Read full description

Glucapy is a steady glucose buddy built with and for people living with type 1 diabetes, and it is also useful for anyone who wants clearer insight into glucose patterns, food, and daily routines. Instead of generic templates, Glucapy focuses on practical day-to-day care: log meals and carbs quickly, understand post-meal responses, review high-fat slow-rise patterns, and connect CGM data through Apple Health or Nightscout. Photo tools and the food database help reduce manual entry, while glucose reviews turn scattered numbers into insights you can use. KEY FEATURES - AI photo recognition and speech input for faster food logging - Carb, protein, and nutrition records - CGM data sync through Apple Health and Nightscout - Post-meal and daily glucose reviews - Hypo & Hyper event alerts and personalized reviews - Local-first privacy for health data WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS Glucapy does not require a proprietary sensor. Authorize Apple Health or connect Nightscout to keep your existing CGM workflow. PRIVACY FIRST Your glucose and health data stay on your device. Glucapy does not collect sensor models, insulin pumps, medication records, or your core health data. Only non-medical profile details you choose to save, such as nickname or dietary preference, are used for sync. GLUCAPY PRO SUBSCRIPTION Glucapy Pro unlocks AI photo recognition, speech input, the complete food database, and other advanced tools. Monthly and yearly plans are available. The exact price is shown in the App Store before checkout. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. This app is a health data management tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. Always consult your healthcare professional before making medical decisions.
