Peppers is a peptide protocol tracker. It keeps your doses, schedules, inventory, and reference material in one place — organized, private, and easy to read. Built for people already running a protocol who are tired of spreadsheets. WHAT YOU CAN DO Log every dose Record what you took, how much, where, and when. Your full history stays searchable. Calculate doses without guessing Four calculators handle reconstitution, dose volume, BAC water, and blends. Pick a vial from your own inventory and the math uses its real numbers, so there is nothing to retype. See your levels over time A chart models each compound's concentration from your logged doses and its half-life. Compare amounts in mg and mcg, or compare shapes as a percentage of peak. Stay on schedule Build weekly protocols and get reminders. A consistency streak shows how you are tracking. Know what you have Track vials, mg remaining, syringes, and BAC water. A separate freezer list holds what is not reconstituted yet, and moving a vial out updates your inventory automatically. Track cycles and side effects Log cycles with start and end dates. Note side effects with timing, so patterns are visible later. READ THE RESEARCH 91 reference guides, one for every compound and blend in the app. Each guide runs eleven sections and cites its sources. Where a dose comes from a study, the guide names the species it was studied in. Where a range comes from community use, it says so plainly, in its own block, so you are never left guessing which one you are looking at. Half-lives are honest. Nineteen compounds have no established half-life in the literature, and the app says exactly that rather than inventing a number. The library covers peptides, nootropics, and supplements, with filters by category and route. YOUR COACH TAB Insights built from your own logs: schedules you have drifted from, inventory running low, side effects clustering around a particular time. It is a rule engine, not a chatbot. It reads your data and reports patterns. It will never suggest a dose or tell you what to take. PRIVACY Your tracking data stays on your device. Doses, schedules, inventory, cycles, and notes are stored locally, not on our servers. Signing in is optional — the whole app works as a guest. PEPPERS PRO Pro unlocks: • Every insight, not just the first two • The full guide for each compound you run • Side-effect timing patterns across your logs • Cost per dose, per mg, and monthly spend • Restock forecasts with order-by dates • No ads and no promo cards anywhere in the app Peppers Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, available monthly, every three months, or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ IMPORTANT Peppers is a reference and tracking tool. It is not medical advice. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe, and it does not tell you what to take. The compounds it covers are research compounds and are not approved for human consumption. Talk to a qualified clinician about your protocol.

Polypep is a calm, on-device companion for peptide education and self-tracking. EDUCATIONAL FRAMING Polypep is for educational and personal-recordkeeping purposes only. It is not medical advice, does not dispense or sell any compound, and references publicly available information about peptides commonly discussed in wellness communities. Always consult a licensed clinician before considering any of the compounds referenced. CORE FEATURES • Peptide library with curated reference cards (mechanism summaries, common protocols cited in published literature, half-life notes) — always paired with the educational disclaimer. • Intake log: record dose, route, injection site, and time. Designed for thumb-only logging. • Active protocol view: pick a preset protocol or define your own, with reconstitution math (BAC water + concentration → units on a syringe) and a phase-based dose calendar. • Stock & inventory: track which vials you have on hand and project how long they last at your current cadence. • Biomarker dashboard: optionally pull sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, weight, body fat, and glucose from Apple Health to chart trends alongside your protocol. • Streak & adherence metrics: see week-by-week consistency without nagging. • Your Journey: a running record of what you did and how it went, with notes and photos. • Knowledge base: illustrated guides on injection technique, reconstitution, storage, syringes and units, cycling, and travelling with peptides. • Per-peptide dosing and bloodwork reference: titration tables, reconstitution assumptions, and the labs commonly watched alongside each compound, each with its evidence tier. • Coach: an optional assistant that can read your protocol, stock and log and answer questions about them — dose arithmetic, what runs out first, what you logged last week. Educational only; it does not give medical advice. PRIVACY • Local-first. Your doses, stock, biomarkers and protocols are stored on your device, and the app works fully without an account. • An account is optional. Sign in and your own records sync privately between your own devices, in storage only your account can read. Publishing a protocol shares the recipe only — never your log. • Apple Health access is optional and granted per data type. Health data is never sold, never used for advertising, and never shared with third parties. • Coach and vial-label scanning send data off your device, and only when you use them. Every Coach tool is governed by permissions you control; reads can be switched off and writes default to asking first. DESIGN A Liquid-Glass-inspired interface with calm typography, animated gradients, and a one-thumb information architecture. Built in Ionic React + Capacitor. EDUCATIONAL ONLY — NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Many peptides referenced in this app are research compounds or prescription-only medications in many jurisdictions. Polypep does not encourage acquisition or use; it is a journal and learning tool for people who have already decided, with their clinician, to track their own logs. Consult a licensed professional for any health decision. PLANS Polypep is free to log doses and browse the catalogue. Pro adds vial and stock tracking, unlimited protocols, the full peptide entries and the knowledge base. Ultimate adds Coach. Subscriptions renew until cancelled and are managed in your App Store account.
