Ellie
The week-by-week plan to keep the weight off after GLP-1 medications.
About
Ellie is a mobile application designed to help users maintain their weight after stopping, reducing, or while continuing GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro. It provides a structured, week-by-week timeline to anticipate milestones like water-weight shifts and returning appetite, helping users navigate the transition without being caught unawares.
The app is built for individuals coming off or scaling down their medication who want to protect their results and avoid the common statistical rebound. It features a seven-day trend tracker to catch drift early, simple daily targets for protein and strength to preserve muscle, a Food Noise SOS panic button for cravings, and a doctor export page for clinical visits.
Unlike standard tracking apps, Ellie models the level of whatever regimen you actually take without ever suggesting a dose or offering medical advice. It serves as an educational companion to help users preserve their progress through architecture rather than willpower alone.

The default mode of how I operated was the typical subscription model... that didn't get much traction. My ICP would already be saturated with a bunch of different subscriptions they're paying for these multiple AI models. So that's when I had to change the product by moving away from web app into a desktop app and making it a one-time purchase.
Pivot Subscription To Lifetime Deal When Your ICP Is Already Drowning In Recurring AI Bills
Pren initially launched as a web app with a subscription/freemium model and got almost no paying users because his Power AI user ICP was already saturated with AI subscriptions. He pivoted to a one-time lifetime deal on a desktop app — and that single pricing change drove $80K in 6 months.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
