See why four apps weren’t enough

You’re using four apps to do one app’s job.

One app for your lifts. Another for your macros. Another for your sleep. A spreadsheet for your meds. Four apps, four logins, four places where your data goes to die in isolation.

Your squat PR happened on five hours of sleep. Was that real strength, or borrowed time? Your workout logger can’t tell you. Your bench has stalled for three weeks, and your protein intake dropped 30g/day over the same period. Your nutrition tracker doesn’t know that. Nobody’s connecting the dots because nobody has all the dots.

A user on TRT has elevated hematocrit in their last bloodwork. The lifting app doesn’t know. The nutrition app doesn’t know. The doctor sees them every 90 days. That’s 12 weeks of blind spots.

That’s not a logging problem. That’s a forge problem. And you’re still using a campfire.

Three disciplines. One forge.

The Lift

  • 270+ exercises across 13 muscle groups with full metadata
  • 8 set types: drop, rest-pause, cluster, tempo, warm-up, working, back-off, failure
  • Supersets, giant sets, circuits (AMRAP/EMOM)
  • 42 structured programs (beginner to advanced), 33 templates
  • Auto PR detection: 4 types across 7 1RM formulas
  • Progressive overload suggestions from history
  • Strength levels: 6 tiers (Untrained to Superior)
  • Balance score (0-100) for imbalance detection
  • Rest timer, volume analytics, deload detection
  • Offline-first. CSV/JSON export. Your data, always

The Fuel

  • 780K+ foods + 158 restaurant chains via ChowAPI
  • Barcode scanner with Open Food Facts
  • Protein Guardian: alerts when you’re falling short
  • Recipe builder with ingredient tracking
  • Water tracking with daily targets
  • Medication-nutrient alerts

The Protocol

  • 302 medications across 21 categories (TRT, semaglutide, ancillaries, supplements)
  • Injection timing with countdown timers & inventory
  • HealthKit: sleep stages, HRV, RHR, VO2 Max, SpO2
  • Medication-nutrient alerts

Your 1RM didn’t come from one workout.

It came from every night of sleep, every gram of protein, every dose on schedule.

ForgeScore composites five domains: training readiness, nutrition quality, vitals trajectory, recovery status, and daily wellbeing. Each domain pulls from a different data source. No double-counting, no guesswork. A score that only works when all five domains live in one place.

Built by someone who lives this.

SomaForge wasn’t built by a product team in San Francisco. It was built by a lifter who got tired of switching between four apps mid-workout. Every feature exists because the founder needed it. Every edge case was discovered under a barbell.

When you track TRT and your bench press in the same app, you start seeing things no single-purpose tracker can show you. When your protein intake, sleep quality, and medication timing all live in one place, patterns emerge that change how you train.

270+ exercises. 302 medications. 42 programs. 7 1RM formulas. 185 security policies on your data. Built by someone who actually uses every one of them.

The forge was built under a barbell, not in a boardroom.

The body is the material. The data is the heat.

You are the smith.
