HabitStack helps you build a morning routine that actually sticks. Instead of tracking habits in isolation, you stack small new habits onto the anchors you already do — your first coffee, brushing your teeth — so the whole routine flows in order and nothing gets forgotten. STACK HABITS ONTO ANCHORS Start from something you already do every morning, then stack new habits before or after it. Reorder the stack, set a duration and reminder per step, and build a sequence that feels natural. RUN YOUR MORNING AS A FLOW The Morning Run walks you through the stack one step at a time, so you move through the routine instead of staring at a checklist. A FORGIVING STREAK Keep one streak for the whole routine — with a built-in grace day, skip, and freeze, because one missed morning shouldn't erase weeks of progress. SEE WHAT'S REALLY STICKING The Momentum Engine scores how automatic each routine is becoming and estimates when it could feel effortless — an estimate grounded in habit research, never a promise. Watch your streak calendar and consistency trends build over time. HABITSTACK PRO (optional subscription) The routine builder, morning run, streak, and calendar are free. Pro unlocks multiple routines, your complete history, per-habit consistency, best-time-of-day and weakest-link insights, and shareable weekly reports. - $4.99/month or $29.99/year, with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.

Layerly is a calm, organized home for your supplements, medications, and peptides, giving you a clear view of your daily routine and how it all fits together. If your routine has grown past what you can hold in your head, Layerly makes it easier to see what you're taking, when you're taking it, and where things may overlap. THE LAYERS OF YOUR ROUTINE Keep your supplements, medications, and peptides organized with the ingredients, doses, schedules, brands, and reasons you take them. Add a supplement simply by taking a photo of the Supplement Facts label, or enter it manually. Search your stack anytime and quickly find what you need. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TAKING AND WHEN See your routine organized by morning, midday, evening, and bedtime. With a tap, mark each dose taken or skipped, see your 7-day adherence, and use optional reminders to help you stay on track. See when you're running low so you know when a refill may be coming up. SEE HOW IT ALL FITS TOGETHER Layerly brings the different parts of your routine into one clear picture. Your 0–100 Clarity Score looks at ingredient overlaps, interactions and timing, adherence, and how completely your stack is set up. See each area individually, along with the findings behind it, so you know what may be worth a closer look. SPOT OVERLAPS AND UPPER LIMITS See when the same ingredient appears across multiple products. Layerly adds up the amounts across your stack and compares the total with published Tolerable Upper Intake Levels from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, making overlaps easier to spot. COST AND SPEND See your estimated monthly spend, including costs associated with ingredients that overlap across multiple products. TIMING AND INTERACTION AWARENESS Layerly highlights well-documented interaction and timing considerations across your stack, including common absorption concerns and drug-supplement cautions, with helpful context and topics you may want to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist. CONNECT YOUR ROUTINE TO HOW YOU FEEL Use daily check-ins to notice patterns between your routine and how you feel over time. BRING IT TO YOUR APPOINTMENT Create a clear summary of your stack, doses and adherence to share with your doctor or pharmacist. WHAT'S FREE Up to 15 items, the full daily routine, reminders, adherence, refill projections, your Clarity Score and how many overlaps and signals were found, plus three AI actions a day. LAYERLY PRO (optional subscription) - Every overlap and upper-limit figure in detail - Every interaction and timing note, with prioritized insights - The shareable report for your provider - Effect correlations from your daily check-ins - Cost and Spend insights, including ingredient overlaps - Unlimited items and unlimited AI Monthly or annual, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; it auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple account Settings. ABOUT THE AI When you photograph a label, the photo is sent to be read and is never stored - only the text it contains is kept. Layerly can also write a short plain-language note about an item you have saved. It is generated from that item's own fields. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Layerly is an educational and organizational tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it does not tell you what to take or how much. Insights about overlaps, interactions and timing are general awareness grounded in public references. Peptides are organizer-only - no dosing or sourcing guidance. Always talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before changing any supplement or medication.
