Feature Deep-Dive
An app named "Protocol Peptide Tracker" is identifiable to anyone who picks up your phone. Stealth Mode changes that.
One tap replaces the app icon with a generic shield. Nothing inside the app changes.

Peptide protocols are personal. The compounds involved occupy a gray area most people are not familiar with, and explaining what you are running to a colleague who glances at your phone is a conversation most users would rather not have.
Some users track compounds that carry professional consequences in certain employment contexts. Others work in healthcare and prefer keeping personal health decisions separate from their professional environment. Others simply value discretion as a principle, not because they have something to hide.
Stealth Mode does not judge the reason. It exists because the user should control what their phone reveals about their health decisions.
What changes
What does not change
Stealth Mode is a Protocol feature that replaces the app's icon and name on your home screen with a generic shield icon. It makes the app unidentifiable to anyone who picks up or glances at your phone. The change is cosmetic only — all functionality inside the app is identical whether Stealth Mode is on or off.
Peptide use occupies a complex regulatory and social space. Some users track compounds that carry professional consequences if discovered by a colleague or employer. Others simply prefer privacy around health decisions that involve compounds most people are unfamiliar with. Stealth Mode makes the app visible only to the person running the protocol.
No. Stealth Mode only changes the appearance of the app icon and name on your home screen. Inside the app, every feature works identically: dose logging, vial tracking, injection site map, reconstitution calculator, PK curves, Stack Score, and the research library are all unchanged.
No. Protocol is the only peptide tracking app with a stealth icon feature as of August 2026. DoseTrack, PeptIQ, PepTracker, Peptify, LynkDose, Shotlee, and Shotsy all display their branded app icon with no option to change it.
Yes. Stealth Mode is available on both iOS and Android versions of Protocol.
