The workout planner that decides your workout for you, plus a calorie and protein tracker that logs a meal from a photo. Four movements. Two numbers. That's the whole app, and it's deliberately the whole app. Compound is for the people who are tired of picking. Tired of starting a 12-week program and abandoning it in week three. Tired of losing the weight and not liking what's underneath. Tired of reading fourteen Reddit threads to decide what to do at the gym today. What you get - A strength training plan built on four movement patterns — squat, hinge, push, pull — sized to how many gym days a week you can actually show up. Open the app and today's workout is already decided. - Progression handled for you. Pick your variations, log the set, and the plan adjusts. - A protein target and a calorie target. Two numbers, not a dashboard of macros. If you're on a GLP-1 (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, Zepbound®), the protein target is set higher so the weight you lose isn't muscle. - A meal scanner: point your phone at your plate, or scan a barcode, or search. Logged in seconds. - Progress that shows what changed across weeks and months, not what you did yesterday. - A friends layer for the handful of people you actually train with. Opt-in per post, private by default. Not a feed for influencers. What you don't get A 40-exercise menu, macros of macros, streak guilt, or notifications nagging you to grind. Who it's for People rebuilding after weight loss who want a strong body underneath, not just a smaller one. Lifters who have program-hopped through five plans in two years. Beginners who would rather show up and execute than spend the week deciding what to do. Hip thrust and RDL are first-class hinges here, not afterthoughts. Most lifters who stuck with it for years quietly figured out that strong people don't actually do that many different exercises. Compound is built on that. Seven days free. Cancel anytime. Stop picking. Start compounding. Terms of use: https://compoundfit.app/terms
