Holdfast

Holdfast is the app for the meal plan you already have. Bring the plan your coach wrote and follow it, one ordinary day at a time. Built for people following a plan from a coach, nutritionist, dietitian or personal trainer, and for anyone on a cut, a bulk, a contest prep, a maintenance phase, or a plan they wrote for themselves. Following someone else's plan is not hard because the plan is hard. It is hard because the shop was out of chicken, lunch was whatever the canteen had, dinner ran late, you ate a bit less than it says, somebody brought cake into the office, and by Thursday the document on your phone describes a week that did not happen. Holdfast is what sits between the plan and the day. BRING THE PLAN YOU ALREADY HAVE • Photograph it, send the PDF, or paste the text • Training days and rest days kept apart, and graded on the right day • Fix a misread line without importing the whole thing again • Or start from a ready made plan if nobody has written you one yet LOG WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED • Search, barcode, a photo of the plate, or just say it in your own words. Photo and text reading use AI, which you can turn off • A bit less. A bit more. Could not finish it. It did not happen at all • Cook a pot on Sunday and log one portion of it all week • Every log lands against the meal your coach wrote, not a stranger's entry WHEN THE DAY GOES WRONG • Fix My Day rebuilds what is left of it, free every single time • Smart Swap trades it for one of the 100+ foods built into the app, portion matched • Fit it in adds something you want and pays for it out of the rest of the day • Eat out with real orders ranked by what still fits, and the tweak to ask for PROGRESS WITHOUT THE AUTOPSY • Weeks, not days in a row, so one bad Tuesday inside a good week costs nothing • A weight trend that knows what water did overnight, and says so • A weekly recap you can hand your coach in one tap • Quiet Mode turns the whole scoreboard off if you want the plan without the game WHY HOLDFAST Calorie trackers hand you an empty box and ask you to fill it in. Coaching platforms are built for the coach, and you are the one actually holding the plan at six o'clock on a Wednesday. Holdfast starts from the plan you were given and asks one question: what would make today match it. FREE FOREVER, WITH OR WITHOUT PRO Logging is free. Barcode scanning is free, and photo logging is free when AI is on. Your full macro breakdown is free. Your plan, your grocery list and eating out are free. And Fix My Day is free every time you need it, because charging you at the moment you are trying to recover is the wrong instinct. We do not put basic tracking behind a subscription, and we are not going to start. Your numbers come from the plan you were given and from USDA food data, not from a crowdsourced database where the same food carries five different calorie counts. Holdfast Pro unlocks unlimited Smart Swaps, unlimited coach chat, Plan Ahead and permanent swaps. Try it free for one week. Plan reading, photo logging and the coach use AI. Decline AI and the app still works, with your plan built from your answers. Holdfast Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. The price for your country is shown on the purchase screen before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, and renewal is charged within 24 hours before each period ends unless you turn auto-renew off at least 24 hours before then. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. An unused free trial is forfeited when you buy. Holdfast is a general wellness tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose anything, treat anything, or replace your coach, your dietitian or your doctor. Always speak to a qualified professional about health decisions.
