Creating your first protocol

A protocol is one item you track over time (for example a medication, supplement or peptide).

Free Protocol supports up to three active protocols. Creating another active protocol requires Protocol Pro.

Open the add flow

1. Open Protocol.
2. Go to the Home tab and tap + (Add Protocol), or go to the Protocol tab and tap Add in the toolbar.
3. If you have no protocols yet, you can also tap Add your first protocol on Home.

Step 1 — Item & Dose

1. Optionally tap Choose from reference library, or Create a custom blend if you need a blend.
2. Enter the Protocol item name.
3. Enter the Starting dose and choose the unit (mg, mcg, IU, mL, tablet or unit).
4. Tap Continue.

Step 2 — Application

1. Under How is it used?, choose the Application method.
2. If Protocol asks for a syringe or device type, choose the matching option.
3. Tap Continue.

Step 3 — Preparation

1. Complete the preparation fields that appear for your method (for example ready-to-use liquid, powder mixed with diluent, or pen calibration).
2. Confirm label values carefully against the product or prescription you are following.
3. Tap Continue.

Step 4 — Schedule

1. Under When is it used?, choose Frequency (for example Every day, Every other day, Choose weekdays, or As needed).
2. Set Starts and Daily times (Once daily, Twice daily, Three times daily, or Custom times).
3. Optional: for each time, choose a Routine, No Routine, or Create New Routine…
4. Optional: turn on Dose reminder and choose Alert timing (At dose time, or before).
5. Optional: set Dose escalation if you use it.
6. Tap Continue.

Step 5 — Review

1. Read the Protocol summary.
2. Tap Add to Protocol.

What you should see afterwards

The wizard closes. The item appears in the Protocol tab. When it is due, it appears on Home under Today’s Protocol (unless you chose As needed).

If Protocol says you have reached the free active limit, end or pause an unused protocol, or upgrade to Protocol Pro.
