Shotsy is one of the most popular GLP-1 trackers, and for good reason. Its free version logs shots, reminds you, rotates injection sites, and tracks side effects and weight. It works on iPhone and Android. But no single app suits everyone, and people look for a Shotsy alternative for specific reasons: a feature they want without a subscription, a device Shotsy doesn't support, or a different approach to data.
Below, we match six alternatives to those reasons, explain when staying with Shotsy makes more sense, and show how to switch without losing your history. For a feature-by-feature comparison with our own app, see Shotsy vs JabKeeper.
Why people look for a Shotsy alternative
Based on Shotsy's own listing and website, these are the most common gaps people try to fill:
- Premium features need a subscription. The estimated medication-level chart and Apple Health sync are part of Shotsy+. The US App Store lists it from $9.99 a month or $39.99 a year, with no lifetime option.
- No Apple Watch app. Shotsy's App Store listing doesn't include Apple Watch.
- No iPad version listed. The App Store lists iPhone, Mac and Apple Vision compatibility, but not a dedicated iPad version.
- Some data is collected. Shotsy's privacy label declares no tracking and nothing linked to you. It does list Health & Fitness, User Content, Usage Data and Diagnostics as collected but not linked to you.
- More than some people need. Multiple medicines, pills, body composition and glucose tracking are useful, but not for someone who just wants a simple weekly injection diary.

JabKeeper: if you want no subscription and no data collection
JabKeeper is our app, built for people on one weekly injection who want a private diary. The free version covers two dose records, reminders the day before and on the day, and an injection site rotation. A single $9.99 purchase unlocks everything else: unlimited history, weight and goals, a side-effect diary, food and protein, Apple Health and Calendar. Its App Store label is Data Not Collected, and there's no account or cloud.
Know the limits before switching. JabKeeper has no estimated medication levels, widgets, export, Android version or backup. It also tracks one weekly injection rather than several medicines or pills.
Glapp: if you want free medication levels and Apple Watch
If the medication-level chart is the Shotsy+ feature you want most, Glapp includes estimated levels in its free version. It also offers shot and weight tracking and supply tracking for pens and vials. It has an Apple Watch app and syncs your account across iPhone, Android and the web. Glapp Max, at $9.99 a month or $39.99 a year, adds progress reports, milestones and predictions.
Glapp doesn't describe a food log. Its privacy label lists Health & Fitness, Contact Info, Identifiers and Usage Data as linked to you, and declares no tracking.
GlucoPal: if you want no account with iCloud sync
GlucoPal keeps the convenience of sync without an account: data syncs through your own iCloud, and the developer says it can't access it. It includes an injection site rotation map, food logging with AI photo estimates and a database, progress photos and Apple Health. Estimated medication levels and PDF reports for your provider need GlucoPal Pro.
It's iPhone only for now, and its privacy label declares no tracking and nothing linked to you. In the UK, it's listed on the App Store as "Mounjaro Tracker".
MeAgain: if you want deeper food logging
MeAgain puts more emphasis on eating well during treatment. Its free version includes barcode, search and quick-entry food logging, with protein, water and fibre targets. It also has 18 common side effects plus custom ones, weight trends and a limited allowance of chats with its AI companion. Premium adds photo food logging and unlimited chat.
Its privacy label lists Identifiers and Usage Data as "Data Used to Track You", and MeAgain's website says there's no PDF export yet.
Pep: if you want to use an iPad
Pep, from Shred Apps, runs on iPhone, iPad and Android. Dose, weight, side-effect and reminder tracking are free. Pro, at about $40 a year, keeps your devices in sync. It includes injection sites, medication-level estimates, AI photo and barcode food logging, progress photos and widgets.
Pep says it has no PDF or clinician export, and its privacy label lists Identifiers as used to track you. Don't confuse it with a different app called Pep AI.
Apple Health: if you'd rather not install anything
The Medications feature in Apple's Health app can remind you on your injection day and follow up 30 minutes later if you haven't logged it. It records each dose as taken or skipped and works with Apple Watch. It doesn't track injection sites or link side effects to your doses. See Apple Health Medications vs JabKeeper for the details.

When to stay with Shotsy
Switching apps has a cost, and Shotsy remains a strong choice in several situations:
- You take more than one medicine or a daily GLP-1 pill. Shotsy handles several at once, each with its own schedule.
- You use its free version and don't need the Shotsy+ extras.
- You rely on CSV or PDF export, widgets or one of its 17 languages.
- You want iCloud sync between devices without creating an account on iPhone.
How to switch trackers without losing your history
- Export first. Shotsy offers CSV and PDF export, plus a JSON backup. Save a copy of your history before changing apps, even if your new app can't import it.
- Note your current routine: medicine, current dose, injection day and time, your last injection and your last site.
- Set up the new app with your most recent injection so its countdown and reminders start correctly. JabKeeper, for example, asks for this during setup.
- Avoid double reminders. Once the new app's reminders work, turn off the old app's notifications.
- Cancel any subscription you no longer need in iPhone Settings: tap your name, then Subscriptions. Deleting an app doesn't cancel a subscription.
