Your GLP-1, kept simple. GLP Smart is a private log for people on a GLP-1 medication. Log a dose in one tap, see your next one at a glance, and hand your doctor a clean report. LOG IN ONE TAP A pill takes one tap. For a shot, pick a site if you like and we suggest the next one, so rotating takes no thought. Taking it late? Change the time. REMINDERS THAT KEEP A SECRET One reminder at the time you choose. It says it is dose day. It never shows your medication or dose. It works offline. WEIGHT, WAIST AND HOW YOU FEEL Log your weight in pounds or kilos on any date. Tap quick tags for common side effects and add a note. Watch your progress on a simple chart. SUPPLY AND PAUSES Count down the doses you have left and get a nudge to refill. Pause treatment and your history stays put. READY FOR YOUR DOCTOR Share a one-page PDF of your doses, weight and side effects. Pick the last 30 days, 90 days or all time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything you log stays on your phone. There is no account and we cannot see your entries. Back up to a file whenever you like. TRY IT FREE FOR 7 DAYS Start with a 7-day free trial on the monthly plan, then it renews monthly until you cancel. Yearly and lifetime plans are also available. Your history, backups and reminders always stay yours, even without Plus. GLP Smart is a personal log. It is not medical advice and it never suggests a medication or a dose. Follow your prescriber's instructions. Terms: https://glpsmart.app/terms/ Privacy: https://glpsmart.app/privacy/
