A clear record helps you remember when you took a shot, what you logged, where you injected, and what comes next.
Record your first shot
Start with the medication and schedule from your prescription during setup. If you want to track remaining supply, add your container first.
- Open Summary and choose Log Shot.
- Review the medication and dose. Use Change to correct the record to match what you actually took, not to choose a treatment.
- Check the date and time. The record should reflect when the shot happened, which may differ from when you are entering it.
- Review the injection site and Supply source. A suggested site is not proof of where you injected.
- Add the pain level or other observations you want to remember, then tap Log Shot to save.
What should a shot record include?
You do not need to record everything. Save the details you may want to check later.
- Date and time: when you logged the shot.
- Medication and dose: what you recorded from your prescribed plan.
- Injection site: where you injected.
- Side effects and notes: anything you want to remember between shots.
- Medication used: which pen, vial, or other container you used.
ShotNest puts these details into a timeline and keeps your next scheduled shot visible. It does not tell you which medication or dose to take.
Why context matters more than a streak
A shot log should help you understand your history, not grade you. Reviewing shots with weight entries, side effects, and dose changes can make patterns easier to see.
This history can make conversations with a licensed clinician more specific. Your prescription and clinician remain the source of truth.
Review and correct previous shots
Open your shot history from Summary and choose a record to review its date, medication, dose, and injection site. Choose Edit when a saved detail needs correcting, review the changes, then save.
If the app asks how a correction should affect supply, read the choices before confirming. Correcting a past record does not necessarily mean medication was used from your current container.
For each subsequent shot, repeat the review instead of assuming the previous dose, site, time, or source still applies. To understand the site history specifically, see remembering previous injection sites.
Use a record to remember, not to guess
A useful entry might say: Thursday evening, the medication and dose on your prescription, left thigh, the container you used, and a note that you felt tired the following morning. You can revisit that entry before an appointment without reconstructing the week from memory.
A symptom after a shot does not prove the shot caused it. Record what you noticed and discuss medical questions with your clinician.
If your history does not look right
- A shot is missing: check the date you entered and whether the record was saved. Use the past-shot entry option for a shot that already happened.
- A shot appears twice: review the individual records before correcting a duplicate; check any related supply adjustment too.
- The site is wrong: correct the recorded site to what actually happened rather than leaving the suggested value.
- The curve looks unexpected: review recorded dates and doses. Medication levels are modeled estimates, not measured concentrations or instructions for your next shot.
If you are unsure whether you took a dose, a missing app entry cannot settle that question. Follow your medication instructions and ask your clinician or pharmacist.
Private by design
ShotNest works without an account. Your detailed records stay on your iPhone by default. Apple Health access and iCloud Sync work only when you choose to enable them.

Important boundaries
ShotNest does not prescribe medication, recommend dose changes, replace medication instructions, or provide medical care. Never use an estimate in the app to decide whether or how to take medication.
If you have questions about a medication, label, dose, schedule, or symptom, check the medication instructions and contact a licensed clinician or pharmacist. The FDA also advises patients to obtain GLP-1 medication with a prescription and use a licensed pharmacy.
