Hit your protein target — and watch yourself get better at it. Protein Hunter makes logging fast: type what you ate, scan a barcode, or photograph your plate. Every meal counts toward targets that are actually yours, and every gram of protein earns XP for your Hunter. LOG A MEAL IN SECONDS • Type it — any food or dish, spelling slips and UK words included • Scan it — barcode a packet, +25 XP • Snap it — photograph your plate or a nutrition label for the macros • Say it — tap the mic and speak what you ate FIX ANYTHING THE CAMERA MISSED Open Edit ingredients on any result to change a weight, rename a part, remove a side, or add what no photo can see — the oil in the pan, the butter on the rice. Labels are read in kcal, never kilojoules. YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY Protein and calories lead, with carbs and fat beside them. Choose the look you like: Bento, 3D, Glass or Classic. Step through day, week, month and year, with your best day, longest streak and how often you hit target. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health and your workouts, steps and everyday movement come straight into your day — from Apple Watch, Garmin, WHOOP, Oura or anything else that saves to Apple Health. See last night's sleep, resting heart rate and HRV under your macros. Read only: Protein Hunter never writes to Apple Health, and your health data stays on your phone — it is never uploaded or backed up to iCloud. A COACH THAT CHEERS YOU ON • Daily quest — one meal with 30g+ protein, +50 XP • A tip for exactly what your day needs, like "130 g to go — 2 meals of ~65 g gets you there" • Optional reminders — meal ideas morning, lunch and dinner at times that learn your routine, a nudge when your day needs one, and a summary at night. The ones you skip come less often. LEVEL UP YOUR HUNTER Every gram of protein is a point, and every level is 500 XP, flat. Climb from Scout to Tracker to Stalker to Apex, and make your Hunter yours: skin, hair, build and kit. STREAKS THAT FORGIVE ONE MISSED DAY A shield absorbs one miss a week, automatically. No reset to zero over one dinner. TARGETS THAT ARE ACTUALLY YOURS Protein, carbs, fat and calories worked out from your height, age, activity and goal with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, with your BMR and TDEE shown. Kg or lb, cm or feet and inches — or type your own numbers. EATING OUT OR COOKING IN • Meals out — AI suggests specific high-protein dishes at restaurants near you, with Maps, Waze and delivery links • Recipes — cook from what you already have, with macros per serving YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account, no sign-up. Your log lives on your iPhone and is backed up to your own iCloud, so a new phone is not a fresh start. We never see it. BUILT TO BE HONEST • AI results are labelled — check restaurant hours before you go • Nutrition from USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts; estimates say so • Encouraging by design: no red, no shaming Free with ads. Premium removes ads, raises your daily limits and unlocks unlimited logging. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage them in Settings → your name → Subscriptions.

Slutt å gjette. Begynn å trene. De fleste som trener har ingen plan. De som har en, har som regel en mal. Den er laget for gjennomsnittet, ikke for deg, og den bryr seg ikke om at du har vondt i skulderen eller bare har 25 minutter i dag. Pulse er en AI-coach som lager treningsprogrammet ditt fra bunnen av, og som skriver det om når livet endrer seg. SLIK FUNGERER DET 1. Fortell coachen hvor du står: mål, erfaring, utstyr, skader, hvor mange dager du har. 2. Få et ekte program, uke for uke, med øvelser, sett, repetisjoner og progresjon. 3. Logg øktene dine. Coachen husker alt, og planen utvikler seg med deg. EN COACH SOM FAKTISK LYTTER Skriv «jeg fikk vondt i kneet i går» eller «jeg er bortreist til fredag, bare manualer», og programmet er oppdatert før du har lagt fra deg telefonen. Ingen skjemaer, ingen innstillinger å lete etter. Bare en samtale. Coachen kjenner treningshistorikken din. Den ser at benkpressen har stått stille i tre uker, at du droppet bein to ganger på rad, at du løftet tyngre enn sist. Og den sier fra. DETTE FÅR DU • Treningsprogram tilpasset deg, oppdatert ukentlig • Ubegrenset chat med coachen din • Øktlogg med sett, vekt og repetisjoner • Fremgangsoversikt som viser utviklingen over tid • Programarkiv, så du ser hva du faktisk har gjort FOR HVEM For deg som vil trene, men ikke vet hvor du skal begynne. For deg som har trent lenge og har stått stille i månedsvis. For deg som har vurdert personlig trener, men ikke synes det er verdt prisen. Norsk, laget av én person som var lei av å trene uten plan. ABONNEMENT Pulse månedlig: 199 kr per måned, fornyes automatisk til du sier opp. Nye kontoer får 7 dager gratis. Abonnementet følger kontoen din, i appen og i nettleseren. Vilkår: https://www.pulsecoach.no/terms · Personvern: https://www.pulsecoach.no/privacy HELSE OG ANSVAR Pulse gir treningsveiledning, ikke medisinske råd. Snakk med lege før du starter et nytt treningsprogram hvis du har en skade, en sykdom eller er i tvil. Har du spørsmål? Svar på e-posten du får fra oss. Det er jeg som leser den.
