Features — Aurum Wellness Journal

The journey the app follows

You choose your stage. Each one has its own home screen, and the defaults, prompts and suggestions across the app change with it.

Stage 1

Beginning

Starting doses and titration. Side-effect help, food noise, a welcome-week task each day.

Stage 2

Active loss

Steady progress. Protein, strength training and the trends behind the scale.

Stage 3

Maintenance

Holding your result. Steady-state routines and long-term habits.

Stage 4

Life after

Pausing or stopping. Planning for appetite return and protecting what you built.

Medication

Your doses, understood

The core of the app. It logs each dose and turns the pharmacology into something you can see and plan around.

Medication level between doses

Each dose raises the level, which then tapers by the drug's half-life. Over the first weeks it builds toward a steady state. Aurum draws this curve from your own log and shows today's "in your system" percentage.

Dose log & countdown

Works: Pick your medication and schedule once. Log injections or daily pills in one tap and see a countdown to the next dose.
Helps: You always know when you dosed last and when the next one is due.

Dose titration ladder

GLP-1 specific

Works: Schedule the next step up or step down. The dose-change card shows how your stomach handled past step-ups.
Helps: Dose changes feel less like a leap in the dark, because you can see your own history.

Injection site rotation

GLP-1 specific

Works: Tap where you injected on a body map. The app tracks recent sites and suggests the next one.
Helps: Rotating sites reduces irritation and lumps under the skin.

Refills & supply

Works: Record pens or pills on hand. The app counts down your supply and warns before you run short.
Helps: Time to sort pharmacy or insurance delays before you miss a dose.

Reminders

Works: Push notifications for a missed dose, water, meals, upcoming dose bumps and the weekly weigh-in. Each one can be turned on or off.
Helps: The routine holds even on busy days.

Side effects & symptoms

Works: Log nausea, heartburn and acid reflux, fatigue and more with severity. Patterns are shown against your dose days.
Helps: You can see whether symptoms follow your dose and tell your prescriber with confidence.

Food & drink

Eating on a smaller appetite

When you eat less, every meal has to count. These tools put protein first and show where each nutrition number comes from.

Smart food logging

Works: Snap a photo for AI recognition, scan a barcode, search, speak it, or enter it by hand. Each item shows the source of its numbers.
Helps: Logging takes seconds, and you can trust what you're reading.

Personal targets

Works: Calorie, protein, water and step goals are calculated from your body (Mifflin-St Jeor) with a protein floor. You can adjust any of them.
Helps: One protein target, the same on every screen, sized to protect muscle.

Restaurant guide

Works: Over 50 chains with checked nutrition, build-your-own calculators for the most customizable, and a "Best for you right now" pick at the top of each menu.
Helps: Eating out stops being guesswork.

Cultural food library

Works: Over 350 dishes, including soul food, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Caribbean and West African cooking, checked against USDA data, with home-cooked portions.
Helps: The food you actually cook is in the app, with real portion sizes.

Drinks & alcohol

GLP-1 specific

Works: Choose from over 300 drinks, from cocktails and seltzers to mocktails, or scan a can. Standard drinks are counted, and you're warned when alcohol meets an empty stomach.
Helps: Alcohol hits differently on the medication. The low blood sugar warning is there for that.

Hydration

Works: Quick-tap water logging against a daily goal, with gentle reminders.
Helps: Reduced thirst is common on GLP-1s. Staying hydrated eases nausea and constipation.

Food noise & fullness

GLP-1 specific

Works: Rate food noise and how full you feel. The app charts how both change over weeks.
Helps: It names one of the most surprising changes of the first month and shows it shifting.

Recipes & meal planner

Works: Over 150 protein-forward GLP-1 recipes with step-by-step cooking, a weekly planner and a shopping list built from it.
Helps: Small, satisfying meals are planned and shopped for ahead of time.

Movement & body

Lose fat, keep muscle

Without strength work, a large share of GLP-1 weight loss can come from muscle. This part of the app is built around that.

Muscle-first workouts

GLP-1 specific

Works: Over 50 workouts focused on muscle preservation, from chair and resistance-band routines to gym machines, built from over 80 exercises, with suggestions that match your stage.
Helps: You keep strength and metabolism while the weight comes off.

Health sync

iPhone & Android

Works: In the iPhone and Android apps, reads steps, active energy, weight from smart scales, last night's sleep and resting heart rate from Apple Health or Health Connect.
Helps: Fewer things to type in. Your devices fill in the picture.

Weight & BMI bands

Works: Log weigh-ins and see a smoothed trend with BMI band changes marked along the way.
Helps: Daily ups and downs settle into a trend you can read calmly.

Beyond the scale

Works: Body measurements and body composition, logged by hand or imported, shown on their own card.
Helps: Progress shows even in weeks when the scale stalls.

Private progress photos

Works: Monthly photos stored in a private folder, location data removed, viewable full screen. Delete all of them in one step.
Helps: A visual record that stays yours.

Labs

Works: Enter A1c, fasting glucose, lipid panel and ALT results. Each test shows its latest value, a typical range and the change since last time.
Helps: You see what's improving inside the body as well as outside.

Sleep & mood check-ins

Works: A quick daily check-in for sleep quality, mood and energy, summarized weekly.
Helps: Shows how rest and mood move with your dose and your eating.

Companion

Someone keeping you company

These features are why people stay once tracking becomes routine. They keep the story of the journey, not only the numbers.

Reflections diary

Works: Record video, voice (up to 10 minutes) or text, guided by over 30 prompts written for each stage. Entries can be read aloud.
Helps: A place to process the parts of this that numbers don't capture.

Anniversary surfacing

Only on Aurum

Works: Brings back your own past entries at the right moment: "47 days ago you said…"
Helps: Hearing your earlier self shows how far you've come, in your own words.

Quiet milestones

Only on Aurum

Works: The app spots over 15 non-scale victories on its own, and you can mark your own moments.
Helps: Progress is recognized in ways that matter, without badges to chase.

Wellness coach

Works: An AI coach with a personality you choose. It answers questions and offers prompts based on your day.
Helps: Practical answers between appointments, in a calm voice.

Accountability buddy

Works: Pair with one person by invite code. Each of you sees a privacy-safe snapshot: last active, check-ins this week, weight change.
Helps: Support from one person you trust.

Member community

Works: A moderated, members-only space for people on GLP-1s, opened from inside the app.
Helps: Conversations the free forums can't host safely.

Guided first month

Works: A welcome-week task each day, a first-month guide and a short daily lesson track.
Helps: The most uncertain weeks come with a clear next step.

Care & coverage

Working with your care team

The data you've been logging becomes something useful at appointments and with your insurer.

Provider report

GLP-1 specific

Works: Generates a clean PDF of doses, weight, symptoms and trends, ready to hand to your prescriber.

Insurance appeal pack

Only on Aurum

Works: Drafts an appeal letter from your own tracked history: diagnosis, adherence and measured response.
Helps: A denial becomes a documented case instead of a dead end.

Cost & coverage help

Works: A neutral guide to manufacturer savings cards, assistance programs, cash-price tools and prior authorization tips.
Helps: Cost is the biggest real-world barrier. This page lists the options in one place.

Maintenance & life after

Works: Dedicated guides for holding your result and for pausing or stopping, covering appetite return and regain.
Helps: Stopping is common. You plan for it instead of being surprised.
