Zepbound tracker app: track shots, pens, and vials

For planning and record-keeping only — not medical advice. Your dose and schedule are set by your prescriber.

KeepAlong is a GLP-1 shot tracker app that works with Zepbound — pens and vials alike. Log each weekly tirzepatide shot, get a reminder on injection day, and keep dose, injection site, and weight trend in one history. The one thing vials add — syringe-units math — is covered by a free calculator below.

KeepAlong — GLP-1 shot tracker & planning tools

Log Zepbound pens and vial doses in the same history, get shot-day reminders and a home-screen countdown widget, and let weight sync in from Apple Health or Health Connect — the trend Zepbound is prescribed for, right next to your shots.

The app is launching soon. The web tools on this site are free — no sign-up needed.

What's specific about tracking Zepbound

Zepbound is tirzepatide — the same dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist as Mounjaro — FDA-approved in 2023 for chronic weight management. Two label facts shape the log: the six-step ladder and the four container formats it ships in. Everything here is from the Zepbound prescribing information (checked 2026-08-18).

The ladder is 2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15 mg with a minimum of 4 weeks per step. The label carries two indications, and the maintenance doses differ between them: 5, 10, or 15 mg once weekly for weight reduction, and 10 or 15 mg for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea in adults with obesity. Which one you were prescribed for is worth a line in the log, because it sets where the ladder stops. Storage matches its sibling and follows the container: a single-dose pen or vial keeps 21 days out of the fridge at up to 86°F (30°C), while a multi-dose vial or KwikPen runs 30 days. The tracking fork is the format:

Pens: single-dose and KwikPen

  • Single-dose pen, 2.5–15 mg, one per shot
  • KwikPen holds four fixed weekly doses
  • The device sets the dose — nothing to measure
  • KwikPen needles are not included in the carton

Vials: single-dose and multi-dose

  • Single-dose vial in all six strengths, 2.5–15 mg
  • Multi-dose vial holds four doses, 10–60 mg/2.4 mL
  • The syringe and needle are not included
  • Log entry adds one field: units drawn

If you're on vials, the free units calculator does the mg-to-syringe-units conversion in your browser — no sign-up, result immediately. The type 2 diabetes case is Mounjaro tracker territory — same molecule, approved in 2022 for type 2 diabetes, supplied in those same four formats. For the brand-agnostic view of the molecule, see the tirzepatide tracker page.

Set up the log for Zepbound

Start with the calendar. The titration date planner converts your first-injection date into the earliest label date for each of the six steps — those dates, corrected by whatever your prescriber actually schedules, are what KeepAlong turns into shot-day reminders and a countdown widget. The tirzepatide dosage chart lists all six strengths alongside the vial sizes.

Weight deserves a real column here more than anywhere: weight reduction is the first indication on the label, so the trend line is the outcome it is measured against. KeepAlong pulls it from Apple Health or Health Connect instead of asking you to type it, and what to track on GLP-1 covers what else earns a place in the log. Rotation and storage round it out — the injection sites guide for where the shot goes, the fridge timer for any pen or vial that leaves the fridge with its 21- or 30-day window running.

Still comparing? The best GLP-1 tracker apps comparison is honest about when a recurring calendar event beats installing anything.

Frequently asked questions

Do Zepbound pens and vials need different tracking?

Zepbound pens and vials differ by one log field. A pen sets its own dose, so the entry is dose, date, and site; a vial adds the syringe draw, so units sit alongside milligrams. Weekly rhythm and 4-week step minimums are identical. Out-of-fridge windows are not: 21 days for single-dose formats, 30 days for multi-dose.

Can I use the same tracker if I switch between Mounjaro and Zepbound?

Yes, as a record: one log holds both, so your history stays continuous. Write the product name in the entry where it changes, since the indications differ and so does the insurance paperwork. What the new prescription says is set by your prescriber — the log follows that decision, it does not make it.

Why is the app called KeepAlong and not Zepbound Tracker?

Because Zepbound is Eli Lilly’s trademark. Apps named after someone else’s drug are borrowing a brand they don’t own; KeepAlong is independent and simply works with Zepbound, the way a calendar works with your appointments. Your medication’s name lives inside your log, not in the app’s title.

When is a Zepbound tracker unnecessary?

If you’re on a steady maintenance pen, inject the same weekday, and your weight notes live somewhere you already look, a recurring calendar event covers it. The tracker earns its place with vials, mid-titration date changes, site rotation you keep forgetting, or when you want weight and shots on one screen.
