Ember is the GLP-1 tracker built to protect your muscle while you lose weight on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. Track injections, log protein, monitor side effects, and stay on schedule β€” all in one place. WHAT MAKES EMBER DIFFERENT Most GLP-1 apps track your shots. Ember tracks what those shots are doing to your body. With semaglutide and tirzepatide, up to 25% of what you lose can be muscle. Ember keeps you focused on protein, strength training, and recovery β€” so the weight you lose stays off. TRACK EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS β€’ Injection log with dose history, site rotation, and reminders β€’ Protein and nutrition tracking optimized for GLP-1 users β€’ Strength & resistance training log to protect lean muscle mass β€’ Side effect tracker: nausea, fatigue, constipation, and more β€’ Weight and body measurement trends β€’ Apple Health sync DOCTOR REPORT Generate a ready-to-share PDF with your full injection history, weight progress, side effects, and more β€” perfect for your next appointment. FOOD NOISE TRACKING (PREMIUM) Score your daily food noise β€” those intrusive food thoughts β€” on a 0–10 scale. See 30-day trends in Insights and include it in your Doctor Report. Unique to Ember. HORMONES & CYCLE Track HRT, hot flushes, menstrual cycles (opt-in), and GLP-1-specific hormonal changes β€” features no other GLP-1 tracker offers. Useful for anyone on GLP-1 or TRT. BUILT FOR YOUR MEDICATION Supports Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Rybelsus, Saxenda, Victoza, and compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Health Disclaimer: Ember is designed for tracking and educational purposes only. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical decisions.

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 β€” Sturdy understands all of it. MUSCLE GUARD β€” 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 β€” and exactly what to do if it isn't. SNAP A PHOTO, GET PROTEIN Point your camera at any meal β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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
