Orforglipron tracker: know what the daily pill is building to
Orforglipron is the newest name in this category and a GLP-1 that behaves like an ordinary pill: no injection, no fridge, no timing rules. A tracker for it has two jobs, keep the daily dose from slipping and show you what is stacking up while your body adjusts.
Setva is on its way to the App Store. The curve calculator on this site is free today.
An orforglipron tracker logs your daily tablet, reminds you at the time you choose, and estimates how much is still in your body from the published half-life of about 29 to 49 hours. Setva does that on your iPhone, adds side effects and weight, and keeps every entry on your device and in your own private iCloud.
What orforglipron is and how it is prescribed
Orforglipron is an oral non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonist from Eli Lilly. The FDA approved it in April 2026 for weight management in adults with obesity, or with overweight and at least one weight related condition. It is not approved for type 2 diabetes. It is sold as Foundayo.
The label lists 0.8 mg, 2.5 mg, 5.5 mg, 9 mg, 14.5 mg and 17.2 mg, one tablet a day, and 17.2 mg is the maximum. The 36 mg figure that turns up in press coverage is a clinical trial dose and is not on the label. Which strength you are on is your prescriber's call.
It is a small molecule rather than a peptide, so it skips the empty stomach rule, the measured water and the 30 minute wait that oral semaglutide needs. Any time of day, food or no food.
Why a daily pill still draws a curve worth reading
The published half-life is about 29 to 49 hours, roughly 1.2 to 2.0 days, a range rather than one number. That is longer than the gap between doses, so each tablet lands on what is left of the last one and the level climbs instead of resetting.
It climbs for roughly the first week to ten days on a strength, then runs close to flat. Day 2 on a new strength is not the same estimated level as day 10, and the log is what tells them apart later.
Because the figure is a band, this curve is a wider estimate than most. It is educational, drawn from published half-life data, never a measurement of your blood.
What an orforglipron tracker actually needs to do
Most pill trackers were built for antibiotics. They ask one question, taken or not taken, and treat every day as interchangeable. A drug that accumulates for a week needs another shape.
- One or two taps to log the tablet, late days included
- The strength in mg, kept in the history when it changes
- An estimated level from the published half-life, labeled as an estimate
- Side effects with intensity, not a yes or a no
- Weight as a 7 day average instead of daily noise
- No account and no login, because none of this belongs on a server
Side effects and the day they land on
Nausea, fatigue, constipation and reflux come up most with GLP-1 medicines. The hard part is rarely the symptom, it is the timing. You remember last week was rough. You do not remember it was rough on the second and third day after your strength changed.
Logging takes a second: tap the chip, set how strong it was, carry on. After a few weeks the record answers what memory cannot. Setva describes what you logged and when, and it never suggests a change to your dose.
The reminder problem with a pill you can take any time
A weekly injection is an event. A tablet with no food rules and no fixed hour is easy to lose, because nothing anchors it to the rest of your day.
Setva sends one reminder at the time you pick. If nothing is logged a few hours later, you get one more nudge. Never a third, never a guilt line, never a streak to defend.
A missed day shows on the curve quickly, because the estimated level falls by about half every day or two rather than every week. Log it anyway, then ask your prescriber what they want you to do.
Your health data stays on your iPhone
Setva has no accounts and no login, because there is no server of ours to log in to. Your doses, your symptoms and your weight live on your iPhone and in your own private iCloud. What you take is between you and your prescriber.
How Setva tracks orforglipron
Setva is an iPhone app for people on GLP-1 treatment, injection or pill. Pick orforglipron, set the strength in mg and the hour you take it, and the rest is one tap a day.
The curve carries its disclaimer underneath it. Side effect chips hold intensity and sort themselves by day of the cycle, weight runs on a 7 day average with Apple Health, and the same record reaches a home screen widget, a Lock Screen widget and an Apple Watch app.
Setva is not on the App Store yet. When it lands it is a paid app, 79.99 USD a year or 12.99 USD a week, with no trial. Until then the curve calculator on this site is free, needs no signup and runs entirely in your browser.
Setva is coming to the App Store. Join the waitlist and you will hear from us once, the day it goes live.
Questions people ask
Is orforglipron approved?
Yes. The FDA approved it in April 2026 for weight management in adults with obesity, or with overweight and at least one weight related condition. It is sold as Foundayo, one tablet a day.
What is the half-life of orforglipron?
The label reports about 29 to 49 hours, roughly 1.2 to 2.0 days, a range rather than one figure. Setva draws the curve from the middle of that band and marks it as an educational estimate, not a blood measurement.
Is orforglipron the same thing as Foundayo?
Same medicine. Orforglipron is the molecule, Foundayo is Eli Lilly's brand name, and that is the name your prescription carries. Setva stores it either way.
Do I have to take orforglipron on an empty stomach?
No. It has no food or water timing rules, which is what sets it apart from oral semaglutide. Keeping the same hour each day still helps you remember it.
How long does the estimated level take to settle?
The estimate climbs for roughly the first week to ten days on a strength, then runs close to flat. It is an estimate from published data, not a measurement of your blood.
What happens if I miss a day?
Log it anyway. An honest record is worth more than a clean one. Then ask your prescriber what to do. Setva never tells you to skip, split or double a dose.
Can Setva track orforglipron and a weekly injection?
Yes. Setva handles daily tablets and weekly injections, and keeps the dose in mg so the history survives a change. Injection users also get the body map.
This is an educational estimate based on published half-life data, not a measurement of your blood. Never change your dose without your prescriber.
