Protocol Pal
Protocol Pal is a private iPhone and Android app for adults tracking peptide, TRT and supplement protocols. It brings schedules, dosing logs, inventory, labs, macros and daily routines into one exportable, provider-ready record. Free to download.
What is Protocol Pal?
Protocol Pal: Peptide & Health is a mobile app for iPhone and Android published by DP Schmitz Holdings Ltd, a company based in Calgary, Canada. It presents itself as the all-in-one private protocol system, built for adults managing peptides, wellness compounds, TRT, supplements, ancillaries and custom routines under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
The product is organised around four verbs. Plan covers schedules, cycles and reminders: daily, weekly, interval or custom recurrence, titration, cycle windows, pauses and restarts. Track covers logs, inventory and routines, with doses recorded through repeat actions, bulk entry, missed-dose tools and injection site rotation, alongside an inventory of open and sealed vials, pens, capsules, tablets, bacteriostatic water and supplies with stock and expiry. Understand covers trends, estimated active levels and context: half-life curves, labs, measurements, HRV, glucose, sleep, weight, photos and custom metrics, filtered by today, seven days or longer windows. Share turns all of it into a clear report that is ready for a clinician.
What sets it apart from a plain dose tracker is the surrounding routine layer: a 16:8 fasting window with start, stop and history, guided box breathing at 4:00, a daily hydration goal with quick adds, macros covering calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat and fibre, and an opt-in motivation layer that has been off by default since the August 2026 release. Built-in calculators handle concentration, bacteriostatic water, syringe units and reconstitution details, kept next to the plan, and a reference library of 440+ entries is searchable by compound, blend and category.
The design is local-first: data stays on the device by default, with a cloud account and backup on Supabase and Apple Health both optional. The in-app AI assistant is opt-in too, sending your question plus a limited, relevant summary to a Protocol Pal service hosted on Supabase, which calls OpenAI. Backup, restore and export tools keep the history portable.
The publisher is explicit about the limits. Protocol Pal is an educational organization and tracking tool. It does not diagnose, prescribe or replace care from a qualified healthcare professional, and it is restricted to users aged 18 or over.

When to use Protocol Pal / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Protocol Pal is the right fit.
When to use Protocol Pal
- Adults running a multi-part peptide, TRT, supplement or ancillary protocol under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional
- People managing a physical inventory of open and sealed vials, pens, capsules, tablets, bacteriostatic water and supplies with expiry dates to watch
- Coaches and strength trainers whose clients follow multi-part routines spanning dosing, macros, hydration and recovery
- Patients preparing for an appointment who want an organised, exportable report and ready-made conversation starters
- Privacy-conscious users who want tracking kept on the device by default, with cloud backup and the AI assistant strictly opt-in
When not to use Protocol Pal
- Anyone under 18: use of the app is explicitly restricted to adults
- People expecting a diagnosis, a prescription, a dosage recommendation or any form of medical advice, which the app refuses to provide on the homepage, in the terms and on both store listings
- Users who need a web app, a desktop version or an API integration, since Protocol Pal is mobile-only with no published API documentation
- Clinics and teams looking for a multi-user patient record or shared access, as this is single-user personal tracking
- Organisations that require a documented GDPR framework, because there is no GDPR mention, no data processing agreement and no EU representative

- Free to download, with a permanent free plan
- Explicit privacy commitments: no sale of personal or protocol data, no advertising use of health or Apple Health data
- Subprocessors named openly (Supabase, OpenAI, Apple, Google), which is rare at this product level
- A Lifetime Access purchase is offered as an alternative to a subscription
Cons
- No mention of the GDPR, no data processing agreement and no EU representative, leaving a European user with little documented recourse
- No published position on whether customer data is used to train models, and no documented opt-out
- Mobile only: no web app, no desktop version and no API
- Interface and documentation in English only
- No pricing page on the site: the amounts are visible only on the store listings
- Very short terms of service (six sections), with no data ownership clause, no refund terms and no detailed liability provisions

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Protocol Pal handles your data.
GDPR overview
There is no mention of the GDPR on any of the five pages of the site. No Article 27 representative is named, no data protection officer is appointed, no data processing agreement is offered, no legal basis is cited and no GDPR rights (access, rectification, portability, objection, restriction) are listed. Standard contractual clauses and international transfer mechanisms are not discussed either. What stands in their place is operational rather than contractual: account and cloud backup deletion on request through a dedicated page or by email, local deletion by uninstalling, per-category permission controls and a backup export. The privacy policy, effective 24 July 2026, notes only that service providers may process information in Canada, the United States or other countries where they operate, where data-protection laws may differ. The publisher is Canadian, with no declared European entity.
Who owns the data?
DP Schmitz Holdings Ltd, operating as Protocol Pal, is named as the business responsible for the Protocol Pal app and the ProtocolPal.app website. The design is local-first: tracking data stays on the device unless you enable a feature that moves it, such as a cloud account and backup, the AI assistant, Apple Health, an export, support or a store purchase. Named service providers are Supabase, OpenAI, Apple and Google. The publisher states it does not sell personal or protocol information and does not use health or Apple Health data for advertising; disclosure is limited to legal obligation, safety, fraud investigation and business transfer. The terms of service contain no ownership or licence clause over user content.
Reuse rights
Nothing in the terms of service restricts what you do with your own exports. Inside the app you can delete individual records, export a backup and use the backup, restore and export tools that keep your history portable. You can generate a report and share it with a clinician, a coach or keep it for personal review; sharing is entirely your own initiative, and once you export, screenshot, email or share information you control the recipient and the destination. Optional permissions (Apple Health, notifications, photos, files, camera) can be disconnected from the device settings, and deletion of the account and cloud backup can be requested from the delete-account page or by email from the account address. One limit is worth noting: uninstalling the app clears local data from that device but does not remove a cloud account or backup.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
Protocol Pal is local-first: tracking data stays on the device as long as no cloud feature is enabled. The optional account and cloud backup are handled by Supabase (authentication, account storage, backup data). For the AI assistant, the question and a limited, relevant summary travel to a Protocol Pal service hosted on Supabase, which calls OpenAI; that service is configured not to store the generated API response, but Supabase and OpenAI may process network, security, anti-abuse and service logs. Purchases are handled by the Apple App Store, Google Play or an authorised reseller. The public website is a marketing, legal, account-deletion and support site that asks for no protocol data, while its host and security providers handle ordinary technical data such as IP address, browser and timestamps. No specific hosting country is named and no server region is declared. The only geographic indication is that service providers may process information in Canada, the United States or other countries where they operate, under possibly different laws. The publisher is established in Calgary, Alberta. The site is served through Cloudflare, a delivery network, not a data location. Security is described as HTTPS encryption and account-based access controls, without absolute guarantee.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Protocol Pal.
- Organising a peptide or TRT protocol is not the same as validating it: the app structures a routine whose medical soundness stays entirely outside its scope
- Over-trusting the AI assistant on dosing or interaction questions, when its answers are generated by OpenAI and are not clinical
- Estimated active levels and half-life curves are calculated estimates, not measurements, and reading them as measurements leads to poorly founded decisions
- A very sensitive health history concentrated on a single phone, exposed by loss, theft, a missing passcode or a shared device
- Enabling cloud backup moves that history to a third-party provider; the privacy policy itself advises against enabling it for anything you do not want stored
- Exporting, screenshotting or sharing a report hands control of the destination to you, with no way to take it back
- Constant logging, progress photos and daily measurements can feed an obsessive relationship with self-tracking
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Very low. Installation goes through an app store with no technical configuration and no computing skill required, and an account is not even needed to start. The real entry cost is time rather than difficulty: filling in the profile, building protocols and schedules, and entering the initial inventory. Optional permissions (Apple Health, notifications, photos, files, camera) are granted only for the features you want. The reconstitution and syringe-unit calculators assume subject-matter familiarity rather than technical ability. Requirements are iOS 15 or later on iPhone, or the Android version from Google Play; the iOS app weighs around 14.4 MB.

Should you pick Protocol Pal?
Protocol Pal is a narrow product, and that is the point. It is a protocol tracker for adults already committed to a complex routine, not a general-purpose health assistant. Its main strength is integration: doses, inventory, calculators, macros, hydration, fasting, breathwork, labs and photos all land in a single history that can be exported as a report for a consultation. Its second strength is the local-first model, with data on the device by default and both cloud backup and the AI assistant strictly opt-in. That assistant is a reading layer over your own records, explicitly not a clinical one. The entry price is low: free to download with a permanent free plan, then USD 9.99 per month, and a Lifetime Access purchase at USD 149.99 for anyone who would rather not subscribe. The weaknesses are documentary rather than functional. The terms of service run to six sections and say nothing about data ownership or refunds; there is no GDPR mention, no data processing agreement and no EU representative; the site carries no postal address, no about page and no social presence. One inconsistency deserves flagging: the support block on the Google Play listing points to a different brand altogether, while the site exposes only its own support address. The product is young but actively maintained, released on the App Store on 1 May 2026 with version 2.1.34 shipped on 11 August 2026. Above all, the reader should keep one thing in mind: nothing here replaces a clinician, and Protocol Pal says so itself on every page it publishes.
