Where Injectly has the advantage
Injectly, developed by Matthias Gattermeier, has several concrete advantages. First, its official listing describes serum concentration insights for supported medications, protocols, reminders, and calendar history. Second, Injectly provides an optional Apple or Google account integration that enables cross-device sync and advanced schedules. Finally, Injectly supports older devices with a minimum requirement of iOS 15.0 and has a larger public rating record of 4.88 from 361 ratings.[1]
- Serum concentration insights for supported medications.
- Cross-device sync via an optional Apple or Google account.
- Broader device compatibility (iOS 15.0) and a larger public rating record.
Where Pinned differs
Pinned approaches injection tracking with a focus on health records staying on the device and modern iOS integrations. Pinned keeps health records on the device and does not require an account. It integrates a read-only Apple Health import feature and offers optional Face ID protection. Pinned requires a minimum of iOS 18.0 and supports exporting data via CSV and PDF.[1]
The privacy and account tradeoff
Choosing between these two applications requires deciding how you want your data managed. Injectly allows for basic logging without an account, but to unlock advanced schedules and cross-device sync, users can opt into using an Apple or Google account. Conversely, Pinned is built around health records staying on the device. It does not offer an account system, meaning your data remains on the device where it was entered.[1][2]
How to choose
Your decision should be guided by your hardware and your workflow preferences. If you require serum concentration insights for supported medications, use a device running an older version of iOS, or need your records to use cross-device sync, Injectly provides those capabilities. If you prefer an application that integrates with Apple Health and utilizes Face ID, and you are running iOS 18.0 or later, Pinned provides an alternative workflow.
