New here? Start with this.

Peptides aren’t magic.
And they aren’t scary.

A plain-English starting point for anyone new to peptides, GLP-1s, or TRT. No jargon walls, no gatekeeping, no forum culture. Just the words, what they mean, and what to expect.

We explain the words. We never tell you what to take.

“I stared at a vial with no idea what half the words meant. I built this because I was lost in exactly the same spot.”
Jack, founder of TRKD+

Glossary

The words that trip everyone up.

The ones you’ll actually see on a vial, a forum, or a doctor’s note.

    Full definition →
    Protocol
  • Ancillary

    Full definition →
    Protocol
  • Loading dose

    Timing

What this isn’t

TRKD+ is a tracker and a plain-English guide.

  • Notmedical advice.
  • Nota pharmacy or a sourcing tool.
  • Nota substitute for a licensed doctor.

If you’re unsure about anything you’re taking, talk to a healthcare provider. Really.

Also in the app

Reconstitution calculator.

General arithmetic. You supply every number. Nothing is suggested or preset.

Units on a U-100 syringe

-units

Concentration

-mg/mL

A general arithmetic tool. It does not recommend doses and makes no medical claims. Every value is entered by you. Consult a licensed healthcare provider before injecting anything.

The app

How it works.

01

Add your stack

Log every compound you’re running, with your own doses and schedule.

02

Rotate your sites

The injection map shows which sites you’ve rested longest.

03

Watch the trend

Weight and body composition over weeks and months. No verdicts.

FAQ

The questions we get most.

Is this the same as buying peptides online?+

No. TRKD+ is a tracker and glossary. We don't sell, source, or link to anything you can buy. Where you get compounds is between you and your provider.

Do I need a prescription?+

Anything you inject into your body should come from and be overseen by a licensed provider. TRKD+ won't tell you otherwise, and it won't help you skip that step.

Is my data private?+

Your logs are saved to your TRKD+ account and sync across devices you sign in on. We don't sell your data, run ads, or share it with insurers or employers. See the Privacy Policy for details.

How is this different from a spreadsheet?+

A spreadsheet can't show which injection sites have rested longest, read your Apple Health data, or give you a plain-English glossary at 11pm when you're staring at a vial.

Is it really free?+

Yes. Everything TRKD+ does today is free, and it stays free. Any paid features will be optional extras added on top.

Feel a little less lost? Good.
