Your food, habits and progress, together in Weight Pocket. Build a daily record that helps you understand your routine. Log meals, track weight and hydration, and keep your medication entries organized in one place. FOOD AND NUTRITION Record meals, review calories and macronutrients, and use food photos or barcode scanning to help with logging. Photo recognition uses third-party AI and only runs after you allow it. Food recognition and nutrition values are estimates; review them before saving. HABITS AND PROGRESS Follow your weight over time, record water intake and daily habits, and set reminders that fit your routine. WiPi guides you through the app's features at your own pace. MEDICATION RECORDS Keep a record of your GLP-1 medication and the doses you log. Medication-level estimates are educational: they are not measured blood concentrations and must not be used to change a prescribed dose. OPTIONAL APPLE HEALTH CONNECTION Connect Apple Health to bring in steps, sleep, heart rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability and weight. Weight Pocket only reads this data, never writes to Apple Health and never uses it for advertising. You choose which permissions to allow. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Add widgets for your day, nutrition, hydration and next dose. EDUCATOR CONNECTION Members can choose to connect with an educator, who can then view their records in read-only mode. You can disconnect at any time. Educators use a separate workspace with accounts set up by our team; a member subscription does not create one and does not include medical care. SUBSCRIPTION Weight Pocket requires a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription. Eligible new subscribers get a 7-day free trial with the annual plan; the monthly plan has no free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple account settings. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Deleting your Weight Pocket account does not cancel your Apple subscription. Weight Pocket is for wellness education and personal tracking. It is not a medical device or a medical record, and it does not diagnose, treat, prescribe or replace a qualified healthcare professional. Talk to your clinician before changing medication, nutrition or treatment.
