Boost testosterone naturally with a daily system of science-backed habits. Not another to-do list. THRIVE turns the habits that support healthy testosterone, better sleep, lower stress and real discipline into a simple daily routine. → YOUR PERSONAL SCORE Take a short quiz and get your T-score, a lifestyle score built from your answers, plus a plan of 8 habits to start with. The score climbs as you complete your habits and drifts down when you stop. It's a lifestyle score, not a blood test. → A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU Choose from 40 research-backed habits across Recovery, Activity, Nutrition and Lifestyle, and read the sources behind each one. Add, remove or create your own any time. → A FAST DAILY ROUTINE Swipe a habit to complete it. Finish them all and close out the day with Day complete. → STREAKS THAT FORGIVE Most apps break your streak when you miss one habit. THRIVE keeps it alive when you complete at least 80% of the day. Real consistency isn't perfection. → APPLE HEALTH, AUTOMATIC Connect Apple Health and your sleep, steps and water habits tick themselves. Sleep 7 hours, walk 8,000 steps or drink 3 liters of water, and THRIVE checks it off when you open the app. → YOUR MEMBER CARD Your Profile now carries a member card with your name, the month you joined and your T-score. Touch it and it turns under your finger and catches the light. Flip it over for your records: body stats, best lifts and testosterone markers. Pick one of four designs: Graphite, Ember, Crimson or Porcelain. → SEE YOUR PROGRESS A heatmap calendar color-coded by category shows your consistency over weeks and months. Spot the gaps. Fix them. → WORKS OFFLINE Check habits off with no signal. Everything syncs when you're back online. → YOUR SCHEDULE, YOUR RULES Set reminders, choose the days for each habit and adjust how often you do it. WHY THRIVE EXISTS Most habit trackers are built for productivity. THRIVE is built for men's health. Every default habit in the library supports hormonal health, metabolism or recovery. No guesswork. Just the evidence, turned into a routine you can stick to. BUILT FOR MEN WHO WANT MORE THRIVE is for the guy who's done reading articles and wants a system. The guy who knows cold showers work but needs the streak to keep showing up. Not someday. Starting today. PRIVACY No ads, and we never sell your data. Your Apple Health numbers stay on your iPhone: THRIVE only saves that the habit was done.

Stimuli

Most trackers treat every set the same. Stimuli is a hypertrophy training app that scores the real muscle-building work in each set you log, tracks how recovered every muscle is, and builds programs that progress with you. Train with intent, and know whether your training is working. SCORE EVERY SET Log weight, reps, and RIR (in 0.5 steps) and Stimuli scores the stimulus each set delivers to every muscle it trains, not just the ones in the exercise name. Rows credit your traps. Belt squats spare your lower back. The model knows the difference. SEE RECOVERY, PER MUSCLE A full-body muscle figure shows what is fresh, what is fatigued, and what is ready to train again, derived from the work you have actually logged. PROGRAMS THAT GROW WITH YOU Generate a program with AI that matches your schedule, equipment, experience, and muscle priorities, or build your own from scratch. Weekly progress keeps your plan honest, and targets update from your logged performance. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS Estimated 1RM trends per exercise, weekly volume per muscle, and session summaries show trajectory, not just history. Deload guidance is grounded in a sustained decline in your strength trend, never guesswork. BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR Fast set logging, rest timers, per-exercise technique cues with illustrations, bodyweight and weighted movements handled properly, kg and lb support, and history synced across your devices. Available in 13 languages. YOUR DATA, YOURS Your training history and analytics stay yours to browse even if your subscription ends, and you can delete your account, and everything with it, right from Settings. STIMULI PRO Stimuli runs on a Stimuli Pro subscription. Start with a free trial and get the full app: live workout sessions, AI program generation, per-muscle recovery, and all your analytics. Choose monthly or yearly. The subscription auto-renews until cancelled, and you can cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
