My GLP Shot vs Glippy
Both apps are genuinely free GLP-1 trackers — no paywall, no card on file, no nag screens. The difference is the shape of each product. Glippy leans into a moderated peer community and a clean daily check-in flow. My GLP Shot leans into the medication side: a mixing calculator for compounded peptides, an active-medication concentration chart, custom dosing schedules, and (on premium) lab tracking and a doctor-share PDF. We also stay local-first with optional end-to-end encrypted sync, where Glippy is cloud-based.

Quick verdict
- If a built-in moderated community is part of your routine: Glippy. We don't have one.
- If you mix compounded peptides or microdose: My GLP Shot. The mixing calculator and custom dosing schedules are core.
- If you want lab tracking, body measurements, or a doctor-share PDF: My GLP Shot premium ($19.99/year flat).
- If privacy is the priority: My GLP Shot. Local-first by default, end-to-end encrypted optional sync, open source.
- If you want the simplest possible daily-check-in flow with a community: Glippy.
Side-by-side
| My GLP Shot | Glippy | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Full tracking. Shots, weight, mood, appetite, level chart, mixing calculator, achievements, reminders. | Full free. Shot logging, daily check-ins (weight, calories, protein, water, side effects), community, trend charts, PDF/CSV export, HealthKit. |
| Paid tier | $19.99/year flat for premium (lab tracking, measurements, supply, doctor-share, sync). | None — fully free. |
| Community | None. Single-user app. | Yes. Moderated peer community is a core feature. |
| Account required | No. Default is local-only. | Yes (email only — no name, address, or phone). |
| Where data lives | On your device by default. Optional encrypted cloud sync. | In Glippy's cloud + on-device for HealthKit fields. |
| End-to-end encryption | Yes. AES-256-GCM with browser-side PBKDF2. | Not documented as end-to-end encrypted. |
| Source code | Open on GitHub. | Closed source. |
| Platforms | Web, iOS (Safari install), Android (Chrome install), desktop. One PWA. | iOS 15.1+ native, Android native. |
| Active-medication concentration chart | Yes. Configurable half-life. Peak/trough across cycle. | Trend charts on weight and other daily fields. Not a per-cycle level chart. |
| Mixing calculator | Yes. Vial mg + BAC water + dose → exact units, syringe-aware (U-100, U-40, tuberculin, custom). | Not documented. |
| Custom dosing schedules | Yes. Microdosing, split-dosing, bi-weekly, custom intervals. | Standard semaglutide / tirzepatide cadences. |
| Mood & appetite | Yes. | Daily side-effect logging. |
| Lab tracking | Premium. A1C, lipids, kidney panel, custom labs. | Not standard. |
| Body measurements | Premium. Waist, chest, hips, neck, arms, thighs. | Not standard. |
| Doctor share / PDF export | Premium. Encrypted 24h share + PDF. | PDF / CSV export available. |
| Supply / vial inventory | Premium. With cost-per-shot accounting. | Not standard. |
| Apple HealthKit sync | No. | Yes. |
| Achievements | 32 milestones with shareable PNG cards. | Not documented. |
| Tracking / advertising | None. Privacy policy explicitly forbids. | App Store privacy card lists usage / contact / diagnostics data "not linked to you." In-app community ad spots per third-party coverage. |
Free vs free: what's actually the trade-off
Both apps make a real free tier the front door, which is unusual in this category. The trade-off is what each one chose to deepen.
Glippy chose community. A moderated peer space inside the app is a genuine differentiator and not something we plan to build. The community is also part of how Glippy stays free — third-party coverage describes in-app community ad spots as the monetization model. That's a reasonable trade for users who value the social side.
My GLP Shot chose medication-side depth. The mixing calculator handles compounded peptides with arbitrary vial concentrations and BAC water volumes; the level chart estimates active medication across the dose cycle using a configurable half-life; custom dosing schedules support microdosing and split-dosing. On the premium tier ($19.99/year flat), you also get lab tracking, body measurements, supply inventory with per-shot cost, an encrypted doctor-share link, and a PDF report tuned for clinical appointments.
The privacy story
Glippy's privacy posture is unusually friendly for a cloud-based health app: email-only signup, no name or phone collected, App Store privacy card marks usage and diagnostics data as "not linked to you." That's a strong signal that they take user privacy seriously.
That said, the architecture is still cloud-based — your shot history sits in Glippy's database in a form they can read — and they don't document end-to-end encryption. My GLP Shot goes one step further by defaulting to local-only and using E2EE for any optional sync:
- Default mode: data lives in your browser only and never reaches a server.
- Optional sync: PBKDF2-SHA-256 (600,000 iterations) derives an AES-256-GCM key in your browser. Only ciphertext leaves your device.
- Server stores opaque ciphertext only; we have 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. - Open source — verifiable on GitHub.
When Glippy is the better choice
- You want a built-in moderated peer community as part of your daily routine.
- You want a single app for daily check-ins (weight, calories, protein, water, side effects).
- You're already in HealthKit and want native sync.
- You don't need lab tracking, mixing calculations, or a doctor-share PDF.
When My GLP Shot is the better choice
- You're on a compounded peptide and need a 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, end-to-end encrypted, open-source.
- You want one app that follows you across iOS, Android, and desktop browsers without an account.
- You don't want a community inside your tracker.
Migrating from Glippy
Glippy supports CSV / PDF export, which is the cleanest starting point. The CSV import path on My GLP Shot's side is on the roadmap; until then, manual entry with backdating works for most users — the app explicitly supports rebuilding 6- to 12-month histories quickly.
