User manual

How everything works.

Hemingway Performance unifies training, body composition, hormone & peptide protocols, and blood work in one app — so the numbers that drive each other finally live in the same place. This is the full walkthrough of every section, how the AI fits in, and what happens to your data.

Section 1
🏋

Training

Your strength dashboard. Every set you log feeds this tab, which turns your raw workout history into the numbers that actually tell you whether you're progressing.

Section 2
💪

Workouts

Where you build your training programs and run live sessions. This is the daily-driver part of the app.

✦ AI program generator

Describe what you want — days per week, equipment, goals — and the AI drafts a structured program you can edit and save. You stay in control: nothing is locked, and you can change any exercise, set, or rep range before using it.

Section 3

Body

Your body composition over time. Log it by hand or let it flow in automatically, and watch the trends rather than chasing a single day's number.

✦ AI body-comp summary

On demand, the AI reads your recent composition trend and writes a plain-language summary of what's moving and what's holding steady — framed around lifestyle and training, not medical advice. It's cached so it doesn't re-run on every visit.

Section 4
❤️

Recovery

A readiness read built from the signals your Apple Watch already collects. It tells you whether your body is recovered enough to push, or whether to back off.

This is computed on your device from Apple Health data — there's no AI call and nothing leaves the app for the readiness score itself.

Recovery needs an Apple Watch (or compatible device) writing HRV, heart rate and sleep into Apple Health — without that data the readiness score can't be calculated.

Section 5
💊

Protocols

Track your hormone and peptide protocols the way they actually work — by weekly total, dosing days, and cycle position — with reminders so you don't miss a dose.

Important: Protocols is a tracking and reminder tool only. It records what you choose to enter and does the arithmetic you ask it to. It does not recommend compounds, doses, or protocols, and nothing in the app is medical advice. Decisions about what you take belong with you and your clinician.
Section 6
🩸

Blood Work

Turn a lab PDF into tracked, trendable markers without typing anything in by hand.

✦ AI marker extraction & synopsis

The PDF is read on your device, then the marker extraction and an optional plain-language synopsis run through the AI. The synopsis describes what your markers are doing in lifestyle and trend terms — it is explicitly not a diagnosis and won't tell you to change a dose or a medication. Always confirm anything that matters with the lab report itself and your clinician.

Section 7

How the AI works

The AI in Hemingway Performance is there to save you typing and to turn your own numbers into something readable — never to make decisions for you. Here's exactly where it shows up and how it's handled.

Where it's used:


How your data is handled:

Not medical advice. Every AI feature is constrained to lifestyle, training and trend commentary. It does not diagnose, does not interpret results clinically, and will not recommend or adjust doses, compounds or medications. Hemingway Performance is a personal tracking tool, not a medical device — always consult a qualified clinician for medical decisions.
Section 8
🔒

Your data & privacy

You're trusting the app with sensitive information — blood work, protocols, body data. Here's the short version of how that's treated.

It's yours, and it's isolated

Everything is stored against your private account. Your data is never visible to other users, and it's never sold or used for advertising.

Encrypted & access-controlled

Traffic is encrypted in transit, data is encrypted at rest, and every request is checked against your session before any of your records are touched.

Health data stays on your terms

Apple Health data is read only with your permission and only for the metrics you allow. You can revoke access in iOS Settings at any time.

Export or delete, any time

You can download all of your data as a file, or permanently delete your account and everything in it, from your Profile — no email required.
