Glik: Glycaemic Index & Load

Glik shows the glycaemic index and glycaemic load of a food for the portion you will actually eat, and how that may affect your blood sugar. For anyone on a low-glycaemic-index diet, including people with diabetes or insulin resistance.

Glik is an educational tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. It does not monitor any condition and does not replace advice from a doctor, diabetes specialist or dietitian. Talk to your doctor before changing your diet or medication.

WHY LOAD, NOT JUST INDEX
White toast bread has a high glycaemic index (70), but one slice (25 g) gives a low glycaemic load (9.5). The index alone can be misleading. Glik always shows both, and recalculates the load for the portion you choose.

WHAT IT DOES
- Side-by-side comparison of two products: index, load, carbs and fibre at a glance
- Glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) for your chosen portion
- Barcode scanner for packaged products; it also reads QR and DataMatrix codes on new packaging
- Touch and hold the Glik icon to scan or search straight away. Glik's shortcuts also work from Spotlight, the Shortcuts app and the Action button
- Custom portion size, in grams or ounces
- Save a dish made of several ingredients as one reusable product with its own load
- Adds up the glycaemic load of a whole meal
- Better low-GI substitutes
- Export and import your favourites and meal, in case you switch phones
- Favourites and recently checked products
- Nutritional values (kcal, protein, fat, salt) for built-in products and most packaged ones (Open Food Facts), plus Nutri-Score and processing level (NOVA) for packaged ones
- In English and Polish

WORKS OFFLINE
The built-in database works without an internet connection. You can also download several hundred popular packaged products in one tap (usually in a few seconds), so scanning keeps working with no signal.

HONEST DATA
For every value you can see whether it was measured in a study or estimated from composition. We never present an estimate as if it were a measurement. The estimation method is explained directly in the app.

CLEAR FOR EVERYONE
We show the level with colour, shape and word together, so it can be read even with colour-vision differences. VoiceOver, text scaling and dark mode are supported.

PRICE AND PRIVACY
Pay once, every feature works right away, no subscription and no extra charges. No accounts, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your favourites and meals stay on your phone.
