Log Dose
Read full descriptionHide full description
Track every dose. See what's working. Log Dose is a fast, private tracker for supplements, peptides, GLP-1s and medications: built for people who want to see their health data and their dose history in one place. LOG IN SECONDS • Scan a product barcode to autofill the name and dose • Pick a formulation (tablet, capsule, injection and more) • Quick re-entry: your last dose pre-fills the form • Back-date or pre-log doses with the built-in calendar TAG SIDE EFFECTS • Add symptoms to any dose from quick-tap chips or your own words • Your custom tags are remembered for next time • Review any dose later (time, amount, formulation, effects, notes) SYNC WITH APPLE HEALTH - READ-ONLY • Weight, steps, sleep, resting heart rate, dietary and active energy • Log Dose only reads the categories you approve, and never writes to Health SEE THE PATTERNS • Trends for every metric across 4 weeks to all-time • Dose timeline per medicine - see exactly when you changed dose • Estimated concentration curve based on published half-lives • Compare mode: overlay your body data on your dose history to spot lag • Energy balance: calories in vs out, with your daily deficit or surplus • A monthly activity calendar that fills in as you weigh, log and move PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • Your data is yours: export everything as CSV/JSON at any time • Delete your account and all data in one tap • Optional anonymous cohort comparisons - off by default, and group stats are only ever shown when enough people are in them to prevent identification Log Dose is an informational tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Estimates such as the concentration curve are for general education only. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your medications and doses.

Daily Portion Buddy is portion control without the spreadsheet. Define your own food categories and serving sizes — vegetables, protein, water, or anything your own plan calls for — then tap once each time you eat a serving. No calorie database to search, no macros to calculate by hand, just a simple daily picture of whether you're eating balanced. HOW IT WORKS • Define your categories — set a serving size and a daily target for each one, worded the way you actually think about food (a cup, a palm, a glass). • Tap to log servings — every portion is one tap. Watch each category fill in as you go through the day. • Hit your daily goal — a simple progress bar shows how balanced today is. Flip back through past days anytime. AI-SUGGESTED CATEGORIES & SERVINGS Not sure where to start? Tell us your sex, age, and weight and Daily Portion Buddy suggests a starting set of categories and daily serving targets for you to adjust as you go. SNAP A PLATE — AI PHOTO FOOD ID Take a photo and Snap A Plate identifies the food, estimates which of your categories and how many servings it covers, and gives you an estimated calorie and macro (protein, carb, fat) breakdown. The AI forms an initial read, then explicitly re-examines distinguishing details — sauce, texture, hot vs. cold, mixed-in ingredients, and how mounded or deep the portion is — before finalizing, to cut down on mix-ups between similar-looking dishes. Estimates are informational only and never replace your own judgment. SPEAK A PLATE Prefer to describe your meal instead of photographing it? Speak or type what you ate and get the same category, calorie, and macro estimate. CHEF BUDDY A lighthearted way to see your progress: pick from the categories you still have room for today and watch Buddy "cook up" a plate with them. Purely cosmetic, purely for fun — a small reward for staying on track. MOOD CHECK-INS Log how you're feeling alongside your portions, with a private note field. Optionally share just your mood level (never your notes) with your Social Circle for encouragement. FAMILY & SUPPORT CIRCLE Track portions for more than one family member from a single account, or invite a supporter to your Circle for accountability and encouragement. Built for households managing portions together, not just solo tracking. KIDS MODE A simpler, kid-friendly logging view, plus optional mood & behavior notes — including on-device voice dictation for the note field, so younger or older family members can speak instead of type. Dictation is on-device speech-to-text only; nothing is sent to a server or an AI model. REPORTS, HISTORY & AI INSIGHTS Look back at any past day, see how consistently you're hitting your targets by category, export a doctor-ready PDF summary, and generate an AI-written insight that surfaces patterns between your logged mood and your portions over the last 7 or 30 days. Available in 9 languages. Daily Portion Buddy is a tracking and habit tool, not a medical device — it does not diagnose, treat, or replace advice from a physician or registered dietitian. AI-estimated calories and macros are approximations based on a single photo, description, or audio clip, not a lab or database lookup. Premium AI features (Snap A Plate, Speak A Plate, AI-suggested categories, PDF export, and AI insights) run on a monthly token allowance included with a Personal or Family subscription plan. Start tracking — it's free.
