The Glapp alternative for people who want food in the picture

It's lunchtime on day three after your shot. You're not hungry, which is sort of the point, but by mid-afternoon you feel flat and a bit lightheaded. Your tracker knows when you injected and where. It has no idea you've eaten half a yogurt since breakfast.

A quick note: this page is written by the team behind Holt. Glapp details come from its App Store page and website, checked on November 1, 2026.

Why do people look for a Glapp alternative?

Glapp is careful about the medication itself: dose, timing, site, a level curve and a running count of what's left in your vials. What people tend to miss is the other half of the week.

• Food, not just food tips. A food log isn't listed for Glapp; it offers nutrition and coaching tips that follow your shot cycle.
• Side effects tied to a dose. Glapp's daily check-in covers a lot, but people want to see how a symptom lines up with a specific shot day.
• Something to bring to the doctor. Glapp's progress reports come with its Max subscription and are weekly summaries.

Why people switch to Holt

Holt starts from your dose day and lines everything else up against it, including what you ate.

• Meals in one photo. Holt estimates calories, protein, fiber, carbs and fat from a picture of your plate. There's also a food log with search, recents, favorites, saved meals and custom foods.
• Goals you can see at a glance. The Home summary shows calories, protein, fiber, water and activity against your goals, so a quiet appetite doesn't quietly become too little protein.
• Side effects you can measure. Slide nausea, constipation, heartburn, food noise, appetite or fatigue to a severity, or add your own, right beside your dose days.
• A doctor-visit report. Holt turns 30 days, 90 days or your full history into a PDF, with suggested questions for your prescriber.
• Shot day on your lock screen. A Live Activity says "It's shot time", the treatment screen counts down to your next dose, and Otto suggests your next injection site. All in 15 languages, with widgets and Apple Health sync.

What changes when you switch?

You keep the shot-side basics: dose and site logging with reminders, an estimated medication-level chart and a suggested next injection site. Glapp has its own versions of these, so you're not giving up the medication view.

What changes is that food and side effects join the timeline. Every meal photo, protein total and severity rating sits next to your dose days, and it all feeds a report you can hand to your prescriber.

What you'd leave behind is Glapp's vial and pen supply tracking, its Apple Watch app, its Android and web access, and comparisons with clinical-trial data. Neither listing describes importing from the other app.

Stay with Glapp if…

You draw doses from a vial and the supply count is what you open the app for, or you want to log from an Apple Watch or on Android. Glapp's free core covers that well. If food is the part of the week you're missing, Holt is worth one dose cycle.

What we'd track in your first two weeks with Holt

1. A photo of most meals. It's the biggest thing Holt adds, so it's the fairest test.
2. Protein and fiber against your goals, especially on the two days after a shot.
3. Side effects with a severity. Even one slide on a rough day gives the timeline something to show.
4. Every dose and site, letting Otto suggest the next spot.
5. One doctor-visit report before your next appointment, compared with what you'd normally bring.

Try Holt for your next dose cycle

Whichever app you use, it records what you were prescribed and how you felt. Questions about the dose itself belong with your prescriber or pharmacist.
