I’m sharing a small app I built: *SugarTrack*.
I know it’s the age of AI, but I still think there’s value in taking the time to solve simple, practical problems—especially when those problems affect people who aren’t technical.
I built SugarTrack because I was tired of managing blood sugar readings using paper forms and notebooks for someone close to me. We were taking photos of readings, keeping Excel sheets, and writing notes in different places. It worked, but it was messy and difficult to maintain.
I wanted something much simpler: a digital notebook that stays on the phone.
A lot of existing apps require an account, a subscription, or an internet connection. I didn’t need any of that. I just wanted to record readings and have the information available when needed.
*SugarTrack is a free Android app with:*
* No account or login * No internet connection required * No analytics or tracking * Local SQLite storage * Blood sugar readings and notes * Meal photos * Medication tracking * A1C tracking * Graphs for viewing trends * Daily reminders * PDF and CSV export for sharing with a doctor
There’s also a practical reason I wanted this to work offline. In many developing countries, people often have to manage and record their health information themselves, without the connected glucose-monitoring devices and ecosystems that are more common in wealthier countries. A simple offline-first tool can therefore be much more useful than an app built around subscriptions and cloud accounts.
SugarTrack *does not measure blood sugar*. You still use your own glucometer—the app is simply a place to keep and understand your readings.
It’s Android-only for now.
I’d genuinely love feedback from anyone who has had to track blood sugar for themselves or a family member. *What would make a simple app like this actually useful in your day-to-day life?*
