Your GLP-1 journey, private and simple OffGrid Dose is the privacy-first tracker built for people on semaglutide, tirzepatide, Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound and other GLP-1 medications. No accounts. No servers. Your weight, doses, photos, and side effects stay on your device, where they belong. --Why OffGrid Dose-- Most weight and medication trackers send your data to a cloud server, ask you to create an account, and monetize your behavior. OffGrid Dose does none of that. There is no backend. There is nothing to hack, subpoena, or sell. Your device is your record. --Built for the weekly injection-- • 10-second check-in flow Log your dose, injection site, and weight faster than it takes to uncap the pen. • Injection site rotation map Track eight zones across the abdomen, thigh, arm, and hip, with “last used” memory so you never double up. • Medication level curve See an estimated concentration curve between doses, computed locally using published half-life and t-max data. • Titration-aware dose graphs Includes presets for Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide. --Progress that tells a story-- • Weight chart with dose-change markers • Total change, weekly average, BMI, percent change, current weight, and distance to goal • Progress photos from front, left, and right angles, stored only on your device • Before/after comparison image you can share, only if you choose --Side effect tracking-- • Quick-tap logging for nausea, fatigue, GI symptoms, headaches, hair thinning, injection site reactions, and more • Severity and resolution tracking • Correlation view to help spot patterns around dose changes --Daily calendar & notes-- • Month grid with per-day indicators for weights, injections, and symptoms • Free-form daily notes for context your future self will thank you for --Local reminders-- • Weekly injection reminder on the day and time you choose • Optional daily weight reminder • All notifications are scheduled on-device and are never sent through a server --PDF export for your doctor-- Generate a clean, printable summary of your weight history, dose changes, injection log, side effects, and notes for any date range. --Privacy, guaranteed by architecture-- • No account creation • No database servers to get hacked • All the data user enters on the app is saved only locally on their device --Subscription-- Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled and can be managed anytime in: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions Prices are shown on the subscription screen inside the app and are charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: OffGrid Dose at none against Melow's shown. OffGrid Dose also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Melow's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
