Best GLP-1 tracker apps in 2026: an honest comparison

If you’re on a GLP-1 medication — Mounjaro (tirzepatide), Wegovy or Ozempic (semaglutide), Saxenda (liraglutide), Zepbound or anything in that family — you’ve probably noticed that the App Store is suddenly full of trackers. Most of them feel like reskinned calorie counters. A few are genuinely useful. This is an honest 2026 look at the apps real people on a GLP-1 actually use.

We’re biased — we make Akoma, one of the apps on this list — so we’ll point out what we think we do well and where the alternatives are stronger. The aim isn’t to win every category. It’s to help you pick the app that fits your particular flavour of GLP-1 journey.

What a GLP-1 tracker actually needs to do

Before listing apps, it’s worth pinning down what a good GLP-1 tracker should do in 2026. From talking to hundreds of people on Mounjaro and Wegovy, five jobs come up over and over:

1. Log injections— dose, site, exact time — and remind you to rotate sites week to week. Same-site overuse causes lipohypertrophy (firm patches of fatty tissue) and can change how the medication absorbs.
2. Track side effects with timestamps. Nausea, fatigue and GI symptoms often follow a predictable pattern in the 48 hours after a shot. Seeing that pattern is the difference between tolerating a dose and panicking about it.
3. Show weight honestly. Daily weights are noisy. You want a chart that smooths the wobble without hiding plateaus.
4. Make logging meals frictionless.Most people on a GLP-1 don’t want to weigh broccoli. They want a low-effort record of what they actually ate — often just to spot the foods that turn nauseous on them.
5. Respect your privacy.Medication data is sensitive. You should know where it goes and what’s done with it.

With that framing, here are the apps worth knowing about.

Akoma — the calm GLP-1 companion

Best for: people who want a focused, privacy-first GLP-1 tracker without weight-loss gamification.

Akoma is a native iPhone app built specifically around the GLP-1 medication journey. Injections with site-rotation reminders are the spine of the product; side-effect logging, honest weight trends, water, and a low-effort meal log sit alongside. There’s no leaderboard, no streak shame, and no friend graph. Meal photos are processed once and discarded, never used to train models. Logs stay on your device.

Akoma is free to download. An optional Akoma Premiumsubscription unlocks AI-assisted meal recognition. It’s available worldwide on the Apple App Store.

Where it’s strongest: the calm interface, injection-site rotation, and privacy posture (no web account, no tracking pixels, native iOS).

Where it isn’t for you: if you actively want leaderboards and a social weight-loss community, look elsewhere. Akoma is intentionally quiet.

Shotsy

Best for: people whose primary need is a no-frills injection log with a clean calendar view.

Shotsy was one of the earliest dedicated GLP-1 injection trackers and still does the basics well. It focuses tightly on the shot itself — date, dose, site, a calendar. Light on side-effect tracking, light on meal logging, no real meal-photo workflow.

Trade-off:if you want side-effect trends, water, weight and meals in the same place, you’ll end up using Shotsy plus a second app. Akoma collapses that into one.

MeAgain

Best for: users who want a community feature and more weight-loss-app flavour alongside their tracking.

MeAgain leans into the weight-loss experience — goals, badges, community feed. If that motivates you, it works. If it stresses you out, it’s the opposite of what you want from a GLP-1 app.

Trade-off: the social and gamification layers come with a heavier data-collection footprint. Read the privacy policy carefully before you sign up.

Glapp

Best for: Android users (Akoma is iPhone-only) and people who want a generic dose log across multiple medications.

Glapp’s strength is cross-platform availability. If your household includes both an Android and an iPhone user on GLP-1s and you want to use the same app, Glapp is a reasonable bridge.

Trade-off: being cross-platform means a less polished, less Apple-Health-integrated experience on iOS than a native iPhone app delivers.

ShotTrack

Best for: people who really, truly only want to log the injection itself and nothing else.

ShotTrack is the most pared-back of the lot. It’s essentially a single-screen injection log. If you already track weight in Apple Health, meals in another app, and just need a place to record the weekly shot, it’ll do that job.

Trade-off: no side-effect trends, no meal logging, no rotation reminders worth the name.

How to choose

A practical decision tree:

• If you want one calm app for the whole journey — injection, side effects, weight, meals, water, all in one place, with rotation reminders, on iPhone — that’s the gap Akoma is built for.
• If you want community and motivation features, MeAgain is closer to what you’re after.
• If you’re on Android, Glapp is the easier choice today.
• If you genuinely only want an injection log and will track everything else elsewhere, Shotsy or ShotTrack do that job adequately.

What to ask before you sign up to any GLP-1 app

1. Is my injection, dose and side-effect data stored on my device, or on a company server? If it’s on a server, what jurisdiction?
2. Does the app sell, share, or use my data to train AI models? Is that explicit in the privacy policy?
3. Does the app show ads or run third-party tracking pixels?
4. What happens to my meal photos? Are they stored, or processed and discarded?
5. Is there a recurring subscription? What does the free tier actually include?

These are the questions we built Akoma’s answers around. If you’d like to see how it feels for yourself, the app is free to download on the App Store and works worldwide.
