Why we built Trophos

Our health data was spread across five apps. We wanted one log, and something that could read it.

Every app we tried was missing something

We started out looking for a food logger that got out of the way. Every app we tried was either a calorie counter bolted onto an ad network, or a spreadsheet pretending to be mobile software. Neither respected our time, and none of them knew anything about the training, weight or wearable data sitting in the four apps next to them.

So we wrote our own

Trophos started as a weekend prototype. A tiny log with a single requirement: log a meal in under three seconds. From there we added label scanning from a photo, the full micronutrient panel, and the rest.

Where it went

The prototype answered the wrong question. Faster entry made logging cheap, and we still had to read our own history to learn anything from it. So the log widened and the reading moved into the app. Training, sleep, wearable data, body measurements, cycles, protocols and progress photos sit on the same timeline as food, and a personal agent reads all of it, so you can ask instead of digging. No ads. No selling data. Ever.
