OffGrid Dose may be worth considering for iPhone and iPad users who value its documented no-account model, eight-zone injection map, dose-marked charts, local reminders, and on-device progress photos. Current access options are shown in the App Store. If you need Android support or nutrition and habit tracking, another documented workflow may fit better.
Here is a straightforward breakdown of what you get, what you do not get, and who should consider alternatives.
What You Get in the App
OffGrid Dose is a free download with in-app purchase options. The feature set includes injection-site history, dose-change markers, weight charts, side-effect tracking, progress photos, local reminders, calendar notes, and PDF export.
Privacy That Is Actually Private
OffGrid Dose stores its working data on your device. There is no OffGrid Dose app account, name or email field for an app account, company cloud-sync service, or server-side health database. You download the app and start tracking immediately. OffGrid Dose does not receive your injection records, weight data, progress photos, or side-effect logs through a sync service; its subscription and ATT-authorized advertising measurement never include those records. Depending on Apple and device settings, an encrypted device backup may include app data.
This is an architectural claim: the app has no company-operated health-data server to send records to. If OffGrid Dose the company were compromised, there would be no server-side user-health database to steal. Apple-managed encrypted device backups are separate and depend on user settings.
8-Zone Injection Site Rotation
The visual body map divides logged injection areas into 8 color-coded zones. The colors summarize logged site history and recency only. The map does not determine tissue readiness, safety, absorption, or effectiveness, and the app does not recommend an injection site.
Use the map as an organizational history while inspecting the actual skin and following the exact product instructions and clinician guidance. The competitor materials reviewed did not document an equivalent eight-zone status map.
Dose-Marked Weight Charts
Every dose change is marked on your weight trend line. When you titrate from 0.25mg to 0.5mg, or from 1.0mg to 2.0mg, the adjustment appears as a dated marker alongside later weight entries. Side effects are displayed on the same timeline. The chart preserves the sequence you recorded; it does not establish causation.
This creates an organizational record you can choose to show a healthcare provider at appointments: dated dose levels, reported side effects, and weight entries displayed on one timeline. A clinician, not the chart, interprets what those entries mean.
On-Device Progress Photos
The comparison slider lets you view before-and-after photos side by side. Photos are stored in the app's on-device database and are not uploaded to an OffGrid Dose server. For many users, progress photos are the most sensitive data they generate during their GLP-1 journey — OffGrid Dose keeps them out of a company-operated health database.
Medication-Specific Titration Schedules
Built-in dose schedules for Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, and custom medications. The app knows the standard titration steps for each medication and tracks your progress through them.
15-Second Daily Check-Ins
The tracking flow is designed to take 10 seconds. Log your injection, note any side effects, record your weight. No account screens, no sync delays, no unnecessary steps.
What You Do Not Get
Honesty about limitations matters more than feature lists:
- No Android support. OffGrid Dose is for iPhone and iPad. If you use an Android phone, look at Shotsy or Pep.
- No nutrition tracking. The app does not track calories, protein, water, or dietary information. If this is important, Shotsy integrates with Apple Health for nutrition data.
- No nutrition or movement tracking. OffGrid Dose stays focused on injections, weight, side effects, and progress photos. Pep combines medication logs with meals, movement, symptoms, and habits.
- No oral GLP-1 support. OffGrid Dose is designed for injectable GLP-1 medications. If you take the Wegovy pill, Shotsy supports oral tracking.
- No web interface. OffGrid Dose does not provide web access or company-operated cross-device sync.
- No permanent free access. After the free trial (1 month on annual, 3 days on weekly), a subscription is required. Glapp and Shotsy currently list free downloads with in-app purchases; check their storefronts for feature gating.
Access in Context
OffGrid Dose's current access options are shown by Apple, so compare the value of the features you expect to use rather than relying on an old storefront summary.
Compared with other GLP-1 trackers, Shotsy, Glapp, and GLPeak offer in-app purchases. Glapp's current publisher materials advertise smart rotation, side effects, medication-level estimates, reports, and account sync across iPhone, Android, and Web. Check each storefront because feature gating and pricing can vary by platform and region.
The value question is not really "what does the app cost?" — it is "do I need the features a dedicated GLP-1 tracker provides, or can I get by with basic logging?" For anyone who wants an organized medication record, the answer depends on the workflow and privacy model that fit best.
Who Should Buy OffGrid Dose
- Privacy-conscious users who do not want their medication data on cloud servers
- Long-term GLP-1 users who want detailed rotation records to help avoid repeated same-site use
- Users who want dose-change markers displayed on weight charts
- People who track progress photos and want them to stay completely private
- Anyone titrating through multiple dose levels who wants clear before-and-after comparisons at each step
Who Should Consider Alternatives
- Android users — OffGrid Dose is for iPhone and iPad. Try Shotsy or Pep.
- Users who want nutrition tracking — Shotsy integrates with Apple Health for calories, protein, and water.
- Users who want broader daily logs — Pep includes nutrition, movement, symptoms, and habits.
- Users who need a free download — Glapp is a free download with in-app purchases; check its current storefront for feature gating.
- Oral GLP-1 users — Shotsy supports the Wegovy pill.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is OffGrid Dose free?
OffGrid Dose is a free download with in-app purchase options. Apple shows the current access terms in the App Store and in the app. The value depends on whether its focused injection, weight, symptom, privacy, reminder, and export workflow fits your needs.
Can I try OffGrid Dose before paying?
Download the app and review the current access terms shown by Apple before confirming a purchase. You can start by examining whether the core tracking workflow fits your routine.
Is is this access option worthwhile for a GLP-1 tracker?
OffGrid Dose uses the annual access option. Shotsy, Glapp, and GLPeak offer in-app purchases whose current pricing and feature gating should be checked in the applicable storefront.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Canceling does not make OffGrid Dose upload or delete your local working data. Your tracking history remains in the app's on-device database unless you remove it; an Apple-managed device backup may include app data depending on your settings.
Is OffGrid Dose better than tracking in a spreadsheet?
For basic injection logging, a spreadsheet works. For injection site rotation with visual zone tracking, dose-marked weight timelines, reported side effects, and private progress photos — a dedicated tracker provides capabilities that can be cumbersome to replicate manually, especially over months of treatment.
Key Takeaways

- It is not the right choice for Android users or people who want nutrition, movement, and habit tracking in the same app
- The App Store and in-app access screens show the current terms before you commit
