Stay in control of your protocol. RECON is a private journal for peptide and supplement protocols - what you take, how you feel, and how it trends. Log every dose, manage your vials, watch your trends, and keep your whole protocol in one calm, fast place. Informational tracking only: it is not medical advice and does not recommend doses. You enter every value yourself. A COMPLETE REDESIGN - "RECON DARK" A deep, focused dark interface with monospaced readouts, and a signature beyond-use-date (BUD) freshness ring that shows at a glance how much life each vial has left. SEE YOUR TRENDS Track weight, body fat and muscle over time, with the signals that show how you're responding - calories, protein, sleep, HRV, resting heart rate and steps, read-only from Apple Health. Overlay your injection history on the curve. 30 days, 90 days, a year, or all of it. GOALS & STREAKS Earn streaks and badges built from your real logged activity - honest momentum that rewards showing up for your own protocol. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Vials with a freshness ring: concentration, cost, beyond-use date, levels remaining - Mixing Bench: general arithmetic on the numbers you enter (concentration, volume, units). It shows the math for your inputs; it never tells you what to take. - Log injections and supplements together: quick-log, sites, backdating - Schedule with reminders, grouped by day - Cycles: on/off rhythms, reminders, completion summaries - Active levels and labs, with a labs-vs-doses timeline - Progress photos: a private, owner-only timeline - Injection-site rotation, supplements & stacks, and a compound reference library PRIVATE BY DESIGN Lock the app with Face ID and export your data anytime. Tracking is free. RECON is an informational and tracking tool for adults 18+. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or dosing guidance. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
