## What is Glik?

Glik shows how a food will affect your blood sugar: not just the glycaemic index, but the glycaemic load recalculated for the portion you will actually eat.

Now available in English, alongside Polish.

Glik is an educational tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, monitor or prevent any condition, and does not replace advice from a doctor, diabetes specialist or dietitian.

WHY LOAD, NOT JUST INDEX
Watermelon has a high glycaemic index, but a typical portion gives a low glycaemic load. The index alone can be misleading. Glik always shows both, and recalculates the load for the portion you choose.

WHAT IT DOES
- Side-by-side comparison of two products: index, load, carbs and fibre at a glance
- Glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) for your chosen portion
- Barcode scanner for packaged products
- Custom portion size, in grams or ounces
- Save a dish made of several ingredients as one reusable product with its own load
- Adds up the glycaemic load of a whole meal
- Better low-GI substitutes
- Export and import your favourites and meal, in case you switch phones
- Favourites and recently checked products
- Nutritional values, Nutri-Score and processing level (NOVA) for packaged products

WORKS OFFLINE
The built-in database works without an internet connection. You can also download thousands of packaged products in one tap, so scanning keeps working with no signal.

HONEST DATA
For every value you can see whether it was measured in a study or estimated from composition. We never present an estimate as if it were a measurement. The estimation method is explained directly in the app.

CLEAR FOR EVERYONE
We show the level with colour, shape and word together, so it can be read even with colour-vision differences. Text scaling and dark mode are supported.

PRICE AND PRIVACY
Pay once, every feature works right away, no subscription and no extra charges. No accounts, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your favourites and meals stay on your phone.

IMPORTANT
Glik is an educational tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, monitor or prevent any disease, and does not replace advice from a doctor, diabetes specialist or dietitian.

Packaged product data comes from Open Food Facts (ODbL licence).

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-05

A big update: the app now speaks English.

- Full English interface, alongside Polish — switch anytime in Settings.
- Switch between grams and ounces for every weight shown in the app.
- Growing database with English names for every product, searchable in English.
- Open Food Facts pack download now covers products from every country, not just Poland.
- Fixed a few rough edges from the previous release: duplicate portion entries on some products, some portion labels that stayed in Polish regardless of the app's language, and more room for long product names when comparing two products.

Note: if you had a meal saved with the affected duplicate portion selected, that entry now points at the corrected (smaller) portion — check your saved meal if a load number looks different after updating.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-02

A big update, lots of new features:

- Side-by-side comparison of two products: index, load, carbs and fibre at a glance, with independent portion control for each.
- Custom dish: save a meal made of several ingredients as one reusable product with its own load.
- Export and import your favourites and meal, in case you switch phones.
- "Calculate from label": no match in the database or a failed scan? Enter the values from the packaging and get an estimated index and load.
- Fixed search: now finds products typed without Polish accents and in different word forms.
- Expanded database: more zero-carb items and more preparation variants.
- Filters and sorting in Categories: green only, measured only, sort by load for your portion.
- A warning on juices and drinks: a low index does not always mean a slow rise in blood sugar.
- Minor visual and accessibility fixes.

App interface remains in Polish.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-13
