The Best Free GLP-1 Tracker Apps for Android in 2026

TL;DR: Android GLP-1 users in 2026 have better free options than iPhone users in some ways. Shotsy is genuinely free for dose and side-effect logging. MyFitnessPal added GLP-1 Support to its free tier in April. And Health Connect quietly glues them together so you don't need one app to do everything. Here are seven Android-available trackers, what each does well, what each lies about, and the free stack that actually works.

If you're on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, or any of the GLP-1 medications that have flooded primary care since 2024, you've probably been told "just download a tracker." That advice is half-true on Android. The Play Store has dozens of apps with "GLP-1" in the name; most are tiny, paywalled within two screens, or built for iOS first and ported with shrugs.

This is the article we wish existed when we audited Android in May 2026. If you're on iPhone, read the iPhone version instead — the recommendations are different.

What "free" actually means on Google Play in 2026

There are three tiers, and you should know which one you're downloading before you tap install:

Truly free. Core dose, food, side-effect, and weight logging are usable forever. Tip-jar IAPs exist, but the essentials never paywall. Shotsy and MyFitnessPal's GLP-1 Support live here.
Freemium with a soft paywall. You get a useful free tier, but the GLP-1-specific module — the part you came for — is Premium. MyNetDiary's new GLP-1 Companion is this.
Subscription only, dressed as an app. Free download, but the first meaningful screen is a paywall. MeAgain and Calibrate live here.

None of these are scams. But "free Android GLP-1 tracker" results on Google return all three tiers mixed together. Knowing the tier before you commit save hours.

Watch out: "Gala" is not "Gila"

Before we get into the list — if you searched "Gila tracker" on the Play Store and found something called Gala GLP-1 Tracker (developer: galacoach), that is not us. It's an unrelated app with a confusingly similar name. Gila — the behavioral persistence companion we build — is iOS-first and in private Android pilot in 2026. We'll flag the timeline at the bottom of the piece. Don't install the wrong app.

The 7 free-or-freemium GLP-1 tracker apps worth knowing on Android

1. Shotsy — Free, the strongest dose-and-side-effect logger on Android

Rating: 4.5 stars on Google Play, 7,130 reviews, 100K+ downloads.
Free tier: Real. Dose schedule, dose history, side-effect logging, weight tracking, weekly summary. Tip-jar IAPs exist.
Strength: The dose flow is the cleanest of any free Android app — one tap to log your weekly shot, structured side-effect tagging (nausea, fatigue, constipation, mood) per dose.
Gap: Light food tracking. No habit/coaching layer. Health Connect weight sync only.
Best for: Anyone in their first 6 months of titration who needs to spot side-effect patterns.

2. MyFitnessPal — Free GLP-1 Support tier (launched April 2026)

Rating: 4.0+ stars, 5M+ reviews, 100M+ downloads.
Free tier: GLP-1 Support is included in the free tier — medication tracking, dose reminders, plus the massive food database MyFitnessPal is famous for. Side-effect logging launched on iOS first and is rolling to Android.
Strength: The food DB. Nothing else free on Android matches it for barcode scanning + restaurant items + protein-per-meal breakdown.
Gap: GLP-1 features feel bolted on rather than first-class. Premium ($19.99/mo) still gates the macro-balancing and meal-planning tools you'd actually want if you're chasing a protein target.
Best for: Anyone whose biggest GLP-1 question is "what did I actually eat today?"

3. MyNetDiary GLP-1 Companion — Free base, Premium GLP-1 module

Rating: 4.5+ stars, 100K+ reviews, 5M+ downloads.
Free tier: Solid free food log + weight tracker.
GLP-1 Companion module: Premium-only ($9.99/mo or $59.99/yr), launched May 5, 2026. Includes a protein-priority dashboard, digestive symptom logging, dose tracking, and integration with the existing food log.
Strength: The most protein-aware nutrition coach on Android. Day Events tracker lets you correlate symptoms to specific meals.
Gap: The GLP-1-specific part is paywalled.
Best for: Users who already use MyNetDiary and want to upgrade rather than learn a new app.

4. Pep — Free + IAP, AI photo-to-protein scanning

Downloads: 10K+, smaller user base but a real feature differentiator.
Free tier: Dose logging plus a chart of estimated medication levels over the week. AI food scan from photo is free-with-limits, paid for more.
Strength: The estimated-med-level chart is unique — it visualizes how your dose ramps up and trails off relative to your trough.
Gap: Smaller user base means fewer real-world reviews and food-DB depth.
Best for: Users who want to see their medication's pharmacokinetic curve.

5. Weightly — Mounjaro-focused free tracker

Rating: 4.2 stars, 591 reviews.
Free tier: Weight + dose logging, focused on Mounjaro users specifically.
Strength: Lightweight and fast — no onboarding survey, no food log.
Gap: Narrower than the rest; doesn't try to be a one-stop shop.
Best for: Mounjaro/Zepbound users who just want a clean weight + dose log and refuse to use a heavier app.

6. MeAgain — Subscription only (≈$10/mo) — included for context

This is not free, but it gets pitched as one on Google Play. The download is free; the first useful screen is a paywall at roughly $10/mo for the app and $30/mo for added care services. It's a polished all-in-one with a memorable capybara mascot and Health Connect support. We mention it so you don't waste 20 minutes installing and onboarding before discovering the price.

7. The long tail (GLPer, ShotTrack, GLPeak, GlowAgain, Shotwise, Glia, GLP Diet, Glapp)

Each has 1K-10K downloads and a sliver of a niche. None has the polish, food DB, or active development of the top four. Skip unless you're trying a specific feature one of them advertises (e.g., GLPer ships with 500+ GLP-1 recipes bundled).

Health Connect: the Android advantage iPhone users don't get

Health Connect is Google's central health-data store on Android — it's the equivalent of HealthKit on iOS, but newer and more open. Apps can read and write to it, which means you can log your weight in MyFitnessPal, see it in Samsung Health, and have it pulled into Shotsy's weekly summary — all without any single app having to do everything.

As of May 2026:

Reads/writes Health Connect: MyFitnessPal, MyNetDiary, MeAgain.
Partial integration (weight only): Shotsy.
Doesn't yet: Pep, Weightly, the long-tail.

This is why the Android free stack below works: you don't need one app to do everything. You let Health Connect carry weight + steps + sleep between apps and pick the best free tool for each layer.

The free Android stack that actually works in 2026

This is the combination we recommend after testing all seven on a Pixel 8a running Android 15:

Layer	App	Why
Dose + side effects	Shotsy (free)	Best dedicated dose logger; structured side-effect logging
Food + protein	MyFitnessPal — GLP-1 Support (free)	Massive food DB + barcode scan + free meds module
Weight + steps	Samsung Health or Google Fit (free)	Whichever your phone defaults to — both push to Health Connect
Sync glue	Health Connect (system)	Stitches weight + sleep + activity across the apps above

You can run this stack for $0/month and have more usable data than 80% of GLP-1 users on iPhone. The gap this stack does not fill is habit-building and behavioral coaching — none of the free apps do this well, and that's the layer we're building Gila for.

How to score a GLP-1 tracker app for yourself

The five criteria that matter, in priority order:

Dose-tracking depth: Does it log the medication and dose strength separately, with side-effect tagging per dose?
Food-tracking quality: Real food DB (1M+ items) and barcode scanner, or hand-entry only?
Side-effect logging: Structured (predefined symptoms) or freeform notes? Can you correlate symptoms to dose week and food?
Health Connect integration: Reads + writes, or read-only, or none?
Paywall honesty: What's truly free vs gated? Read the Play Store screenshots, not the title.

Apps that score 4/5 in this rubric: Shotsy, MyFitnessPal GLP-1 Support, MyNetDiary (if you pay for Premium). Everything else has a real gap.

A note on Gila

Gila is iOS-first. Our Android build is in private pilot in 2026 — we're not on Google Play yet. We won't pretend otherwise to get a click. The free stack above is what we recommend to Android GLP-1 users right now.

When Gila does ship to Android, the layer we add on top of the stack is the one no free tracker handles well: a habit engine tuned to GLP-1 phases (titration / maintenance / discontinuation), identity-first coaching that treats you as a person building a new normal, not a body chasing a target weight. That's the gap. Join the waitlist if that's the layer you've been waiting for.

Key takeaways

Shotsy is the strongest truly-free GLP-1 tracker on Android — 4.5 stars, 7K reviews, 100K+ downloads, all core dose and side-effect features free forever.
MyFitnessPal's GLP-1 Support tier (launched April 2026) is the second-strongest free option, especially if food tracking is your priority.
Health Connect is the Android free-stack advantage — let it carry data between apps instead of trying to find one app that does everything.
MyNetDiary's GLP-1 Companion is paywalled ($9.99/mo) — worth it if you're already a MyNetDiary user, skip otherwise.
MeAgain looks free in the Play Store but isn't — paywall hits after onboarding at ~$10/mo.
Gila is iOS-first; Android is in private pilot — the free stack above is what we recommend right now.

Find the right tool, not the loudest marketing

The GLP-1 app market is loud. Most apps are racing to add "AI" badges and capybara mascots. The right tool is the one you'll actually open every day for the first six months — the period when titration questions, side-effect patterns, and protein targets matter most. Use our broader comparison if you want all platforms side by side, or run the readiness check to see which behavioral layer you'd benefit from before installing anything.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a completely free GLP-1 tracker app for Android? Yes. Shotsy (free for all dose and side-effect features) and MyFitnessPal (free GLP-1 Support tier) are the two strongest truly-free options on Google Play in 2026.

Can I sync GLP-1 weight and food data with Samsung Health or Google Fit? Yes — through Health Connect. MyFitnessPal, MyNetDiary, and MeAgain all read/write to Health Connect, which means data flows freely to Samsung Health, Google Fit, and other Android health apps. Shotsy syncs weight only.

Is Shotsy actually free or does the paywall hit eventually? All core dose, side-effect, weight, and nutrition tracking remain free as of May 2026. The in-app purchases are tip-jar/optional features, not gated essentials.

Is Gila available on Android? Not yet. Gila is iOS-first and Android is in private pilot in 2026. Use the apps in this guide on Android today; join the waitlist at gila.coach if you want the habit-companion layer when the Android build ships.

What's the best free Android app for tracking side effects, not just doses? Shotsy for structured per-dose side-effect logging. MyNetDiary's Day Events tracker is more powerful for symptom-to-food correlation but the GLP-1 Companion module is Premium-only.

Do I need a paid app, or is the free Android stack enough? For most users in the first 3-6 months: Shotsy + MyFitnessPal GLP-1 Support + Health Connect is enough. Pay only when you outgrow the free stack — usually around the habit and behavioral-coaching layer, which no free app handles well on Android yet.
