BPC-157 every day, reta once a week, TRT twice a week. You keep it in the Notes app and a stack of alarms, and you still wonder whether you already took it. COMPOUND keeps each compound on its own schedule, reminds you when a dose is due, and shows at a glance whether this week's dose is done. Built for peptides first. TRT fits just as well. WHAT COMPOUND PRO INCLUDES - A schedule for each compound: daily, twice a day, every other day, two or three times a week, weekly, every two weeks, monthly, cycles with breaks, or as needed. Blends included. - Reminders at your dose times, and a home screen widget with your next dose. - A dose log with date, time and injection site, and a history of everything you logged. - A body map of your injection sites that suggests the next site in your rotation. - Your supply at a glance: what's left of each one, and a heads-up when it runs low. - Where each one came from: the vendor, pharmacy or clinic, and a lot or batch number if you want one. Past sources are one tap away, and once you add a source, the doses from that supply show it. - Labels: make one from what you entered, with the name, its number in your supply and the date, plus the source if you switch it on. Pick one of five sizes, then share it as an image or copy the text into your label printer's app. - Symptom check-ins, so how you feel sits next to what you took. - Bloodwork: enter a lab report by hand, or from a photo with AI turned on. See each marker against its range and what changed since your last panel. - The Library: 91 compounds and the studies on file for them. Depending on the research, a compound's page can show how it works and the side effects reported, and for some, who it was tested in and what the studies found. Plus guides to storage, rotating injection sites, and what to log and when. - AI, only if you turn it on: a daily brief, notes on patterns between your symptoms and your log, and answers to questions about your own records and the research. - Apple Health, if you allow it: sleep, HRV and resting heart rate next to your check-ins, and all of those plus workouts, weight and glucose in your daily brief. PRIVACY Anonymous sign-in, no account needed. No ads inside the app, and we never sell your data. Your doses, symptoms, bloodwork and Apple Health data are never shared with advertisers.

TruMac is a nutrition tracking app that adjusts for real-world variation in food labels. By applying evidence-informed corrections to calories and macros, it helps you track what you’re likely eating — not just what the label claims — making it easier to reach fat loss, muscle gain, and performance goals. Nutrition labels are estimates. FDA nutrition labeling regulations allow for a degree of variance between labeled and actual nutritional values — commonly referenced as up to 20% under certain conditions. Nutritional values can also vary based on sourcing, processing, preparation, and manufacturing consistency. If you’ve ever felt like you’re tracking everything correctly, staying consistent, hitting your calorie target, and the scale still isn’t moving the way you expected, variability in nutritional data may be part of the reason. TruMac helps you account for that variability. Scan a barcode and TruMac applies an evidence-informed adjustment model based on food category, processing level, and available nutritional data. Instead of relying on a single rigid number, TruMac helps you track using realistic estimated macro ranges designed to keep you aligned with your nutrition goals. Whether your goal is fat loss, maintenance, or performance, TruMac is built to help you stay closer to your intended calorie and macro targets — including helping reduce the risk of drifting outside your intended calorie range. No black box. No guesswork. What You Get * Barcode scanner — scan a product and view estimated macro ranges in seconds * Transparent adjustments — see how estimates are generated * Daily tracking — monitor calories and macros against your personal goals * Flexible views — compare manufacturer-reported values alongside TruMac estimates Our Approach TruMac does not replace nutrition labels or claim official laboratory accuracy. It is an educational and nutrition-tracking tool designed to help users better understand potential variability in nutritional data. Subscription TruMac Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. Its price and length are shown in the app before you purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase, and it renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
