Shotsy is a well-built GLP-1 tracker. Its core tracking is free, it runs on iPhone and Android, and it covers the fundamentals: dose logging, side effects, weight charts, injection site rotation, dose planning, nutrition, reminders, and PDF reports for your care team.
HereForIt covers the same ground and adds cycle-aware context to your logs. Ember can use your medication and dose history, with limited free chat use and additional tools on Pro. HereForIt also runs in a browser, so you can use it before installing anything.
