Jabalog vs Shotsy, Glapp, MeAgain & Pep

Most GLP-1 trackers are subscriptions that want an account and your data in the cloud. Jabalog is a private shot journal for iPhone and iPad: log what you took, set a reminder you choose, and keep your whole history on your device. One purchase, no subscription.

Free for 15 days, then $9.99 once. No subscription, nothing to cancel.

Buy it once

A single $9.99 purchase, not a monthly bill. The others here charge around $10 every month, roughly $120 a year, for as long as you keep logging.

Custom doses

Record tirzepatide or semaglutide by active ingredient, or type in a custom dose amount you and your doctor have agreed on. You log exactly what you took.

Reminders you set

Choose your own dosing interval in days. After you log a shot, Jabalog schedules one reminder for the time you picked, with no recurrence or guesswork.

Private by default

No account, no Jabalog server, and no analytics. Your entries stay on your device, and sync, if you turn it on, runs through your own private iCloud.

Export to PDF

Pick a date range and what to include (shots, side effects, weights), and Jabalog makes a plain PDF to share, for example with your doctor.

Last updated July 2026. Jabalog is a one-time $9.99 (US) after a free 15-day trial. Pay once and it's yours. The others are recurring subscriptions at around $10 a month, roughly $120 every year; Shotsy, Glapp and Pep also offer a limited free tier and cheaper annual plans. Prices are from the US App Store and vary by region and over time. “Not confirmed” means we could not verify a feature from public materials, not that it is missing.

How Jabalog compares to each app

Every one of these is a capable app. Here's what each does well, and where Jabalog differs, based on each app's public information at the time of writing.

Jabalog vs Shotsy

What Shotsy does well

A well-reviewed, actively developed app on both iPhone and Android, with a genuinely free core tier and PDF export to share with a clinician.

Where Jabalog differs

Jabalog is a one-time $9.99 rather than a subscription, asks for no account, and runs no analytics. It also adds a read-only Apple Watch next-shot countdown that Shotsy does not list. On iOS, both keep your data in your own private iCloud.

Jabalog vs Glapp

What Glapp does well

The widest reach here: iPhone, Apple Watch, Android and web, with cloud sync across devices and the richest feature set, including educational guidance.

Where Jabalog differs

Jabalog is deliberately a plain journal with no comparisons, predictions or coaching, no required account, and a one-time $9.99. Your entries stay on your iPhone or iPad by default rather than in a cloud account tied to your name and email.

Jabalog vs MeAgain

What MeAgain does well

A broad all-in-one companion with detailed side-effect tracking, food and macro logging, progress photos and Apple Health sync, on iPhone and Android.

Where Jabalog differs

Jabalog asks for no account and keeps entries on your iPhone or iPad, while MeAgain requires an account and stores data in the cloud with third-party providers. Jabalog is a one-time $9.99, includes an Apple Watch countdown, and has no AI features.

Jabalog vs Pep

What Pep does well

An all-in-one tracker for injections and oral pills with broad medication coverage, customizable reminders, an AI food scanner, and a local-first approach for your entries.

Where Jabalog differs

Jabalog is a one-time $9.99 rather than a subscription, stays a focused medication journal without nutrition or AI features, and adds a read-only Apple Watch countdown. Its optional sync runs through your own private iCloud rather than a developer's servers.

Questions people ask

Common questions about choosing a GLP-1 shot tracker.

Is there a GLP-1 shot tracker without a subscription?

Yes. Jabalog is a one-time $9.99 on the App Store (US), after a free 15-day trial. Pay once and it's yours, with nothing to cancel. At the time of writing, Shotsy, Glapp, MeAgain and Pep are recurring subscriptions at around $10 a month, so their cost keeps adding up.

What is the best Shotsy alternative for iPhone?

It depends on what you want. Shotsy is a well-reviewed cross-platform app with a free tier. If you prefer a one-time purchase, no account, on-device data and an Apple Watch countdown, Jabalog is a focused alternative. It is a plain journal that records what you enter, with no AI or advice.

Which GLP-1 tracker keeps my data private and on-device?

Jabalog stores your entries on your iPhone or iPad by default, with optional sync through your own private iCloud. There is no Jabalog account, no Jabalog server and no in-app analytics. Some other apps reviewed here use cloud accounts, which at the time of writing means more data is held off your device.

Can I enter a custom dose instead of picking from a list?

Yes. Jabalog records tirzepatide and semaglutide by active ingredient and also accepts a custom dose amount you type in, handy if you and your doctor have agreed on a dose that is not one of the presets. Brand names like Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic and Wegovy appear only so you recognise your medication.

Can I set my own reminder interval between shots?

Yes. You enter a dosing interval in days that you choose, and after you log a shot Jabalog schedules one reminder for the time you picked. There is no recurrence, snooze or automatic adjustment, and you can turn reminders off by clearing the interval.

Does Jabalog have an Apple Watch app, and do the others?

Yes. Jabalog includes a read-only Apple Watch app and complications showing your next-shot countdown; you log shots on iPhone or iPad. At the time of writing, Glapp also ships an Apple Watch app, while Shotsy, MeAgain and Pep do not list one.

Does Jabalog use AI or give advice about my shots?

No. Jabalog is deliberately a plain journal. It records the medication, dose, injection site and time you enter, plus optional side effects and weight, and shows your history. It does not interpret your data, suggest doses or make predictions.

Can I export my shot history as a PDF for an appointment?

Yes. Jabalog lets you pick a date range and which categories to include (shots, side effects, weights), and generates a plain tabular and chart PDF to share, for example with your doctor. It adds no interpretation; it simply lays out what you recorded.

A journal you own, not a subscription

Log your shots, set your own reminders, and keep your whole history on your iPhone or iPad. Download Jabalog and try it free for 15 days.
