Adding your first protocol
A protocol is the compound you take, how much, and how often. This guide builds a scheduled protocol for a weekly injection.
Start from the Stack tab
Open the Stack tab.
Tap Add to stack in the top corner, or Get Started when your stack is empty.
Pick your compound
Search for your compound or scroll to it in the list.
This guide uses Semaglutide, which is listed under Metabolic & Weight.
Name it and give it a color
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 how it is scheduled
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 what you track
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.
Pick the method
Tap Method and pick how you take it. This guide uses Injection (Subcutaneous).
Leave the rotation group on All sites
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.
Enter your dose
Under Amount, enter your dose and pick mg or mcg.
This guide uses 1.7 mg.
If your dose is written in International Units, tap Need International Units? under the card.
Add the draw if you know it
Draw is how far you draw on your syringe, in units. It is optional.
Enter it if you want to see it when you log a dose.
Step the dose up over weeks (optional)
If your dose changes over time, turn on Titration schedule and set each week's dose. The final week becomes your maintenance dose.
Skip this if your dose is the same every week.
Pick Days for specific weekdays
Days repeats on the weekdays you choose.
Tap the days you dose on, then set the time.
Pick Interval for a set gap between doses
Interval repeats every set number of days, no matter the weekday.
Enter how many days you want between doses.
Pick Cycle for days on and days off
Cycle repeats a block of days on followed by days off.
Enter the days on and the days off. The app repeats the cycle.
Set a start and end date
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.
Create the protocol
Tap Create in the top corner to save your protocol.
