Log the shot. Eat for this part of the cycle. Watch weight and protein in one place. Built around the schedule you record, Ouro helps you organize each day without treating every day the same. It supports weekly injections, daily injections, and daily pills. KEEP YOUR ROUTINE CONNECTED • Medication — Record doses, view your history, and receive optional reminders based on the schedule you enter. For injections, you can also log injection sites and track medication supply. • Meals — Get protein-forward meal ideas organized around your recorded schedule, appetite, preferences, and eating style. • Hydration — Log water and keep daily hydration progress visible. • Movement — Record movement and activity alongside the rest of your routine. • Symptoms and progress — Track symptoms, weight, and measurements, then review your history over time. LOG FOOD YOUR WAY Search foods, scan a barcode, use your voice, or take a photo of your plate. Photo-based calorie and macronutrient results are estimates, not precise measurements, and can be reviewed and edited before saving. SEE PATTERNS OVER TIME Review your recorded history across medication, meals, protein, hydration, symptoms, and weight. Ouro Plus adds weekly recaps and a shareable summary of the information you recorded to discuss with your healthcare provider. With your permission, Ouro can connect supported information with Apple Health. You control Apple Health access and can change it at any time. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH A Home Screen widget, Live Activity, and optional notifications can keep your next scheduled medication visible without requiring you to open the app. Ouro also includes a companion smartwatch app, and Siri shortcuts let you log water, record a weight, or ask about your next dose without unlocking your phone. CORE TRACKING AND OURO PLUS Core medication, food, hydration, movement, weight, and symptom tracking does not require Ouro Plus. Ouro Plus adds week-ahead meal planning, the complete recipe library, grocery lists, additional photo meal estimates, weekly recaps, and prescriber summaries. Subscription and lifetime purchase options are available. Features and purchase terms are shown before purchase. Ouro may display an educational medication-pattern estimate based on the medication events and schedule you record. It is not a measured medication level, dosage calculation, or recommendation. Ouro is a personal tracking and general wellness companion. It does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, recommend or adjust medication doses, or replace professional medical care. Always follow your medication label and the instructions of your prescriber or pharmacist. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before making medical decisions. Your routine, in one loop.
