Whether you're optimizing for fat loss, muscle gain, longevity, recovery or anti aging, Milligram is for people who want to take back control of their health protocols with science-backed confidence. Every other tracker gives you a tidier place to write down what you already did. Milligram models what is actually in your system right now. Every dose charted against every half-life. Everything in the stack with info and the database covering over 3,581 references total. Bloodwork read against what you are actually running. And an AI assistant that answers from your real-time numbers, read against a database made specifically for your protocol, not everyday questions. FEATURES Your Protocol: Everything you run, on one screen. Each compound with its own schedule, dose, vial and supply tracked, and the whole protocol read as one picture rather than being scattered across different notes, files and spreadsheets. Dose tracking: Log every dose, whether that's an injectable or an oral supplement - Milligram works with every compound and every dosing route. Reminders arrive on the protocol's schedule and know which compound, which dose and which injection site. Reconstitution Calculator: Mix any vial, any concentration. Convert mg, mcg, IU, and units for compound preparation. Designed for accurately mixing peptide vials with bacteriostatic water - saved to your compounds for quick reference. Milligram Intelligence: An assistant that already has your stack, your doses, your bloodwork and your Apple Health data loaded. Ask "what do I draw for 5mg from a 10mg vial in 2ml", "how is my weight tracking against my retatrutide cycle", or "did my IGF-1 move on tesamorelin", and get an answer from your own numbers. Level Buildup: See your compound levels build from each trough to peak. Every dose is charted against the published half-life of your compound, so you know exactly when you've reached the right zone at the right titration, how each dose is keeping you there, and how much a missed dose can actually move the needle. Bloodwork: Upload a PDF or a photo of your labs. Every biomarker is extracted and out-of-range values flagged, then kept where they can be read against the compounds that might be moving them. Compound Library: 202 compounds with mechanisms, dose ranges, half-lives, expected timelines and side-effect profiles, each referenced to clinical sources. Retatrutide, tirzepatide and semaglutide. Testosterone esters, Masteron, Anavar. Tesamorelin, BPC-157, GHK-Cu, MK-677, Ipamorelin and CJC-1295. Creatine, Omega-3 Fish Oil, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin D3, and more. AI calorie and nutrition tracking: Scan any meal with your camera. Snap a photo, scan a barcode, or scan a nutrition label and Milligram extracts calories, protein, carbs and fat instantly. Track every meal against your daily targets with a clean macro breakdown. Apple Health: Two-way sync for sleep, HRV, vitals, activity, weight and body composition, so protocol data and health data sit in the same timeline.

Adaptive Strength Coach
Read full descriptionHide full description
Adaptive Strength Coach writes your gym programme, logs your workouts, and works out next session's weights and reps from what you actually lifted. You don't rate how hard a set felt. You don't test your max. You don't keep a spreadsheet. You train, you log, and the plan adjusts. BUILT FOR BUILDING MUSCLE AND STRENGTH • A full training plan from day one, built around your goal, your days per week and the kit you've got • Every exercise comes with a target weight and rep range for today • Log each set in two taps: weight, reps, done • Rest timer that carries on when your phone's in your pocket • Next week's targets change based on what you completed, not on a fixed percentage SEE THAT IT'S WORKING • Personal records tracked automatically • Estimated 1RM trends for every lift, no max testing needed • Progress by exercise and by muscle group • Full workout history, searchable TRAIN HARD WITHOUT DIGGING A HOLE • Recovery Windows spot when fatigue is building and ease the load before you stall • Optional Recovery & Capacity sessions that support your lifting rather than compete with it STRENGTH TRAINING • Follow a Get Stronger plan for squat, bench and deadlift, with targets shaped by the workouts you log • New meet-date plans are temporarily unavailable; previously saved meet plans remain accessible YOUR DATA, BACKED UP • Sign in and your plan and history are backed up to the cloud, so a new phone doesn't mean starting again • Or stay offline and keep everything on your device WHO IT'S FOR Anyone lifting weights who wants to get stronger and build muscle without becoming their own coach. Beginners get structure without the overwhelm. Experienced lifters get progression handled so they can put their attention into the set in front of them. WHAT IT ISN'T It's not a library of celebrity workouts, and it won't ask you to rate every set out of ten. It watches what you lift and adjusts. SUBSCRIPTION 14-day free trial, then £9.99 a month or £99 a year. Cancel any time in your App Store settings. Built by one lifter in Northamptonshire.
