Track a meal in less than 10 seconds, then get back to your day. BasicPlate is a calorie and macro tracker for people who've downloaded every other calorie counter, used it for a week, and deleted it. The problem was never willpower — it's that logging food is tedious. So we made it simpler. BasicPlate is the calorie tracking app that includes everything you need and nothing you don't. Building mindful eating habits shouldn't be frustrating. Your tools should help you get the job done without getting in the way, and that's why we built BasicPlate. Snap a photo, leave a voice note, or type a quick line — "about two cups, cooked in olive oil" — and combine any of them before the AI estimates your meal. A photo alone can't tell you how something was cooked or how big that serving actually was. That context is what makes the number accurate, and it's the part most AI food trackers skip. --- What's Inside: - AI food logging by photo, voice, or text, in any combination - Barcode scanner for packaged foods - Daily calorie and macro tracking — protein, carbs, fat, against your targets - Custom recipes: describe them out loud, build them by hand, or paste a URL to import the whole thing in a few seconds - Recipes remember their serving size, so logging a half portion is one tap - Workout logging that turns a description of your session into a calorie-burn estimate - Apple Health sync to track your activity data against your goals - One-tap water tracking - Weight, measurements, and progress photos, so you're watching a trend, not just today's number Whether you're cutting, building muscle, holding steady, or just trying to eat with a little more awareness, BasicPlate is built to be the food diary you're still using in six months — not the one buried on page three of your home screen. Free to download, with a free trial included. After the trial, a subscription unlocks unlimited AI logging, unlimited recipes, and full progress history. Monthly and annual plans available.

GLP

Glipath is a GLP-1 tracker built for people on a weekly shot — a calm, private companion for the everyday details of your routine, wherever your path is headed. Log every shot or injection in seconds, and watch an estimated medication-level curve build over time — an estimate from published pharmacokinetics, not a measurement. Set a medication reminder so dose day never sneaks up on you, and check your home-screen widget for a glance at what's coming next. Track weight and progress trends alongside your dose history, log protein and calories, note food noise as it comes and goes, and record side effects as they happen — all in one place, all lined up on your own timeline. Manual entry, barcode scanning, and food search are always free, plus one AI food-photo scan a day. Glipath isn't only for GLP-1 medications. You can log any peptide you're using too: cycle planning helps you keep track of on and off periods, and injection-site rotation keeps a record of where each dose went. Compounds like BPC-157 sit on the same private timeline as your GLP-1 doses. The food noise chart is where it comes together: see how loud or quiet food noise has been week to week, sitting right next to your dose and weight trends instead of living in a separate app or a paper notebook. Go Premium ($39.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $9.99/month) for unlimited AI food scans, Apple Health sync, and deeper insights (food-noise correlation, side-effect patterns across your dose cycle, and dose-timing trends), plus provider-ready PDF reports for your next appointment. iCloud sync across your devices is free and on from the start; turn it off any time. Tracking a GLP-1 for PCOS or insulin resistance? Glipath tailors what you see and keeps your labs, weight, food noise, and side effects in one place — your own data, never medical advice. Your data stays on your device, not on our servers. Glipath is built local-first, so your medication, biometric, and food history belong to you alone — nothing is uploaded, nothing is sold. Glipath is a tracking tool, not medical advice — always talk to your provider about semaglutide or any other GLP-1 medication and about your routine. Export everything, anytime, as CSV or JSON. Whatever path you're on, Glipath keeps the details straight so you can focus on the rest. Terms of Use: https://glipath.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://glipath.com/privacy/
