Elixr
Read full descriptionHide full description
Elixr is a supplement tracker with absorption science built in. It flags the supplements in your routine that cancel each other out — and shows you the study behind every note. Most trackers just buzz at you at 9am. Elixr knows that calcium blocks iron, that zinc and copper compete for the same pathway, and that coffee cuts iron absorption — and it tells you when you've put two of them in the same time slot. FLAGS COMBINATIONS THAT CANCEL OUT 15 research-backed interaction pairs, each with a one-tap link to the study on PubMed. Plain language, no jargon, and a clear note that this is information — not medical advice. TIMING TRAVELS WITH EACH SUPPLEMENT Set the conditions once: with food, on an empty stomach, needs a fat-rich meal, away from coffee and tea. Assign it to a time of day and Elixr checks the fit — something that needs food, dropped into a slot without it, gets flagged right on your Today screen. Start typing and Elixr recognises 61 common supplements and fills in their usual conditions for you. REMINDERS THAT FOLLOW YOUR REAL SCHEDULE Every day, chosen weekdays, or every few days — with start dates, end dates, a pause while you take a break, and as-needed items that never nag. Each notification lists exactly what's due. Mark everything taken, or snooze 30 minutes, without opening the app. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Small, medium or large. See what's still due, tick off a single supplement, or mark a whole time slot done — straight from the home screen. CONSISTENCY, NOT GAMIFICATION Seven days, a month, or a year at a glance: days completed, your completion rate, and a calendar where every day reads as complete, partial, skipped, missed or still pending. Tap any day to see what you took — and correct it if you forgot to log something. No streak to break, no badges, no guilt. SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Your schedule and history sync through your own iCloud account. Set it up on iPhone, find it on iPad. No Elixr account, no sign-up, no password. READABLE FOR EVERYONE Full VoiceOver support and Dynamic Type throughout. Available in English, German, Japanese and Korean. WHAT ELIXR DOESN'T DO No ads. No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs of any kind. No subscription — you buy it once. Nothing you enter leaves your own devices. Elixr helps you organise what you already take. It is not medical advice — talk to your healthcare provider about what's right for you.

LUBB is a personal tracking system that connects your nutrition, training, budget, and supplements in one place. Most people manage these across separate apps and spreadsheets. LUBB brings them together so you can see your routines clearly across the areas that matter most. FUEL — NUTRITION TRACKING (LUBB PLUS) Log meals and track your daily macros: protein, carbs, fat, and calories. Set personal targets, scan barcodes, and track water intake. Fast logging designed for real daily routines. KINETIX — WORKOUT TRACKING (LUBB PLUS) Log training sessions and track weights, sets, and reps. The Adaptive Training Engine builds a personalized weekly program based on your experience, goals, available days, and any movement restrictions. WEALTH — BUDGET MANAGEMENT (LUBB PLUS) Track income, expenses, and planned savings. Log spending by category, manage monthly goals, and compare your pace month over month. PILL STACK — SUPPLEMENT SCHEDULING (LUBB PLUS) Organize your supplement routine across four daily windows. Set food guidance and reminders. The catalog includes 75+ supplements with general reference information and timing notes. Supplement information is provided for reference only and is not medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement. BODY GOAL — PHASE TRACKING (LUBB PLUS) Set a phase—cut, bulk, or maintain—and log regular weigh-ins to track your direction over time. LUMEN — BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS (LUBB PLUS) Lumen observes patterns across your data and surfaces one brief insight per day when something meaningful emerges. It notices when things shift—a training gap, a spending spike, or a week where multiple areas go off-track at once. Observations only. No advice or coaching. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY TRACK LUBB is built for people who already track macros, train consistently, and watch their budget—and want one integrated system instead of separate tools. • Free to download with in-app purchases • Continued access requires a monthly LUBB Plus subscription • Eligible accounts may receive 14 days of complimentary access • No subscription starts automatically during the complimentary access period • Requires an account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elixr at none against LUBB's 1. LUBB's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
