BodyPhase is a 120-day body recomposition program that lives entirely on your phone. No subscriptions. No cloud account. No third-party analytics. Every calculation runs on-device. WHAT IT DOES: HABITS A time-unlocked daily checklist follows your exact schedule — from 6:30 AM wake-up to 11 PM sleep. Each habit unlocks only when it's time, keeping you present instead of planning ahead. The week grid shows your completion rate at a glance. PROGRESSIVE WORKOUTS Four lifting sessions per week (Upper A / Lower A / Upper B / Lower B) plus daily mobility and recovery work. Every set tracks the weight you used last time, so the app always knows when to nudge you to go heavier. A 120-day scrollable strip lets you preview upcoming sessions or review past ones. PERSONALISED DIET Your daily calorie and macro targets are calculated from your actual stats — height, weight, age, sex — using the Mifflin-St Jeor BMR formula and ACSM activity multipliers. The intensity of your plan (Aggressive Cut → Bulk) is derived automatically from the gap between your estimated and target body fat percentage. Meals are split across five windows: Pre-Workout, Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, and Dinner. Every meal card shows exact gram amounts for your protein source (chicken, fish, or eggs) and carbs (oats or Sona Masoori rice), including the cooked-from-fridge equivalent so you never have to guess. WEIGHT PROGRESS Log your weight on any day and watch the trend chart build over time. Your BMI, estimated body fat, lean mass, and weeks-to-goal are all derived from what you log — no wearable required. PRIVACY BodyPhase collects zero data. Nothing leaves your device. All entries are stored in iOS local storage (UserDefaults). Optional iCloud Key-Value sync keeps your data in sync across your own devices — the developer has no access to it. There are no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters, no ad networks, and no external network requests of any kind. DESIGNED FOR People who want a structured, science-backed program without a monthly fee or a login screen. Everything is calculated for you — just follow the plan.

Your plan, your numbers, and your habits stay in sync across devices so you can execute without juggling five apps. Built for lifters & physique-focused athletes Structured workouts, progress you can see, and clarity on what “done” looks like each week. Whether you’re running a long cut, pushing a surplus for size, or cycling phases, Refactor is built around the reality of training blocks—not generic “10-minute abs.” Nutrition that matches your ambition Dial in calories and macros, log meals fast (including voice and photo flows where available), and keep daily targets aligned with your goals. When you adjust targets on web or phone, your snapshot stays consistent so you’re always working off one source of truth. Data that actually supports decisions Connect wearables and log biofeedback so recovery, sleep, and activity inform how you train and eat—not just how you feel in the moment. Coaching & accountability Check in with your coach, stay on top of milestones, and keep momentum when motivation dips. Recomp is built for people who want structure, not another empty tracker.
