Get Protocol Set Up in Under 5 Minutes

Setting up a peptide tracker app shouldn't take longer than actually running your protocol. Most users waste time jumping between multiple apps to log doses, track progress, and calculate reconstitution—losing data consistency and accountability in the process.

Protocol solves this in the first five minutes of onboarding. This tutorial walks you through the complete setup process so you can start dose logging immediately, whether you're running BPC-157, TB-500, GLP-1, TRT, or custom peptide stacks.

The onboarding wizard starts with foundational data—body weight and goal weight—which Protocol uses to track milestones as you progress. Next, you input personal metrics (sex and height) so health calculations are accurate to your physiology. This isn't generic tracking; it's personalized from day one.

Baseline progress photos are where most users see immediate value. Taking front, side, and back photos before your protocol starts gives you a visual reference point that numbers alone can't capture. You'll compare these against future photos as your protocol runs.

The peptide inventory feature pulls from Protocol's catalog of 49 compounds with pharmacokinetic data. Search for BPC-157, TB-500, or any peptide you're running—the app builds your personal stack so dose logging stays organized and connected to the right compounds.

The protocol builder itself offers 15 ready-made templates or full customization. You can set up peptide protocols, supplement stacks for vitamins and minerals, or habit protocols for variables like sleep and hydration. Everything ties together in one dashboard.

Apple Health integration (iOS) means your steps, heart rate, HRV, and sleep data sync automatically. Protocol writes your weight and body measurements back, making it the central hub for all health data—no manual re-entry.

Finally, the AI Research Assistant handles peptide research, dosing guidance, protocol design, and trend analysis. Free users get 5 queries monthly; Pro subscribers get 50. This is where the real optimization happens.

The entire setup takes under five minutes. Everything you skip can be updated anytime in settings or the progress tab.
