Medication Tracking
Shotsy Alternatives: GLP-1 Trackers
Shotsy alternatives for GLP-1 and injectable medication tracking. Why users leave Shotsy, and which apps support peptides, TRT, and broader injection protocols.
On this page
Shotsy built a good product for a specific problem: tracking GLP-1 injections. If you're on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound and that's the extent of your injectable regimen, Shotsy does the job with minimal friction. Weekly scheduling, titration tracking, weight logging, side effect notes — it's focused and it works.
The constraint is in the name: it's a GLP-1 tracker, not an injection tracker. The moment your regimen adds testosterone replacement therapy, peptides like BPC-157 or TB-500, or any non-GLP-1 injectable, Shotsy can't follow you there. You're either running two apps in parallel or looking for something with broader support.
What Shotsy Does Well
Credit where it's due. Shotsy got several things right:
GLP-1-specific onboarding. You select your medication (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound), your current dose, and where you are in the titration schedule. The app builds your tracking interface around that specific drug's protocol. This is more user-friendly than a generic medication tracker that requires manual configuration.
Titration timeline. Shotsy visualizes where you are in the dose escalation schedule, which is valuable during the months-long ramp-up that GLP-1 medications require. You can see at a glance how long you've been at your current dose and when the next increase is expected.
Weight trend tracking. Weight logging is built into the same interface as dose tracking, so you can see the correlation between titration steps and weight changes over time. This is the data your prescriber wants at every follow-up.
Side effect logging during escalation. The app prompts you to note side effects, particularly GI symptoms, which are the most common issue during GLP-1 titration. Having this data alongside your dose timeline is useful for provider conversations about whether to advance, hold, or reduce.
Simple, focused interface. Shotsy doesn't try to do everything. The result is a clean experience that's easy to learn and fast to use. If GLP-1 tracking is all you need, the simplicity is a feature, not a limitation.
Where Shotsy Hits Its Ceiling
GLP-1 Only
This is the fundamental constraint. Shotsy supports semaglutide and tirzepatide products. It does not support:
- Testosterone cypionate or enanthate (TRT)
- BPC-157, TB-500, or other research peptides
- Insulin (for patients on both insulin and GLP-1)
- Methotrexate, adalimumab, or other non-GLP-1 injectables
- Oral medications alongside injectables
If your medication list has more than one category on it, Shotsy covers one slice and leaves the rest untracked.
No Peptide or TRT Features
Even if Shotsy expanded its medication list, the underlying feature set isn't built for peptide or TRT workflows. There's no reconstitution calculator, no mg-to-mL dose conversion, no split-dose scheduling (twice-weekly injections), and no cycle management (on/off periods). These aren't features you can bolt onto a GLP-1 tracker — they require different design assumptions.
Limited Site Rotation
Shotsy includes basic injection site tracking, but it doesn't offer the same level of body map visualization and rotation history that dedicated injection trackers provide. For weekly GLP-1 injections, basic tracking may be sufficient. For users who also rotate TRT intramuscular injection sites or daily peptide subcutaneous sites, more granular rotation tracking matters.
No Caregiver or Provider Sharing
Shotsy is a personal tracking tool without robust sharing features. If a caregiver administers your injections, or if you want to share your tracking data with your prescriber, you'll need to screenshot or manually relay the information.
The Alternatives
DoneDose
Focus: Injectable medication tracking across all categories — GLP-1, TRT, peptides, and mixed regimens.
Why people switch from Shotsy: DoneDose supports everything Shotsy does for GLP-1 tracking and extends to TRT, peptides, and multi-medication regimens. The body map injection site tracking with full rotation history is the standout feature that Shotsy lacks in equivalent depth.
Key features:
- Visual body map for injection site tracking and rotation
- Native support for GLP-1 weekly scheduling with titration tracking
- TRT split-dose scheduling (e.g., every 3.5 days)
- Multi-medication tracking in a single interface
- Side effect logging correlated with dose changes
- Caregiver sharing
Where Shotsy beats it: Shotsy's GLP-1-specific onboarding is more streamlined than DoneDose's more general setup process. If you're on a single GLP-1 and want the fastest path to tracking, Shotsy gets you there in fewer taps.
Best for: Users on GLP-1 medications who also take or may soon start TRT, peptides, or other injectables and want a single app for all of it.
Pep
Focus: Peptide and injection logging.
Why people switch from Shotsy: Pep supports a broader range of injectable compounds than Shotsy, including research peptides and hormone therapies. It's designed for the self-administered injection community rather than specifically GLP-1 patients.
Key features:
- Multi-compound injection logging
- Basic dose tracking and scheduling
- Notes and tagging system for protocol documentation
- Lightweight design
Limitations: Smaller development team and user base. Fewer polished features than either Shotsy or DoneDose. The interface prioritizes flexibility over guided onboarding — you configure everything manually.
Best for: Users who want a simple, flexible injection log that works across any injectable compound without a lot of onboarding overhead.
GLPeak
Focus: GLP-1 weight management tracking with health data integration.
Why people consider it: GLPeak connects GLP-1 medication tracking with broader health metrics — Apple Health integration, activity data, sleep patterns. The idea is correlating your medication with lifestyle factors that affect outcomes.
Key features:
- GLP-1 dose tracking with titration timeline
- Apple Health / Google Fit integration
- Nutrition and activity logging alongside medication data
- Progress photo timeline
Limitations: Like Shotsy, it's GLP-1-focused and doesn't support TRT or peptides. The broader health tracking features are useful but can make the app feel bloated if all you want is medication tracking. Feature depth in medication tracking itself is shallower than DoneDose.
Best for: GLP-1 patients who want a holistic health dashboard that includes medication tracking as one component, rather than a dedicated injection tracker.
Glapp
Focus: GLP-1 community and tracking.
Why people consider it: Glapp combines GLP-1 medication tracking with a community component — forums, shared experiences, and peer support during the GLP-1 journey. The social element differentiates it from pure tracking tools.
Key features:
- GLP-1 dose and weight tracking
- Community discussion boards
- Shared treatment timelines
- Pharmacy and savings resources
Limitations: The community features mean more noise in the interface if you just want to track your injections and leave. Not suitable for non-GLP-1 medications. Privacy considerations with shared health data in a community context.
Best for: GLP-1 patients who value peer support and community engagement alongside their medication tracking.

How to Decide
Stay with Shotsy if: You're on one GLP-1 medication, that's your only injectable, and you don't anticipate adding TRT or peptides. Shotsy does this job well and its simplicity is genuinely pleasant to use daily.
Switch to DoneDose if: Your regimen includes or will include non-GLP-1 injectables (TRT, peptides, insulin), or you want stronger injection site rotation tracking. DoneDose handles the GLP-1 tracking Shotsy provides and extends to everything else.
Consider Pep if: You want a lightweight, flexible log that works across any injectable without being locked into a specific medication category.
Consider GLPeak if: You want your GLP-1 tracking embedded in a broader health and wellness dashboard with Apple Health integration.
Consider Glapp if: Community support and shared experiences are as important to you as the tracking itself.
The Expansion Problem
Here's the pattern we see repeatedly: someone starts a GLP-1 medication and downloads Shotsy. It works perfectly. Six months later, they add TRT because their prescriber identified low testosterone — which is not uncommon during significant weight loss. Now they need to track a weekly GLP-1 injection and a twice-weekly testosterone injection with separate site rotation requirements. Shotsy tracks the first but not the second.
Or: someone on a GLP-1 starts a BPC-157 cycle for a tendon issue. Now they're doing one weekly injection and one or two daily injections, each with different sites, doses, and tracking needs.
The question isn't whether Shotsy is good at what it does — it is. The question is whether your regimen today is the same regimen you'll have in six months. If there's any chance it expands beyond GLP-1, starting with a tracker that can grow with you saves a data migration headache later.
