Stop guessing at the gym. Scan, find your growth zone, and know exactly what to lift next. HourglassAI turns three quick photos into an Hourglass Score and names the area with the most room to grow: upper glute, side glute, center glute or lower glute. Then it builds a 4-week glute plan around it, made for your gym, your equipment and your schedule, and coaches you set by set. YOUR FIRST SCAN IS FREE Take the quiz, scan, and see your Hourglass Score and growth zone before you pay anything. WHY IT WORKS - Built around your growth zone: it gets extra work every week, without making your sessions longer. - Progressive overload done for you: hit your reps and your next target goes up. Miss them and it holds. No spreadsheets, no guessing. - Proven glute builders: hip thrusts, RDLs, squats, split squats and side-glute work, picked for your level. - Deload weeks and comebacks after a break are built in. MADE FOR YOUR LIFE - Gym or home: barbell, dumbbells, machines, cables, bands or bodyweight. - 2 to 6 days a week, 30 to 75 minutes a session. - Easier swaps for sore knees, lower back or hips. - Daily protein and calorie targets for your goal, with foods that fit vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, dairy-free and gluten-free diets. SEE YOUR PROGRESS - Log a set in two taps, even offline in the gym. - Watch your lifts climb on the Progress tab. - Re-scan every two weeks to update your score. SCAN YOUR WAY Use the mirror, a hands-free voice timer with your front or back camera, or photos you already have. A framing box shows you exactly where to stand. YOUR PHOTOS STAY PRIVATE Photos are analyzed and never stored. Only your scores are saved. Delete your account and all your data any time from the Me tab. HourglassAI is for adults 18 and over. Your score is an estimate from your photos, not a measurement or a medical assessment. SUBSCRIPTION Your scan, your score and a look at your plan are free.

Track what you eat in seconds. EatSync uses AI to identify your food from a photo, understands Indian meals by name, and keeps your calorie and nutrition data private on your device — no account, no cloud, no subscription required to get started. SCAN YOUR FOOD WITH AI Point your camera at any meal and EatSync identifies it instantly — calories, protein, carbs, and fat included. Works on home-cooked Indian food, restaurant plates, packaged snacks, and everything in between. Can't take a photo? Just type "2 rotis with dal fry" and the AI figures out the rest. BUILT FOR INDIAN FOOD EatSync knows dal makhani, poha, idli, biryani, samosa, homemade sabzis, and hundreds more Indian staples out of the box — no searching required.
