Poky alternatives: an honest comparison
Stay with Poky if you want a deliberately calm, minimal shot log and are happy with its subscription. It holds 4.64★ across 11 ratings, which is real evidence that the fundamentals work. Look elsewhere if you reconstitute vials, want AI food scanning with GLP-1-specific verdicts, or want estimated levels and the injection map without paying.
When to stay with Poky
A calm, minimal GLP-1 and peptide shot log with medication-level curves and injection-site rotation. Its own listing states a subscription is required to use the app. Switching trackers means leaving your dose history behind, so a small feature gap is rarely worth it. The reasons that genuinely justify a move are structural: your medication does not fit the app's model, or a capability you need every week simply is not there.
When another app fits better
- You reconstitute vials. Poky is built around pens. Bo logs vial-based peptides alongside your GLP-1 (it does not calculate doses), and PeptidePal, Pep AI, Regimen and OptiPin advertise calculators.
- You take peptides alongside a GLP-1. GLP-1-first apps are built around one branded medication; peptide-first apps expect several compounds on different schedules.
- You want to pay nothing. Injectly and Glippy advertise no in-app purchases at all.
- You want sourced estimated levels. Bo publishes the half-life and time-to-peak behind every curve with a link to the FDA label or study, and marks where human data is limited. See the chart.
The comparison
A checkmark means the feature is advertised by the developer; a dash means it is not advertised, which is not proof of absence.

About Bo
Bo is my app, so here is the honest shape of it: it is built for people logging vial-based peptides or a GLP-1 who also want food and weight in one place, it has free estimated levels, it does not calculate doses, and it has no cloud sync and no Android version. If either of those is a dealbreaker, Poky or one of the others above is the better choice, and I would rather say so than have you find out after switching.
