Steady is a complete GLP-1 companion for semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide, and compounded medications. Starting out, climbing a titration, switching, holding, or tapering off — it keeps your doses, weight, nutrition, and symptoms in one place. YOUR DAILY DASHBOARD Today opens on what matters now: your next dose, current weight and goal progress, food noise, protein, hydration, and whether you have checked in. It changes with your cycle, so shot day looks different from the quiet middle of the week. DOSES, TRACKED PROPERLY Log every dose with its date, time, amount, site, and notes, and rotate sites using an interactive body map. Reminders arrive before a dose is due and take you straight to logging. Dose Chapters show how progress changed at each medication and strength, so a dose increase is something you can look back on. Live Activities keep the next dose on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. BUILT FOR REAL TREATMENT PLANS Few journeys are one medication at one dose. Steady tracks several therapies at once, with Primary, Ramping Up, and Weaning Off roles, transition plans, and a titration timeline. It follows your medication's published dose schedule and shows the step your recorded dose actually puts you on. Staying longer on a dose is normal and is never treated as falling behind — you and your prescriber decide what happens, and nothing changes without your confirmation. An estimated level curve shows where you sit in the weekly cycle, and vial inventory tells you when to reorder. PROGRESS BEYOND THE SCALE Log weight in pounds or kilograms, synced with Apple Health, and follow charts that mark dose changes against your trend. Track waist, hips, chest, arms, and thighs, compare progress photos side by side, record non-scale victories, and keep labs like A1C and cholesterol alongside everything else. Weekly summaries pull it together. MUSCLE, NUTRITION, AND HOW YOU FEEL Losing weight well means keeping the muscle you have. Steady connects protein goals, strength training, hydration, and your rate of loss into lean-mass insights. Log meals manually, by barcode, or with photo analysis. Check-ins capture food noise, energy, mood, sleep, and side effects, and trends show how those shift across your cycle. TOOLS WHEN YOU NEED THEM Generate a clinician report covering doses, weight, symptoms, and trends for an appointment. Use the reconstitution calculator for compounded vials, import history from CSV, track supplements with My Stack, and read lab-report photos with private on-device intelligence. Widgets, Shortcuts, and Control Center keep logging a second away. BUILT TO BE READABLE Today scales with your text size, reflowing into full-width cards instead of clipping at the largest accessibility settings. Optimised for iPhone Duo's cover display. NO ADS, EVER No banners, no ad SDK, no advertising data collected, on any plan. FREE AND PREMIUM Tracking is free and works without an account: dose logging, reminders, weight, charts, measurements, labs, photos, check-ins, the reconstitution calculator, and CSV import. Premium adds cloud backup and sync across your devices and the web app, unlimited AI meal scans (ten a month are free), the clinician report, vial tracking, titration autopilot, and three extra themes. Premium is a monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and are managed in your Apple ID settings. Steady is an informational tracking tool and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Dose schedules come from each product's prescribing information and are reference only. Always follow the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Privacy Policy: https://www.steadydose.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

The injectable tracker that does the math and syncs across all your devices. ProtoPep is built for people who draw their own dose. It handles compounded vial reconstitution, weekly titration ladders, peptide blends as first-class objects, and multi-peptide stack scheduling, with iCloud sync, missed-dose alerts, a print-ready PDF summary for your provider, and CSV export of every record. WHO USES PROTOPEP GLP-1 users on semaglutide, tirzepatide, or compounded vials. Track your weekly shot, your titration step, and your weight trend together in one screen. Peptide users running BPC, TB-500, CJC, Ipamorelin, GHK-Cu, or custom blends. Schedule cycles, log injection sites, and always know which vial is fresh. WHAT SETS PROTOPEP APART Reconstitution math in both directions. Forward (vial mg plus BAC water to mL and units) and reverse (target dose plus draw volume to BAC water needed). A visible insulin syringe shows the fill level, and you can save calculations to a vial so you never re-enter them. iCloud syncs with no account and no login. Lose your phone and restore everything across iPhone and iPad. Your data stays in your private iCloud, never on third-party servers. Blends as first-class objects. A vial holding BPC plus TB-500, or CJC plus Ipamorelin, is a single entry with its component breakdown stored for accurate math. Titration ladders built in. Semaglutide 0.25 to 2.4 mg, tirzepatide 2.5 to 15 mg, or fully custom, with graduation countdowns and one-tap step holds. Missed-dose alerts that work. A second reminder arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled time if you have not logged, deep-linking straight to log as taken. Inventory measured in doses, not mg. See how many doses remain and when a vial expires. Logging a dose deducts it automatically. One-tap provider summary. Turn your protocols, adherence, and weight trend into a clean, print-ready PDF. Choose a date range, then share or print it for your provider. CSV export for every record, ready for your own spreadsheet or files. BUILT FOR PEOPLE LEAVING SPREADSHEETS ProtoPep is for anyone who has been running a Google Sheet, screenshotting a pharmacy receipt, and double-checking math late at night. Same job, better tool. DESIGN Dark mode first. Tabular numerals on every dose, mg, and streak. Haptic feedback on every log. One primary action per screen. Designed for quick, real-world use.
