Ellie is an iPhone app that provides a structured, week-by-week plan for people coming off or reducing GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. It helps you maintain the weight you lost by tracking your trend line, catching drift early, and offering tools like a Food Noise SOS panic button and a protein/strength floor. The app is free to download, with a subscription unlocking the full plan, and an Android version is planned.
What is Ellie?
Ellie is a health companion app designed for the period during and after GLP-1 use. It takes your current medication regimen (dose, frequency, or discontinuation date) and your personal weight line (the number you won't cross) as inputs, and produces a personalized After Plan with weekly guidance, a 7-day trend line, and a one-page export you can bring to your prescriber. It runs on iOS (iPhone first, Android next) and is made by the team at getellie.app.
Key Features
- After Plan — A week-by-week timeline from your last dose or current taper, covering the water-weight jump, appetite return, and high-risk windows, with specific actions for each phase.
- Food Noise SOS — A panic button for intense cravings or food thoughts; a 10-minute protocol and a chart showing noise fading over weeks.
- Trend Line & Drift Alerts — Watches the 7-day average, not single weigh-ins, and catches drift at 4 lbs above your line, triggering a "tighten week" instead of a restart.
- Protein & Strength Floor — Simple daily protein targets and 20-minute home strength sessions to protect muscle while holding weight.
- Medication Modeling — Tracks your actual regimen (standard weekly, stretched, stepped down, or done) and never suggests a dose.
- Bring-to-Prescriber Export — A clean one-page summary of your regimen, trend, and plan to share with your doctor.
- Free Tools & Guides — Five calculators (washout, microdosing chart, taper visualizer, maintenance calories, protein) and 26 guides on tapering, food noise, and regain, all with cited sources.
Who is it for?
- People tapering off GLP-1s — Use Ellie to follow a structured plan that anticipates the appetite return and guides you through the high-risk weeks.
- People who have stopped GLP-1s — Track your weight trend and get early drift alerts to prevent regain.
- People on a reduced dose — Model your current regimen and get tailored advice for holding your number while on less medication.
- Prescribers — Use the one-page export to have data-driven conversations with patients about their maintenance plan.
What can you do with Ellie?
- Taper planning: Visualize your medication level with the Taper Schedule Visualizer and see what stepping down does to your system.
- Maintenance calorie calculation: Use the Maintenance Calories tool, which includes the adaptation adjustment that other calculators skip.
- Food noise management: Use the SOS tool when cravings hit, and track your noise trend over weeks to see improvement.
- Protein tracking: Set goal-weight protein targets and split them per meal with the Protein Calculator.
How does Ellie work?
After downloading, you log your first morning weight and set your personal line (the number you won't cross). Ellie then generates your After Plan based on your medication status (on, tapering, or off) and provides daily prompts, weekly guidance, and drift alerts. The app uses published research (STEP-1 extension, SURMOUNT-4, Cleveland Clinic data) to inform its protocols.
Pricing
Ellie is free to download, with a subscription unlocking the full plan. The free version includes access to five calculators and 26 guides without signup.
