App review
Shotsy app review: how it compares with Tinsy
Shotsy is a GLP-1 tracker built around doses, medication levels and charts. We make Tinsy, so this is a comparison by an interested party, and every claim about Shotsy comes from its own pages.
What the Shotsy app does
From Shotsy's own App Store page and site, where it calls itself an all-in-one GLP-1 medication tracker for injections and pills.
Scheduling and reminders
Schedules for weekly injections or daily oral doses, with countdowns, reminders and next-dose notifications. Its site also lists dose planning, to plan titration and schedules that match your treatment.
Estimated medication levels
Charts of your estimated medication level over time, which Shotsy says draw on peer-reviewed clinical data, plus charts for weight, side effects and nutrition.
Side effects, weight and nutrition
Tracks side effects, weight, calories, protein and water. Its site says you can associate a side effect with a dose, an injection site, nutrition or hydration, and that it suggests the next injection site.
Apple Health and exports
Imports weight, calories, protein and water from Apple Health. Its site lists a PDF export for your care team; release notes mention CSV export.
Platforms and privacy
On the App Store for iPhone (its store page: "Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS."), in 17 languages, and on Google Play per its site. See Shotsy's privacy information on its App Store page.
Shotsy vs Tinsy, side by side
Where the two overlap and where they differ, with no winner declared: which suits you depends on what you want the app to do.
Logging doses
Both log injections and daily pills, with reminders. Shotsy handles several medications at once. Tinsy offers weekly, every N days, split and custom dose-change schedules, free.
Planning doses
Shotsy lists dose planning for titration on its site. Tinsy never calculates or recommends doses: you enter the plan your prescriber gave you, and Tinsy reminds and records.
Injection sites
Both suggest the next injection site. Shotsy uses a visual rotation map. Tinsy has a body map that remembers your last spot and suggests the next one, and it is free.
Medication level
Both chart an estimated medication level over time. In Tinsy that chart is part of Tinsy Plus. In both apps it is an estimate for self-observation, not a measurement.
Food
Shotsy tracks calories, protein and water. Tinsy has no food database and no barcode scanning: it has protein, water and fiber goals, in Tinsy Plus.
For your appointment
Both make a PDF for your doctor. Tinsy's doctor report covers your whole treatment history, in Tinsy Plus.
Storage
See our Privacy Policy.
Platforms
Shotsy is on iPhone and, per its site, Android. Tinsy is on the App Store only, and there is no Android version.
What Tinsy does, and what is free
Tinsy is a GLP-1 shot and pill diary for weekly injections and daily tablets. The dose diary is free forever. Tinsy Plus is a paid subscription, billed monthly or yearly, that adds the layers on top.
The dose diary
Shots and pills logging, dose reminders, the body map, calendar and history, and a home screen widget with your next dose. Free, with no end date, and an owl for company.
Body, symptoms and nutrition Plus
Weight and body measurements as a trend, side effects with severity levels next to your dose, and protein, water and fiber goals.
Charts, cycle and Apple Health Plus
Charts and trends, including your estimated medication level over time, a cycle marker for those who want it, and Apple Health sync.
The doctor report Plus
A PDF with your whole treatment history, ready to share with your doctor at your next appointment.
Who each app is for
Both are trackers. Tinsy never plans or changes a dose: your prescriber sets and adjusts it.

Shotsy, if you want data and several medications
If you track more than one medication at once, want calories in the picture, or want the app on Android, those are things Shotsy lists and Tinsy's store page does not.
- 2
Tinsy, if you want a free, quiet dose diary
If you want shots or pills, reminders, site rotation and history free for good, with no account, and charts and the doctor report as optional Tinsy Plus, that is Tinsy.
