Track injections, monitor side effects, understand your food noise, and watch your progress week by week. Built by GLP-1 users, for GLP-1 users. —————————————————————————— WHAT YOU CAN TRACK Injection Log Never miss a dose.

Most health apps weren't built for GLP-1 users. They don't track food noise. They don't understand injection schedules. They don't connect weight trends to dose changes. GLP Buddy does because it was built by someone on this journey, too. —————————————————————————— DISCLAIMER GLP Buddy is a personal logging and tracking tool.

Always consult your healthcare provider regarding your medication and health decisions. —————————————————————————— SUBSCRIPTION GLP Buddy requires a subscription to access all features.
