Highlights
  • AI Stack Analyzer for interaction warnings
  • Side-Effect Correlation Engine
  • Bloodwork OCR Scanner
  • Smart Reconstitution calculations
  • 42-Compound Database with research links
  • Protocol AI Chat for personalized advice
  • Interactive Stack Pharmacokinetics visualization

Most peptide apps are reminders with a calculator stapled on. You're running a stack — BPC, CJC, Ipamorelin, Reta, maybe TRT alongside it — at $300–400 a month. And the best tool for managing it is a Notes app you forgot to update, a spreadsheet that lost your reconstitution dates, or a peptide tracker one user called "primitive" in the age of AI. COMPOUND is the protocol intelligence layer for serious operators. Built on actual pharmacology and peer-reviewed research. Not a timer. Not a generic medication app. The instrument your stack deserves. AI STACK ANALYZER* Drop in your full protocol — BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, GHK-Cu, MK-677, Tesamorelin, Retatrutide, testosterone, anastrozole, hCG. The AI surfaces interaction warnings, timing conflicts, redundant pathway flags, and absorption issues. Every warning cites peer-reviewed research. Re-runs on any protocol change. The exact problem Andrew Huberman called out: "make sure you're not redundantly hitting a pathway." SIDE-EFFECT CORRELATION ENGINE* Log quick daily symptoms. The AI maps every symptom against your dose timeline and surfaces patterns you couldn't find yourself. Insomnia tracking back to evening CJC dosing. Nausea aligned with a specific titration. Mood shifts that correlate with E2 troughs. BLOODWORK OCR SCANNER* Photograph lab results — Marek, Defy, Quest, Labcorp, anywhere. The AI extracts every marker (free T, total T, E2, IGF-1, CRP, AST/ALT, A1C, lipids, hematocrit) and maps them on your protocol timeline. See what's actually working in your bloodwork. For every TRT operator told they're "in range" while symptoms persist: this is the receipts. SMART RECONSTITUTION Stepped input or natural language*. "10mg vial, I want 250mcg twice daily." Get exact syringe markings, vial duration, BUD tracking, and storage instructions. No more mental math at 6am. 42-COMPOUND DATABASE Every entry includes half-life, mechanism of action, primary research areas, key studies with PubMed links, regulatory status, common protocols, and known interactions. Written for people who take the science seriously. PROTOCOL AI CHAT* Ask anything about YOUR stack. Every answer is grounded in your own protocol data, your own symptom log, your own bloodwork — not in a generic ChatGPT response that doesn't know what you're running. INTERACTIVE STACK PHARMACOKINETICS* See your full stack on a serum concentration curve. Drag dose timing to watch coverage shift across the day. Stack cycles calendar. Cross-cycle comparison. Smart restart assessment. ALSO INCLUDED - Dose logging with site rotation and timing analysis - Symptom journal with pattern detection - Vial inventory and supply alerts - Protocol management (unlimited stacks) - Daily reminders and dose notifications - Home screen widget and Live Activities WHO COMPOUND IS FOR - Biohackers running multi-compound peptide protocols - TRT operators tired of being told they're "in range" - Reta and tirzepatide users who want more than a shot tracker - Anyone who refuses to guess with $300/month of compounds - Researchers who already built the spreadsheet — and want it on their phone, smarter PRIVACY Anonymous authentication. No ad-tech. No tracking SDKs. No data resale. We don't sell your data. IMPORTANT COMPOUND is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. All analysis is informational, based on published pharmacological research and community data. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting or modifying any protocol or medication. * Requires COMPOUND PRO subscription.

PeptideMax is the fastest way to stay on top of a peptide protocol — built for people who are tired of spreadsheets, syringe math, and missed doses. YOUR NUMBERS, CONVERTED Enter what's on your vial, the bacteriostatic water you add, and the dose from your own protocol. PeptideMax instantly shows your concentration, exactly how many units to draw on your syringe, and how many doses your vial holds. A converter, not a guide — the app never suggests compounds, doses, or schedules. SCHEDULES THAT MATCH REAL PROTOCOLS Daily, weekly, specific days, every-N-days, on/off cycles, and multi-phase plans that change over time. Set it once — your home screen always knows what's next. REMINDERS THAT WORK A heads-up before each dose, an alert at dose time, and a follow-up if you haven't logged it. Log from the notification in one tap. SEE WHAT'S IN YOUR SYSTEM An estimated in-body level curve based on your logged doses and each compound's half-life, so you can see peaks and troughs at a glance. STAY CONSISTENT Streaks, a week strip, and a monthly calendar of logged, scheduled, and missed doses. Injection-site rotation tracking included. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Dose history and health details are stored on your device — there is no PeptideMax server holding your data. PeptideMax is a tracking tool, not medical advice. Dosing decisions belong to you and your healthcare provider. Requires a subscription. Terms of Use (EULA): https://usepeptidemax.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://usepeptidemax.app/privacy
