The best creatine tracking apps (2026)

Reviewed June 6, 2026 by Aniol Comas.

We make one of the apps on this list, so read this knowing that. We have still tried to keep it fair: every app here is real and verifiable on the App Store or Google Play, every feature listed is something the app itself claims, and the verdicts say plainly when a different app is the better fit. Creatine only works if you take it daily — the best tracker is whichever one you will actually keep using.

The honest starting point: you do not need any app to take creatine. A phone alarm, a sticky note on the protein tub, or a habit you already have will do the job. The reason people look for an app is that creatine works through daily consistency, and consistency is exactly where most people fall off. A tracker adds three things a sticky note cannot: a reminder you do not have to set every day, a visible streak that makes skipping feel costly, and a history that tells you whether you are actually being consistent or just think you are.

With that said, here is how the real options compare. The apps are grouped by what they are good at, not ranked one-to-seven, because the "best" one genuinely depends on what you want.

The comparison at a glance

A few notes on reading the table. "Not stated" means the app's public listing does not clearly claim that feature, so we have not asserted it either way rather than guess. Prices are the figures shown on the listings in June 2026; some apps show different prices by region, and free trials and price points change. Where an app gates reminders or saturation behind a paid tier, the table says so.

If you want the simplest possible reminder: Apple Medications or Creatine Meter

If your only goal is "buzz my phone so I do not forget," you do not need a creatine app at all. Apple Medications, built into the iPhone Health app, lets you add creatine as a supplement, set a daily reminder, and log when you take it, all for free. It is generic by design: no dose calculator, no saturation estimate, no streak. But it is already on your phone and it works.

Creatine Meter is the App Store equivalent. It is free, it logs your daily intake, it keeps a history, and it sends reminders. It does not estimate saturation and does not gamify with streaks. If you want something creatine-labeled but completely no-frills, it fits.

If you want creatine-specific tools: Creatine Today, Kreas, or CreaTrack

This is where the dedicated apps earn their place over a generic reminder. All three estimate where you are on the road to full muscle saturation based on your logged intake and missed days, and all three understand creatine concepts a habit tracker does not.

Kreas is the privacy-first, minimalist option. It is free with a one-time Kreas+ upgrade ($4.99), stores data locally with no account, and explicitly avoids social feeds and upsells. Its saturation estimate and supply tracking are core, and smart reminders and widgets come with Kreas+. It is on both iOS and Android. If you want a clean, no-subscription, no-tracking creatine app, Kreas is the one to look at first.

CreaTrack goes wider: alongside creatine logging, a dose calculator, reminders, streaks, and a saturation view, it logs your lifts and charts strength progress. It is iOS-only and runs $1.99/mo or $14.99/yr after a short trial. If you want your creatine log and your gym log in the same place, CreaTrack is the strongest fit here.

Creatine Today is our app, so judge this paragraph accordingly. The free tier covers the habit layer: reminders, a streak counter front-and-center on the home screen, and a full-history calendar. Pro ($2.99/mo, $19.99/yr, or $49.99 lifetime) adds a loading-and-maintenance protocol with automatic dose switching, a saturation timeline toward 100%, a weight-based dose optimizer, workout and supply tracking, and unlimited supplements. Where we think it stands out is the streak-driven habit loop combined with the science tools; where it does not win is price-per-feature against Kreas's one-time fee, or strength logging against CreaTrack.

If streaks and friends keep you going: Creatime or Creatinely

Creatime leans hardest into motivation. It is a "social creatine reminder" with daily reminders, stats, streaks, and a social layer to connect with friends and see their progress. It is free with in-app coin packs for cosmetic extras. If competing with friends is what keeps you consistent, this is the most social option on the list.

Creatinely is a polished single-purpose creatine logger built around one-tap logging, calendars, and streaks. Its paid tier adds smart reminders, iCloud sync, widgets, Apple Watch support, and advanced stats, with both subscription and a one-time lifetime option. It is iOS-only and a good pick if you live across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch and want everything in sync.

How to actually choose

Strip away the feature lists and it comes down to a few questions:

• Do you just want a reminder? Use Apple Medications or Creatine Meter. Free, done.
• Do you want creatine guidance — dosing, loading, saturation? Look at Kreas, CreaTrack, or Creatine Today.
• Do you hate subscriptions? Kreas (one-time $4.99) and Creatinely (lifetime option) and Creatine Today (lifetime option) all have non-subscription paths.
• Are you on Android? Kreas and Creatine Today are your dedicated options; otherwise use a habit tracker.
• Does competition motivate you? Creatime's social layer is built for that.

Whichever you pick, the feature that matters most is the one that gets you to open the app — or better, respond to the notification — every single day. A free reminder you actually use beats a feature-packed app you ignore. Try one for two weeks; if your streak is climbing, it is working.
