Getting started
Protocol Unlocked · about 5 minutes
Protocol Unlocked tracks your peptides and hormones (doses, vials, injection sites), plus workouts, food, weight, bloodwork and how you feel. It runs like an app from your iPhone's Home Screen: nothing to download from the App Store.
1Open this page in Safari
The Home Screen step only works in Safari. If you tapped the link inside Gmail or another app, open it in Safari first: look for the compass or "Open in Safari", or copy the address below into Safari.
2Add it to your Home Screen
- a.Tap the Share button. On iOS 26, tap at the bottom right first, then Share.
- b.Scroll down (or tap View More) and tap Add to Home Screen.
- c.Leave Open as Web App on if you see it, and tap Add.
- d.From now on, open it from the gold Protocol icon on your Home Screen, not from Safari.
Android: in Chrome, tap ⋮ and choose "Install app" or "Add to Home screen".
3Sign in
- a. Open the app from your Home Screen and sign in with your email and the temporary password from your invite email.
- b. Read the short safety notice and tap I understand.
- c.A one-minute tour walks you through each area. You can replay it any time from Settings.
4Make it yours
- a. Change your password: on Today, tap the gear (top right) to open Settings, type a new password (10+ characters) and tap Change password.
- b. Turn on reminders: in Settings → Reminders, turn them on and allow notifications, to get a nudge for check-ins and doses.
- c.Add your details: Health → Body → "Height, age & goal" so weight results and Helix's answers fit you.
What's where
Start from the Library
Protocols → Library has about 50 peptides and hormones with research, dosing and cautions. "Start protocol" fills in a schedule you can adjust, with titration steps and on/off cycles. Or tap "New protocol" to build your own.
Vials and the calculator
Add your vials under Protocols → Inventory (mg in the vial and the water you added). Each dose then shows how many units to draw on an insulin syringe, and the app tracks what is left and when to reorder. New to mixing or pens? Beginner guides, at the top of the Library, walk through it step by step.
Today
Today's doses. Tap one to mark it taken: it suggests an injection site you haven't used lately. The buttons up top log a dose you take now and then (Dose), food, a workout, a check-in or a weigh-in. Switch to Calendar to see what's coming.
Health
A quick daily check-in (energy, sleep, mood, side effects), your weight and your blood tests. Under Labs, photograph or upload a lab report and it fills in the results for you to check.
Train and Food
Train: pick a ready-made plan or build your own; your last weights fill in for you. Food: scan a barcode, search, or just describe a meal (or snap a photo) and it works out the macros.
Ask Helix
Helix is the built-in AI. Ask about any compound, your labs or your plan. It can draft a protocol, log doses you forgot ("I took 250 mcg BPC-157 every day last week"), and estimate a meal. It can also coach you toward a goal: set one under Goals on Today (or ask Helix), and it proposes a few small commitments each week and writes a weekly note. It can be wrong, so check what it says. Each account gets $5 of questions a month.
Good to know
- Your data is private to your account. Nobody else using the app can see it.
- It works without signal (at the gym, say): doses, sets, food and check-ins save once you're back online.
- The reconstitution calculator works even without signing in.
- Helix has a $5 monthly allowance per account. The chat shows how much you've used.
Protocol Unlocked is a personal tracking tool, not medical advice. It doesn't diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and it doesn't replace a doctor.
Many compounds in the Library are research chemicals, not approved for human use. Doses marked "community" come from anecdotal reports, not studies. Helix is an AI and can be wrong: check anything it says before acting on it.
The calculator does the math you give it. Double-check the vial size, water and dose yourself before every injection. Talk to a doctor before starting, changing or stopping anything, and get your bloodwork reviewed by one.
If something feels wrong, stop and get medical help. In an emergency, call 911.
