Muscles are built at the kitchen table, not just in the gym.
Protein Pulse isn't just another app that counts the grams of protein you ate today. It visualizes Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS)—the process activated for several hours after protein consumption—as a real-time curve. We provide the scientific data you need to know exactly when and how much to eat for your next meal.
■ The MPS Curve — Visualize Your Growth Switch
When you consume protein, blood amino acid levels rise, and your "MPS switch" turns on. However, once stimulated, muscles enter a refractory period of roughly 3 to 5 hours where they barely respond to additional protein. Consuming all your protein in one sitting ignores this cycle and reduces your potential for muscle growth.
Protein Pulse uses real-time curves that account for different absorption speeds (Fast, Medium, Slow) and uses color coding to distinguish between MPS active zones and refractory periods. Know at a glance if it’s time to refuel or if you should wait.
■ Core Features
Personalized Daily Goals
Input your weight and activity level (General / Cardio / Muscle Growth / Bulking / Competition Prep) to automatically calculate your daily protein target based on g/kg.
MPS ON/OFF Status
Instantly check on your home screen if protein synthesis is currently active and exactly how much time remains until your next optimal intake.
Persistent Countdown Notification (Optional)
Stay on top of your timing even without opening the app. A live countdown in your notification shade ensures you never miss a window during a busy day.
Smart Re-intake Alerts
Receive a single, precise notification right when your refractory period ends. No notification fatigue—and it stays silent during your Do Not Disturb (DND) sleep hours.
Workout Boost Window
Log your workouts (Cardio / Standard Strength / High-Intensity), and the app will reflect the anabolic window—the period where protein synthesis responds more powerfully post-exercise—directly onto your curve.
Extensive Food Database
Quickly log high-protein foods categorized by type (Grains, Dairy, Meat, Legumes, Seafood, Supplements). Supports both grams and unit quantities (e.g., 1 glass, 1 scoop).
Custom Entries & Easy Editing
Register your frequent shakes or meal prep boxes by setting their units, grams, and absorption speeds for one-tap logging.
History & Progress Tracking
Review your journey via Calendar or List views. Earn badges for days you hit your goal. Made a mistake? Edit or delete entries instantly with a simple undo.

■ Recommended For
Athletes and weight trainers aiming for Hypertrophy (Muscle Growth).
Anyone who drinks protein shakes but is unsure about the best timing.
Dieters concerned about muscle loss during weight loss.
Users who want a nutrition timing tracker, not just a simple calorie counter.
■ Privacy First
All intake, workout, and setting data is stored locally on your device. There are no accounts to create and no cloud uploads—your data belongs to you alone.
One scoop today builds your body tomorrow. Stop tracking just the "quantity" and start mastering the "timing" with Protein Pulse.
