The first tracker built only for your GLP-1 journey. Generic calorie apps weren't made for this. Tiny appetites, weekly injections, rotation sites, day-2 nausea, protecting your muscle while the scale drops — Sturdy understands all of it. MUSCLE GUARD — THE SCORE NO OTHER TRACKER HAS Up to 40% of GLP-1 weight loss can be muscle. Your weekly Muscle Guard score reads your loss pace and protein intake and tells you, plainly, whether your muscle is protected this week — and exactly what to do if it isn't. SNAP A PHOTO, GET PROTEIN Point your camera at any meal — even three bites counts. Our AI estimates protein first, because keeping your muscle is the whole game on a GLP-1. NEVER MISS A SHOT Weekly dose reminders, an injection-site rotation map, and titration-friendly dose logging. You enter what your provider prescribed; we keep it organized. THE REAL TREND, NOT THE NOISE Daily weights bounce. Our smoothed trend line shows what's actually happening, with a realistic projection toward your goal. UNDERSTAND YOUR SIDE EFFECTS Log symptoms in one tap and see how they pattern around your shot day — so day-2 nausea stops being a surprise. A REPORT YOUR DOCTOR WILL LOVE Export a clean PDF of your weight trend, dose history, and symptoms for appointments. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your health data stays on your device. No ads, no data selling, ever. Works whichever GLP-1 you're prescribed — branded or compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Sturdy is a tracking tool, not medical advice. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions. Subscription required after free trial; terms: https://trysturdy.com/terms privacy: https://trysturdy.com/privacy
