My GLP ShotMy GLP Shot vs Glapp
Both apps are free GLP-1 trackers with thoughtful interfaces. The biggest difference is platform: Glapp is iOS-only, while My GLP Shot is a single Progressive Web App that runs on iOS, Android, and any browser. The other big difference is depth on the medication-side toolkit (mixing calculator, custom dosing) and the privacy posture (local-first by default, end-to-end encrypted optional sync, open source).

Quick verdict
- If you're on Android: My GLP Shot. Glapp is iOS-only.
- If you want an Apple Watch glance + native iOS polish: Glapp is a strong pick. We don't have a Watch app yet.
- If you mix compounded peptides or microdose: My GLP Shot. The built-in mixing calculator and custom dosing schedules are core, not bolt-ons.
- If privacy is the priority: My GLP Shot. Local-first by default, end-to-end encrypted optional sync, open-source.
- If you want lab tracking, body measurements, or a doctor-share PDF: My GLP Shot premium ($19.99 / year flat).

Free vs free: what's actually the trade-off
Both apps are free at the entry point, so price isn't the decision. The trade-off is the shape of the product.
Glapp is an iOS-native experience. Apple Watch, Vision Pro, iPhone widgets, Apple Health, and a polished design language. If you're an iPhone user who wants a wrist-side glance and tight platform integration, that's a real advantage we can't match — and we'll say so.
My GLP Shot is a single PWA that works on every device with a browser, including the Android phone the rest of the household uses. The medication-side depth is also stronger: a mixing calculator that handles compounded peptides, custom dosing schedules for microdosing or split-dosing, and a $19.99-per-year premium tier that adds lab tracking, body measurements, supply inventory, and a doctor-share PDF.
The privacy story
Glapp's marketing site says they don't monetize user data and that cloud storage is encrypted. Their App Store privacy card lists health, contact, and usage data linked to identity. They are not, as of this writing, documenting end-to-end encryption.
My GLP Shot defaults to local-only storage. Your shots, doses, weights, mood, body measurements, lab values, photos, and notes never leave your device unless you explicitly opt into cloud sync. If you do turn on sync, the encryption happens in your browser before any byte hits the server:
- Your password is run through PBKDF2-SHA-256 with 600,000 iterations to derive an AES-256-GCM key that stays on your device.
- The server stores opaque ciphertext only and has no key material.
- Doctor-share links use a fresh per-share AES key in the URL fragment after the
#— fragments are not sent to servers, so the share key never reaches us.
The source is on GitHub if you want to verify any of that.
When Glapp is the better choice
- You're on iOS and want an Apple Watch companion.
- You use an iPhone widget or Vision Pro.
- You don't need lab tracking, body measurements, mixing calculations, or a doctor-share PDF.
- You strongly prefer a native iOS app over a PWA.
When My GLP Shot is the better choice
- You're on Android, or your household has both iOS and Android.
- You're on a compounded peptide and need a built-in mixing calculator.
- You microdose, split-dose, or run a non-standard cadence.
- You want lab tracking, body measurements, supply inventory, or a doctor-share PDF.
- You want local-first, open-source, end-to-end encrypted sync — verifiable on GitHub.
- You want one app that follows you across phone, tablet, and desktop browsers.
Migrating from Glapp
Glapp's data export is limited; the cleanest path right now is manual entry of your dose history into My GLP Shot, which supports backdating. A CSV import is on the roadmap.
