Glik: Glycaemic Index & Load

Scan a product or type its name to see how it affects your blood sugar, or compare two side by side. No account, no ads, offline.

Glik shows how a food will affect your blood sugar: not just the glycaemic index, but the glycaemic load recalculated for the portion you will actually eat.

Now available in English, alongside Polish.

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

WHY LOAD, NOT JUST INDEX Watermelon has a high glycaemic index, but a typical portion gives a low glycaemic load. 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
• 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, Nutri-Score and processing level (NOVA) for packaged products

WORKS OFFLINE The built-in database works without an internet connection. You can also download thousands of packaged products in one tap, 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. 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.
