Start a new cycle
In the bottom bar of the app, tap Cycles. This tab lists all your cycles — the Active ones in progress and the Archived ones that are over.
Tap the Add button and choose New cycle. Registration is a sequence of screens: one question at a time, and you can go back to fix any answer before saving.
The first question is “What's the name of your cycle?”.
Give your cycle a name
Enter a Cycle name you will recognize later, such as “Bulking 2025” or “Recomp Jan”. The name shows up in the cycle list, on the Home card and in the history — so pick something descriptive.
Tap Continue to move on. A blank name (or spaces only) is not accepted: the button only unlocks once something is typed. The screen also reminds you why it matters: the name helps you identify and remember each phase of your journey.
What's the name
of your cycle?
It helps you identify this cycle in your list.
Add compounds, protectors and PCT
On the products step, the app offers three buttons: Add compound, Add protector and Add PCT. All three lists come from the Health tab: only items registered there show up. If the product you want is missing, leave the builder, register it under Health → Components and come back — your draft stays where you left it.
The compound is the main product of the cycle, built with the phase structure (Ramp-up, Plateau and Wind-down) explained in the next step. The protector — which helps reduce unwanted side effects during the cycle — has a simpler setup, with no phases: a start date, an optional finish date, the days of the week it runs on and the dose — the same for every day or a different one per day. The PCT (post-cycle therapy) lives in its own list, uses the same phase builder as compounds and can only start after the cycle ends.
For any of the three, the app first asks between single or combine. Combining joins two or more injectables in the same syringe, in one application — and, for compounds, the phase structure then applies to all of them.
Single or combine?
Before picking the product, the app asks how you will apply it:
- Single: one product at a time — oral or injectable, with its own phases and times. This is the default flow.
- Combine: two or more injectables in the same syringe and the same application. Parenteral products only.
When combining, the phase structure is shared: one Ramp-up, Plateau and Wind-down sequence applies to every combined product, and there is a single application. Each product keeps its own volume inside the syringe, though — set in the application step.
The decision covers the whole block: there is no “uncombine” later without redoing the setup.
Organize the phases
After picking the product, the app asks how the dose will change over time. The shape screen has two sections.
Period: the start date and the finish date (optional). With no finish, the field reads “No end date” and the product stays open until you edit it.
Dose adjustments: two yes/no questions, exactly like this in the app:
- “Will you increase the dose gradually at the start?” — the Ramp-up. Answering yes, set until when: in weeks, days or an exact date.
- “Will you decrease the dose gradually at the end?” — the Wind-down. Answering yes, set when it starts and how long it lasts — also weeks, days or an exact date.
If you answer no to both, only the Plateau remains: a constant dose from start to finish, at the peak. It is the most common shape for simple cycles — and the default when the screen opens.
With a Wind-down active, the finish date becomes automatic: the app computes it from the phases and warns you before replacing a date you entered manually.
The phase rules
The app validates the structure as you go, so the plan always makes sense:
- Plateau is required between Ramp-up and Wind-down — and only one is allowed per compound: it is the peak, and a peak does not vary.
- The end date is part of the phase. If a phase ends on day 10, the next one can only start on day 11.
- When you move a phase, the app asks “Adjust the next phases?” — tapping yes slides everything after it along, with no gaps or overlaps.
- Repeated phases are allowed in the timeline — say, two Plateau blocks with a new Ramp-up between them.
On each phase's timeline you can copy the configuration of an already-set phase instead of doing it all again — the app offers starting from an existing phase or from blank.
Doses and times for oral products
Tablets, capsules and pills open the New dose form — “choose the days and set up the doses”:
- Pills per dose: how many units you take at once.
- Doses per day: sets the interval between times — two doses a day means a 12-hour gap; four means every 6 hours.
- First dose time: the remaining ones are calculated from here, automatically.
- Cross midnight: lets the following doses land on the next day — useful for every-6-hours schedules that run past midnight. Off, every dose stays within the same day.
Right below, a preview shows the calculated dose times: how many doses a day, at what interval, and which one falls on the next day — all before saving.
For the days of the week the product runs on, use the All days, Weekdays or Custom presets. And the dose can be the same for every day (filled once) or different per day, configured day by day.
New application: where and by which route
Injectable products open the New application screen. At the top sit the compound — name, laboratory and route, oral or parenteral — and the period, with start and finish. Then comes the site setup:
- Anatomical site: picked from a searchable catalog — type to find (glute, deltoid and so on).
- Side: left, center or right.
- Route: intramuscular or subcutaneous.
This combination — site, side and route — is what comes back day to day: when you log the application, the app shows exactly where and how to apply, for you to check.
Same site, rotation or per day
In the Sites section you choose how applications spread across the selected days — and each mode works differently:
- Same site: every application at the same spot. Simple, but the app warns you: the same spot every day can cause irritation — consider rotating.
- Rotation: you build the list of sites in the rotation, and the order is yours — drag to reorder, add or remove sites from the sequence. A preview shows how they will be distributed across your application days. Each rotation slot has its own site, needle and volume; the time is single for the application.
- Per day: a specific site for each day of the week — tap the day to configure it. Heads-up: days left without a site are skipped — the app shows how many are empty and leaves those days out of the schedule.
How to decide? Rotation is recommended for frequent injections — it gives the tissue time to rest. Same site suits rare applications. Per day is for a fixed routine where you want exact control of each day's site.
Needles, syringe, volume and time
Inside each application's setup you define the supplies:
- Injection needle: the one that injects — from your needle list in Health.
- Syringe: also from your list, picked by its volume in mL.
- Volume: how much of that product goes in the syringe. In combinations, each compound keeps its own volume — the app adds it all up inside the same application.
- Time: the time of the application on the day.
By default, the same needle draws the liquid from the vial and injects. For a cleaner technique, turn on “Different needle to draw up?”: you pick a separate needle — usually a wider one, to pull the liquid effortlessly — and still inject with the thin one. In combinations, you can set one draw-up needle for every compound or one per compound.
Protectors: a simplified flow
Protectors have their own flow, simpler than compounds — no phases, no Ramp-up or Wind-down:
- Period: a start date and an optional finish date.
- Days of the week: which days it runs on, with the All days, Weekdays and Custom presets.
- Doses: same dose for every selected day (filled once) or a dose per day, configured day by day.
Injectable protectors get their own application screen, with the same site modes: same site, rotation — with drag-to-reorder and a distribution preview — or per day.
They can also be combined: two or more parenterals in the same syringe and application.
Plan the PCT
The PCT (post-cycle therapy) is built with the Add PCT button, using the same phase structure as compounds — and the date suggested by the app is based on the compounds with a planned end date.
The difference is in the date validations, on two levels:
- Hard block: the PCT can only start after the cycle ends — the app won't even let you save before that.
- Clearance warning: if the date lands right after the last dose of a long ester, the app warns that the compound is still being cleared — it keeps suppressing natural production for weeks — and that a PCT starting there may not work. You adjust the date or tap “Continue anyway”, if you know what you are doing.
Combining exists for PCT too: two or more parenteral compounds in the same syringe.
Review and save
Before tapping Save cycle, review the whole plan: name, products, phase dates, doses, times and the supplies for each application.
The button validates everything at once:
- At least one compound configured — protectors and PCT alone don't make a cycle.
- No incomplete compounds: if one is half-done, the app points it out and asks whether to discard it before saving.
- Phases without overlaps, with Plateau following the rules.
- PCT starting after the cycle ends.
Saved? The cycle joins the Active list, the doses get a schedule and the Home screen already shows the card with the current phase. The next guide covers the day to day from there.
If something goes wrong
Do I really need a separate draw-up needle?
It's not required. By default the same needle draws and injects; a separate one (usually wider) is a technique choice, so the thin needle isn't dulled pulling liquid from the vial.
Rotation or same site: which one?
For frequent injections prefer rotation — repeating the same spot can irritate the tissue, and the app itself shows that warning. Same site usually fits rare applications.
I can't continue past the name
Check that the Cycle name field is filled in. A name of only spaces is not accepted.
I can't save without a compound
Add at least one compound and finish its configuration before saving. Protectors and PCT alone do not count.
The app says my phases overlap
Check the start and end dates of the phases for the same compound. The end date is still part of the previous phase.
The app asks for a Plateau
Ramp-up and Wind-down need a Plateau between them, and only one Plateau is allowed per compound — it is the peak, and it does not vary.
My PCT is not accepted (or shows a strange warning)
The PCT must start after the cycle ends — that one is a block. If the warning is about a long ester still clearing, it is only an alert: adjust the date or continue if you know what you are doing.
