Adding your first protocol

Open the Stack tab.

Tap Add to stack in the top corner, or Get Started when your stack is empty.

Use the search bar to find your compound, or pick one from Most common.

This guide uses Retatrutide.

Add a Nickname to label the protocol. Pick a Color to color-code it.

A nickname and a color make a protocol easy to recognize at a glance in your stack and on your reminders. This helps most when you run more than one at once.

Choose Scheduled with reminders when you take the compound on a regular cadence. The app reminds you when a dose is due and tracks how closely you keep to the schedule. Your adherence stays accurate.

Choose As needed for something you take irregularly, like a peptide you only use before a workout or when a symptom flares. Nothing is scheduled. You get no reminders, and no dose ever counts as missed.

This is a weekly protocol, which is what Scheduled with reminders is for.

Choose Track doses when you want a real record. Every dose you log is saved with its time and amount. That record powers your adherence. It also lets you connect a vial later so the app can track your supply.

Choose Reminders only when you just want a nudge at dose time. The reminders still fire. You give up the dose history and any supply tracking.

This guide uses Track doses.

Tap Method and pick how you take it. This guide uses Injection (Subcutaneous).

A rotation group cycles a protocol through only some of your injection sites.

Leave it on All sites for now. Setting up rotation groups has its own guide.

Specific amount lets you enter the dose in mg, mcg, or International Units. Units or pen clicks is for syringe marks or pen clicks when you do not know the amount.

Prefer mg or mcg whenever you can. When you later add a vial, the app turns a real amount into syringe units for you. It cannot do that from clicks alone.

International Units are not the same as syringe units. Pick the one your dose is written in.

Enter the amount under Prescribed dose and pick the unit next to it.

This guide uses 2 mg.

If your dose changes over time, turn on Step up dose over weeks and set each week's dose. The final week becomes your maintenance dose.

Skip this if your dose is the same every week.

Days repeats on the weekdays you choose.

Tap the days you dose on, then set the time.

Interval repeats every set number of days, no matter the weekday.

Enter how many days you want between doses.

Cycle repeats a block of days on followed by days off.

Enter the days on and the days off. The app repeats the cycle.

Starts defaults to today. Leave Ends blank to keep the protocol ongoing.

If you set an end date, the app stops scheduling doses after that day.

Tap Create in the top corner to save your protocol.
