About

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/

Check today's protocol on Apple Watch. PROTOCOL PRO Free includes up to three active protocols, scheduling, reminders, dose history, manual health tracking, one bloodwork report import and local backup. Protocol Pro adds unlimited protocols and bloodwork imports, bloodwork trends and report comparison, vial and pen inventory, Apple Health integration, the Apple Watch app, Protocol Insights, estimated exposure graphs, Physiological Response and HRV views, and PDF and CSV exports.

IMPORTANT Protocol helps you record and understand your own health information. It doesn't diagnose, treat or recommend doses. Estimated values, such as exposure graphs and vial inventory, are calculations from what you record, not measured blood levels. Trends show associations, not cause and effect. Always follow the advice of a qualified healthcare professional.
