Comparison
Cafeity compared with Cronometer
Cronometer is the nutrition tracker people choose when they want precision: verified foods and a full vitamin and mineral breakdown. On a GLP-1, when you are eating less, that detail can matter. It is not a medication record, though — and Cafeity is not a micronutrient tracker.
Where Cronometer is ahead
Cronometer tracks more than 95 vitamins and minerals from a curated database of over 1.1 million verified foods — far more nutritional detail than Cafeity, which counts calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat and fibre. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, supports iPhones back to iOS 15.5, connects to Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, Oura, Whoop and others, and has 98,477 ratings averaging 4.8 stars. Barcode scanning is free. If micronutrients are your main concern — a reasonable one when appetite is low — Cronometer is the stronger tool.

They do different jobs
Cronometer answers "what did I eat, down to the magnesium?" Cafeity answers "what happened this week on my medication?" — the dose, the days after, the symptoms, what you managed to eat, and one page to show your prescriber. Cronometer's own blog suggests logging GLP-1 doses as a custom biometric with a Gold subscription. That works as a note, but it gives no dose history by injection site, no estimated level and no visit summary.
Why the micronutrient detail can matter
Eating much less makes it harder to get enough of everything, which is one reason the GLP-1 nutrition guidance stresses protein and nutrient-dense foods (see what to eat on a GLP-1). If your clinician has asked you to watch particular vitamins or minerals, Cronometer does that and Cafeity does not.
If you want to use both
Cafeity writes the food you log in it to Apple Health, but it does not read food logged in other apps. If you log food in Cronometer and keep the medication record in Cafeity, Cafeity's protein and fibre views will not see those meals.
