Supplement and Nootropic Stack Tracker with Interaction Checking and Self-Experiment Logging

mobile app real project •• multiple requests

A 2024 survey found roughly 30% of tech workers use cognitive enhancement supplements, spending $100-300/month with no systematic way to track what works. Users manage stacks via spreadsheets and Reddit threads, with no tool to check interactions, log subjective effects, or run proper N-of-1 experiments. The nootropics community on Reddit has 400K+ members actively discussing stack optimization.

builder note

The interaction database is the hard part and the moat. Start with the tracking and logging, crowdsource interaction reports from the community, then layer in verified interaction data from published research. Don't try to be a medical app or you'll drown in FDA compliance.

No dedicated supplement stack tracker exists. Users cobble together spreadsheets, Notion databases, and Reddit posts. The gap is a tool that combines interaction checking (like Drugs.com but for supplements), personal effect logging, and community-validated stack templates.

Examine.com Excellent supplement research database but no personal tracking, stack management, or interaction checking between supplements
Cronometer Tracks nutritional intake including some supplements but not designed for stack management, nootropic cycling, or subjective effect logging
Bearable Can log supplements as 'factors' but no interaction database, no stack templates, no cycling schedules, no community-validated protocols
