What is Ellie?
Ellie is a week-by-week companion app for people coming off or reducing GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy. It is built around one central idea: the hard part—losing the weight—is done, and the next chapter is about keeping it. Ellie tracks your trend line, helps you set a personal "line you will not cross," and walks you through a structured After Plan that anticipates the biological phases of appetite return. It is free to download on iPhone, with a subscription unlocking the full plan. An Android version is planned.
Who it's for
- The taperer — someone actively reducing their GLP-1 dose and wanting a structured plan for the transition.
- The maintainer — someone who has stopped medication entirely and needs a week-by-week framework to hold their results.
- The planner — someone still on their full dose who wants to prepare for the eventual return of appetite before it happens.
Key features
The After Plan
A week-by-week timeline that starts from your last dose or current taper. It maps out the water-weight jump, the peak of food noise, and the statistical high-risk windows—so nothing ambushes you. Each phase comes with specific guidance, from locking in a protein floor to activating tripwires during the hardest months.
Food Noise SOS
A panic button for the moments when thoughts about food get loud. It delivers a ten-minute protocol and tracks your noise trend over weeks, showing the pattern fading. The design is practical, not preachy: it gives you something to do in the moment and evidence that it is working over time.
The line you will not cross
You set a single number once. Ellie watches the 7-day trend—never a single weigh-in—and catches drift at 4 pounds instead of 20. This turns a vague fear of regain into a concrete, early-warning system.
Bring-to-your-prescriber export
One clean page with your real regimen, trend, and plan. It turns your data into a concise summary you can hand to your doctor, so the conversation starts from facts rather than memory.
What stands out
It is not willpower you were missing. It is architecture.
Ellie's core insight is that maintenance fails not because people lack discipline, but because they lack structure. The app replaces guesswork with a predictable framework: it models the level of medication you actually take—standard, stretched, stepped down, or done—and never suggests a dose. It also refuses to gamify your progress. No streaks to lose, no guilt for missed days. Just a steady companion that holds the line you drew.
Worth checking out if…
You are on, tapering, or recently stopped a GLP-1 medication and want a structured, data-driven plan for what comes next. It is especially useful if you are concerned about the statistical reality that two-thirds of lost weight returns within a year without a plan—and you want to be in the 45% who maintain. Ellie is also a strong fit if you prefer calm, non-judgmental tools over gamified fitness apps, or if you want a clean one-page summary to bring to your prescriber.
