PUP
Tracking your bowel movements sounds niche until you try it — then you wonder how you ever managed without it. Whether you’re dealing with IBS, working on gut health, or just curious about your patterns, a good tracker turns vague feelings into clear data.
If you want a simple way to keep your own records, PUP is a private poop diary and bowel movement tracker.
Here are the best options on Android right now.
If you are comparing trackers because you want to understand your own baseline first, read our guide to how often you should poop before choosing an app.
1. PUP — Best for gamified tracking
Price: Free (Pro available)
PUP is built around one idea: logging should take 7 seconds, not 7 minutes. You pick your Bristol type, duration, and toilet type — done. No essays, no multi-page forms.
What makes it different:
- Bristol Stool Scale as the core — every log uses the clinical 7-type scale, so your data actually means something
- Gamification that works — 10 ranks, daily streaks, 46 achievements, and XP. It sounds silly, but it makes you actually want to log.
- Offline-first — works without internet, syncs when you’re back
- Privacy-first — no ads, no tracking pixels, no data selling
- Pattern analysis — monthly calendar, distribution charts, and a Poop Score
Best for: Anyone who wants to track consistently without it feeling like homework.
2. Poop Tracker — Simple and functional
Price: Free with ads
A straightforward tracker that lets you log stool type, color, and notes. No gamification, no frills — just a clean logging interface.
What it offers:
- Basic Bristol scale logging
- Color tracking
- Notes field
- Calendar view
Best for: People who want a no-nonsense tracker without extra features.
3. Bowelle — IBS-focused
Price: Free / Premium
Bowelle is designed specifically for people with IBS. It tracks stool, food, stress, medications, and symptoms in one place.
What it offers:
- Detailed symptom logging
- Food diary integration
- Stress and medication tracking
- Export for doctor visits
Best for: People managing IBS who need to correlate food, stress, and symptoms with bowel habits.
4. MyFitnessPal (for gut health)
Price: Free / Premium
Not a poop tracker per se, but many people use MyFitnessPal’s food diary to identify gut health patterns. When combined with a dedicated stool tracker, food logs become much more useful.
Best for: People who want to connect diet to gut outcomes.
What to look for in a poop tracker
- Speed — if logging takes more than 30 seconds, you won’t do it consistently
- Bristol scale support — the clinical standard; anything else is guesswork
- Offline capability — you won’t always have signal in the bathroom
- Data ownership — can you export your data? Can you delete it?
- Pattern visualization — raw logs are hard to read; charts and calendars surface insights
The bottom line
The best poop tracker is the one you’ll actually use. Most people who try tracking for a month discover patterns they never noticed — which foods sit well, how stress affects their gut, whether their “normal” is actually normal.
