What a peptide tracker actually needs to do — and how Bodydex handles BPC-157, GLP-1s, TB-500, and other protocols. Updated April 2026.
Important
This page is informational. Bodydex is a tracking tool, not a medical device. We don't sell, recommend, or source compounds. Always work with a qualified health professional and follow your local laws before starting any peptide or medication protocol.
The short answer
Most people start tracking peptides in a notes app or spreadsheet, then abandon it by week three because there are no reminders, no reconstitution math, and no supply tracking. A real peptide tracker handles cycle templates, per-injection logging, dose math, and refill alerts — and ideally lives in the same app where you log food, weight, and training so you can actually see protocol effects. Bodydex is built for exactly this on iPhone, with all data stored locally on your device.
What to look for in a peptide tracker
Per-peptide cycle templates
Different compounds run on different cadences — BPC-157 daily for a few weeks, GLP-1s weekly with a titration schedule, TB-500 split-loaded then weekly. A real peptide tracker stores cycle metadata (length, start, taper) so you don't reinvent the schedule each cycle.
Dose units that match what you actually inject
Doses are typed in mcg, mg, IU, or ml depending on compound. The app should accept the unit you draw, not force a universal one.
Per-injection logging, not per-day
If you split AM/PM doses, your log needs to show two entries on that day. A 'one tap = today is logged' button is too coarse to see what actually happened.
Reconstitution math
Mixing a 5mg vial with 3ml of bac water and pulling 250mcg = how many units on a 100u U-100 syringe? A peptide tracker should answer that without making you reach for a calculator.
Refill / supply alerts
Running out mid-cycle is the most common protocol failure. The tracker should know your supply on hand and warn you with enough lead time to reorder.
Local-first data
Peptide use is sensitive personal data. A tracker that lives in a cloud database somewhere is one breach away from being a problem you don't want. Local-only storage on your phone is the safer default.
Companion data — diet, weight, training
Peptides interact with everything else: GLP-1s + diet, BPC-157 + training load, MK-677 + sleep + appetite. A protocol tracker that's also where you log food and weight gives you actual signal in one place.
How the common approaches stack up
Approach
Pros
Cons
Notes app / spreadsheet
Free, infinitely flexible, you own the data.
No reminders, no math, no graphs, no supply tracking. Editing past entries is brittle. Most people abandon the spreadsheet by week 3.
Generic reminder / habit app
Reliable push reminders.
No concept of cycles, doses, units, or supply. You're using a hammer for a screw — the data structure is wrong for protocols.
Pill tracker app (Medisafe, Round Health, etc.)
Reminder UX is solid; some have refill tracking.
Designed for prescription pills, not injection protocols. No reconstitution math, no peptide-specific units, no cycle/taper concept.
Bodydex (built-in peptide tracker)
Cycle templates, reconstitution math, per-injection logging, supply alerts, integrated with food + weight + training data, local-first storage.
iOS only right now (Android coming soon). No support for tracking labs/bloodwork yet — that's planned.
FAQ
Is Bodydex a medical device?
No. Bodydex is a tracking and journaling tool. It does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any condition. It does not provide medical advice. Always consult a qualified health professional before starting any peptide protocol.
Does Bodydex sell peptides?
No. Bodydex is software only. We do not source, sell, recommend vendors, or facilitate the purchase of any compound. Sourcing is your responsibility and is governed by your local laws.
Which peptides can I track in Bodydex?
Anything you can describe with a name, dose, unit, and schedule — BPC-157, TB-500, GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide), MK-677, CJC-1295, ipamorelin, supplements, vitamins, and prescription medications. The data model is generic; we don't restrict by compound name.
Where is my peptide log stored?
On your iPhone, in a local SQLite database. There is no Bodydex server-side database of your protocol. iCloud backup is at the OS level and follows Apple's standard encryption posture.
Can Bodydex remind me to inject?
Yes. You set per-protocol schedules (daily, alternate-day, twice-weekly, etc.) and Bodydex schedules local notifications on your device. Reminders fire even with the app closed.
Does the app handle reconstitution math?
Yes. Enter the vial size (mg) and bac water volume (ml), and Bodydex tells you how many units on a U-100 or U-40 syringe equals your target dose. You can save the result so you don't recalculate every dose.
Will my logs sync across devices?
Not yet. Each device's log is independent. Multi-device sync is on the roadmap; we're being deliberate about it because it changes the privacy posture.
