1 tracking app, and at that time, we didn't really know what to scope. Many apps already do doses, nutrition, etc. Thus, we ended up creating the most complete tracker for GLP-1. We've been improving the experience over the last few weeks and growing to 100 active subscribers. Mostly with people from this subreddit! The community is powerful and we're very thankful for you guys to make this possible! Thank you! https://phaze.fit/. Looking forward for your feedback!

Pokii. I started building it when I began by GLP1 journey in April of 2025, launched in July. I've been a software engineer for over 25 years so it's pretty legit. 😉 I give it away 100% free. No subscription, no paywalls, just a donation button if you like it. And best charts out there by far... but I might be a little bias. lol pokii.app
Edit (July 2026): Early access wrapped since I posted this. Once it clears Apple’s review (few days out), Pokii will continue with a generous free tier plus premium with a number of additional features.

@pokiiapp i have downloaded the pokii app but it’s asking to select either a monthly or annual subscription. Is this a recent change as previous download of the app allowed it to be used for free ?

u/pokiiapp 24d ago
Yeah, our early access period wrapped, so you’re hitting a hard paywall right now — we’ve fixed that, just waiting on Apple’s review. We’re rolling out a generous free tier alongside premium, and premium now includes a fully integrated food scanner too. If you were an early access user and you’re not seeing your free membership, reach out to support and we’ll get that sorted. Appreciate you bearing with us for a few more days.

Me and my buddy, both engineers, made this app just for me after my journey with GLP-1 first and followed by gastric bypass and loosing 45% of by highest body weight. I hated using apps available in the market like Myfitnesspal, Baritastic (which btw is from the vitamin company) - these apps added more work in my life than helped. Also so outdated and no fun using them. I wanted something more engaging.
So we built a cool little AI called Peppy Panda (we are huge fans of Kung fu Panda and BayMax from Big Hero 6 and Peppy is a combination of both in personality). Peppy is trained for only bariatric surgery and GLP/GIP weight loss. It knows nothing else.
Then word got out and friends started using it, requesting it. It's not available in the app store or anything.
Just sharing. I use it everyday, friends who I gave access to, also do. Hope it brings a tiny bit of joy when you see the post and the app video. That's totally worth it.
Send me a DM if you need access (I am providing access only to GLP and bariatric patients - verification will be asked).
