Simple GLP is the fastest, most private way to log your GLP-1 medication, whether it's a weekly shot or a daily pill. It's free, needs no account, and takes a minute to set up. Built for people who just want the dose recorded, not another subscription or a spreadsheet. ONE TAP TO LOG Open the app, tap the Home Screen widget, or raise your wrist with Apple Watch. Your dose is timestamped instantly. Add dose, injection site, notes, and symptoms later if you want. WEEKLY SHOTS Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, or your own. Set your dose plan, weekday, and time. Simple GLP marks each shot early, on time, or late and reminds you before the next one. DAILY PILLS Wegovy pill, Rybelsus, Foundayo, or your own. One tap logs today's pill and starts a wait timer you set to match your prescriber's instructions, with a notification when it's done. The countdown also shows on the widget and Apple Watch. A daily reminder skips days you've already logged, and a streak and week view show how the routine is going. FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNT Logging, reminders, history, the pill wait timer, and insights are free and stay free. No sign-up, no login, no email. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No data sold. Your history and any captured Health context stay on your device, shared between the app, widget, and watch through a secure App Group. OPTIONAL HEALTHKIT CONTEXT With your permission, Simple GLP can attach context from Apple Health (weight, glucose, activity, sleep, heart rate, workouts, water, caffeine, calories, and protein) to each dose. Read-only. Never written back. SIMPLE GLP PRO (OPTIONAL) Everything you need to log is free. Pro adds the wait countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, supply tracking with a refill heads-up before you run out, and missed-dose and timing alerts. Subscribe in-app. Cancel anytime in Settings. NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE Simple GLP records what you tell it you took and when. It does not provide medical advice, dosing instructions, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Always follow your prescriber's guidance. Subscription Details Simple GLP Pro is available as an auto-renewing subscription (Monthly or Yearly, both with a 7-day free trial) or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
