Creatine works. But only if you take it every day. And most people quit within 2 weeks. Creatine Today helps you stick with it. Add your creatine, pick your reminder time, and the app handles the rest. One tap to mark it as taken. Done. WHAT IT DOES - Daily reminder at whatever time you pick. Mark as taken straight from the notification without opening the app. - Day streak counter. Big on the home screen. Hard to ignore. - A month calendar of your streak. See at a glance which days you took it. - Your whole plan on one screen: what you take, phase, schedule, saturation, and every supplement you track. SCAN YOUR STACK (PRO) Take a photo of any supplement tub. The app reads the label, adds the supplement with its own reminder, and counts your check-ins against the servings on the label, so it can remind you to buy more before you run out. LOG FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN (PRO) An "I took it" button on your Lock Screen and Home Screen widget, and a Live Activity that keeps today's supplement on your Lock Screen until you log it. Log your creatine without opening the app. AI COACH Ask anything about creatine and supplements: saturation, timing, how to recover a broken streak. It knows your streak, schedule, and logs, so the answers fit your routine, not generic internet advice. It does not give dosing advice: the amounts in your plan are always the ones you set. WITH PRO - Phase schedules. Want a loading phase and a maintenance phase? Set them up with your own amounts, and the app switches phases on the dates you choose. - Saturation timeline. See how far you are from 100% muscle saturation. - Weight tracking to measure how creatine affects your body composition. - Workout log tied to your supplementation. - Reorder reminders for every tub, so you never run out. - Unlimited supplements: scan protein, vitamins, whatever you take. - Unlimited AI Coach chat, with your conversation kept between sessions. - Log a day you missed after the fact, from the calendar. The free version covers creatine monohydrate with reminders, your streak and the month calendar. Pro unlocks the rest. That's it. No social feed, no news articles. Just the tool to help you stay consistent. We kept it simple on purpose. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Dutch. Terms of Use: https://creatinetoday.com/terms
