Formulate scores your whole routine (supplements, food, sleep, fitness and personal care) and shows you the next change worth making. KNOW WHAT'S WORKING Most apps just log what you take. Formulate scores it. Every supplement, food and personal care product gets an evidence-based quality score built on ingredients, dosing, form, third-party testing and brand trust, so you can see what's actually pulling its weight. EVERY PILLAR, SCORED Your score is built from the pillars of a long, healthy life: diet, supplements, nutrients, sleep, fitness and personal care. For each one you see what you logged today, your potential, and your ceiling once improved. THE NEXT CHANGE WORTH MAKING Raise your ceiling: for every pillar, Formulate finds the single best change and ranks them by how much each one moves your overall score. A food to add, a supplement worth taking, one more training session, a habit for your skin. YOUR DAY, WINDOW BY WINDOW Today lays out what to take, eat and do in each part of your day, shows what's due now, and catches the mistakes that quietly cost you, like vitamin D taken without a meal. TRAIN AND WATCH IT COUNT Run a live workout with a timer and your last session's numbers. Every set counts toward your week. SLEEP FROM YOUR WEARABLE Connect Oura and Formulate names the weakest part of your nights and the change most likely to help. FOOD AND NUTRIENTS, NOT JUST PILLS Log whole foods and meals alongside your supplements, scan a barcode or snap a photo, and see your real nutrient coverage and where the gaps are. EVERY PRODUCT, SCORED Browse a growing catalog of supplements, foods and skincare, each with a transparent score, full ingredient breakdown and dose checks. LEARN AS YOU GO A built-in encyclopedia, research summaries and guided learning tracks turn your routine into an education in longevity and nutrition. SYNCED ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Your stack, logs and progress sync between mobile and web. PRIVACY-FIRST Your health data stays yours. We don't sell it to advertisers.
