ForgeFox brings training, nutrition, recovery and personal health tracking into one clear daily view. TODAY AND FORGE FOCUS See sleep, recovery, meals, training and your medication or supplement schedule together. Forge Focus highlights a useful next action and lets you open the data behind it. TRAIN WITH A REAL PLAN โ€ข Follow a structured session with a clear exercise blueprint and recent workout history. โ€ข Log sets with RPE or reps in reserve, rest timing, supersets and progression cues. โ€ข Add a walk or run to a session, or start a moving workout with a paired Apple Watch. โ€ข Review muscle balance, training rhythm, strength and plateaus. LOG LESS. KNOW MORE. โ€ข Track calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, fibre and micronutrients. โ€ข Capture a meal from a photo, barcode, search or description, then review it before saving. โ€ข See meal targets, water and saved foods together. RECOVERY YOU CAN USE Connect Apple Health if you choose. ForgeFox uses received sleep, HRV, resting heart rate and other available signals to explain recovery and guide training. Missing readings stay unavailable. A check-in adds personal context without changing the sensor-based Recovery score. HEALTH AND BODY METRICS Log weight, body composition, waist, blood pressure and bloodwork. Explore dated readings and detailed trends, including their sources where available. FORGE INTELLIGENCE Ask questions grounded in your logged training, nutrition and recovery context. Supported Apple on-device intelligence is available when your device supports it. Optional Forge Pro features use an App Store subscription and send only the content needed for the request you choose. YOUR WEEK, MADE USEFUL The ForgeFox Index brings six pillars into one readable score. Detailed charts and ForgeFox Weekly show what moved and what to carry forward. CREW MISSIONS Join an invite-only Crew, choose a weekly movement mission, and share a completion percentage and active-day count. Cheer other members, report or block someone, leave a Crew, or delete your community profile in settings. MEDICATION & SUPPLEMENT TRACKING Organize existing medications and supplements, reminders, adherence history and supply. ForgeFox tracks the plan you already follow; it does not prescribe or design treatment. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Core training, nutrition and health tracking need no account. Your local database stays on your device unless you choose to share or export data or create a backup. Optional Crew Missions creates a community profile and shares your chosen display name and weekly mission progress with invited members, not underlying workouts, Apple Health samples or routes. Apple Health and Forge Pro are optional. Cloud intelligence is explained before use. ForgeFox provides educational information and personal tracking tools. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Consult a qualified professional for medical decisions.
