GlowBack: GLP-1 Tracker

What GlowBack tracks and who it is for

GlowBack is a tracker for people on a GLP-1 medication who want their doses, food, weight and side effects in one place rather than across a notes app, a food diary and a scale app. Its main screen shows the things you check each day: current weight, goal weight, how many pounds are left to the goal, and an estimated goal date.

The app is built around the medication itself. It names more than 30 GLP-1 and related drugs, covering semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide and others, along with many brand names. It also accepts compounded versions, oral options and custom medications you enter yourself.

Logging doses, reminders and injection sites

The dose tracker records injections or pills with the amount, date, time and injection site. It shows your last dose and the next one, with a countdown, so you can see at a glance when the next shot is due.

A Shot Day checklist and reminders are there to keep the routine consistent. The injection-site record is meant to help you rotate sites and see which ones you have used recently.

Medication-level trends can be viewed across 3 days, 30 days, 90 days or one year. The developer says these are informational estimates calculated from your own logs, not dosing guidance.

Matching side effects against medication levels

You can log how you feel and rate the severity of each symptom. Those entries appear alongside the medication-level timeline, so you can see whether a symptom lines up with a particular point in your dosing.

The developer presents this as a way to spot patterns to raise with your healthcare professional. It does not interpret the entries for you.

Food logging with photos, barcodes and labels

Meals can be logged three ways: a photo of the meal, a scanned barcode, or a scan of the nutrition label. Each entry gives calories, protein and fiber.

Protein, fiber and water each have a daily goal, and the day's progress toward each is shown on the dashboard. Water is logged in the same place as food, so hydration sits next to what you ate.

Weight charts and a progress photo timeline

The weight chart plots your start, current and goal weights. You can switch between 30-day, 3-month, 6-month and all-time views, and the same screen shows weight change and BMI.

Progress photos are kept as a dated timeline, which you can browse in Timeline or Album view. The app counts journey days and photos, totals your weight change, and lets you compare a before photo with a recent one. These photos are stored with your weight history rather than separately.

Home-screen widgets for daily goals

Widgets for protein, water, fiber and activity can sit on your home screen, so the daily numbers are visible without opening the app. The Shot Day card, reminders, checklist and streak cues are also meant to keep the routine in view.

Everything the app records feeds one timeline covering medication, symptoms, food, hydration, weight and photos.

What GlowBack does not do

GlowBack describes itself as a personal tracking and organisation tool. It does not give medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The developer asks users to follow their qualified healthcare professional's instructions on dosing and side effects, and to contact them with any concerns.
