Free Alternative to Shotsy: GLP-1 Tracking Plus Food, On Any Device
Shotsy is a focused GLP-1 dose tracker — but it's iOS-only, charges for its full features, and is light on food and macro tracking. Healthcount tracks doses, symptoms, weight and macros together, free, on any device with a browser.
Healthcount is a free alternative to Shotsy that tracks GLP-1 doses and symptoms plus full food/macro logging, weight trends and progress photos — on web, iPhone and Android.

GLP-1 tracking shouldn't mean choosing between your medication and your food
Shotsy does one thing well — logging injections — but a GLP-1 journey is more than doses. What you eat (especially protein and fibre), your weight trend, and your side effects all move together, and seeing them in one place is what helps you stay on track.
Being iOS-only also leaves out a large share of UK users on Android, and anyone who'd rather log from a laptop. Healthcount runs in any browser, so you can switch between phone and desktop freely.
Healthcount combines dose tracking, symptom logging, weight trends, progress photos and full food/macro logging — free, UK-built, and GDPR-compliant.
Features Shotsydoesn't have
These are the features that make Healthcount different — and they're all free.
AI meal photo analysis
Snap a photo of your meal for instant calorie and macro estimates.
Healthcount's AI vision analyses your meal photo and returns estimated calories, protein, carbs, fats and fibre. No searching databases — take a photo and confirm.
GLP-1 dose tracking
Log your Mounjaro, Wegovy or Saxenda dose in seconds.
Track every injection with date, dose strength and brand. Healthcount supports the UK dose ladders, calculates your next dose, estimates supply and sends reorder reminders.
Symptom & side-effect logging
Track 11 common GLP-1 side effects with severity ratings.
Log nausea, appetite changes, headaches, injection-site pain and more, each with severity and time of day. Heatmaps reveal patterns over time.
Progress photos & measurements
Before/after photo comparisons with 7-point body measurements.
Upload dated progress photos and compare earliest vs latest side by side. Track measurements the scales don't show. All included in your data export.
Period tracking
Cycle logging with phase predictions and ovulation estimates.
Log periods and Healthcount predicts your cycle and phases, overlaid on your medication schedule and trends to spot cycle-related patterns.
AI daily coaching
Personalised daily feedback based on your actual data.
Each day the AI reviews your food, exercise, weight trends and adherence across 7, 30 and 90-day windows and gives three short, supportive coaching points.
