Protocol is the ultimate lab app for your peptide cycles — a premium iOS tracker for people who treat their stack seriously. Log every injection in micrograms, ride the streak, and keep your reconstitution, injection technique, and safety guides one tap away. WHAT YOU CAN DO Build your stack - Add from a curated library of 25+ compounds: BPC-157, TB-500, Tirzepatide, Cagrilintide, Retatrutide, Semaglutide, GHK-Cu, CJC-1295 (no DAC), Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, Tesamorelin, NAD+, MOTS-c, Humanin, SS-31, AOD-9604, Pinealon, Selank, Semax, DSIP, PT-141, KPV, Thymosin alpha-1, VIP, SLU-PP-332. - Configure each entry: dose amount in micrograms, milligrams, or IU; frequency (daily, every other day, twice daily, post-workout, weekly, custom); a color tag; private notes. - Add custom compounds outside the library. Edit or pause any entry at any time. Log doses in one tap - The Today screen shows your full stack. Tap "Log" — the dose is recorded with the right amount, unit, and timestamp. - Mistapped? Undo the last log instantly. - A day badge shows how many doses you've taken for each peptide today (×1, ×2, ×3). Streaks and history - Streak counter on Today and Profile counts consecutive days with at least one dose. - "This week" and "All time" totals sit next to the streak. - Pull to refresh; everything syncs to the cloud the moment you tap. Reminders that match real protocols - Per-peptide reminders: pick times of day, days of week, AM/PM windows, post-workout cues. - Native iOS notifications, respectful of Do Not Disturb and Focus modes. - The Notifications screen logs every reminder fire and streak milestone in one feed. Built-in safety and how-to guide - 10 in-app chapters written for the peptide-curious and the long-cycle stacker: • Important disclaimer — what this app is and isn't • Your first cycle — where to start • Reconstitution — mixing lyophilized peptides safely • Injection technique (subQ) in 6 steps • Storage & shelf life — lyophilized vs reconstituted • Side effects — common, rare, and red flags • Stacking & cycling — combinations that make sense • Bloodwork to monitor — what to test and when • Sourcing & purity — how to verify what you're injecting • Legal status — know what's allowed where you live Tailored from day one - Onboarding asks two questions: what are you here for (recovery, longevity, performance, GH, cognitive, metabolic, sleep, sexual, immune, skin, weight loss) and your experience level (new, some experience, advanced). - Library and protocol suggestions adjust accordingly. Edit goals & experience anytime from your profile. Profile and identity - Display name, handle, bio, avatar. - At-a-glance stats: total doses logged, current streak, active goals. - Sign in with Email or Google. Privacy-first — no social feed, no public timeline, no follower count. WHAT'S INTENTIONAL - No ads, no social feed, no in-app purchases inside the tracker. - Your data stays yours. WHO IT'S FOR - People running 1–5 compounds at a time who keep their dose log in Notes and forget which vial they're three days into. - First-cycle users who want a clean reference for reconstitution and injection technique before they self-experiment. - Long-cycle stackers who want streaks, weekly volume, and full historical doses on tap. DISCLAIMER Peptide is a tracking and reference tool, not a medical device. Nothing in the app is medical advice or a prescription. Consult a qualified physician before starting any protocol.

Vialy is a personal tracking and calculator tool for adults using prescribed peptides. It handles the math so you do not have to. Free. No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. RECONSTITUTE WITH CONFIDENCE Scrub the BAC water amount and watch the dose, the concentration, and the syringe units update live. No more squinting at a calculator app between hand washes. PLAN YOUR PROTOCOL Build phases with custom durations, scheduled days (daily, 5-on-2-off, weekly, or anything custom), dose in milligrams, multiple dose times per day, and a grace window for missed doses. Vialy keeps track of where you are in the protocol and what is next. LOG INJECTIONS Tap to log a dose from a body map. Vialy remembers each site you have used and warms up the map with halos so rotation becomes automatic. No spreadsheet required. TRACK YOUR VIALS Each vial shows the doses remaining, the estimated days until empty, and the cost. Plan-backed vials are sorted by soonest-empty first; as-needed vials get their own simpler view. Archive a vial when it is retired and the stats stay with it. PEPTIDE REFERENCE LIBRARY A built-in catalog of common peptides with mechanism notes, half-life, storage guidance, common side effects, and contraindications. This information is for context only and is not medical advice. DOSE REMINDERS Optional local notifications at your scheduled dose times, plus a heads-up when a vial is running low so you have time to reorder. EXPORT YOUR DATA JSON or CSV from Settings, anytime. Your data is yours. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Sign in with Apple only - no passwords, no third-party logins - No tracking, no analytics, no advertising - No HealthKit access, no location, no camera, no contacts - Account deletion is one tap; your data is removed from our servers IMPORTANT Vialy is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. It does not replace your clinician. All doses are entered by you for personal reference only. Always follow the guidance of a licensed clinician who has prescribed your protocol.
