Your first week
The five steps that make COHORT click, in order.
You don't need to set up everything. This order gets you to value fastest:
Day 1 — three foundations (15 minutes)
- Add your supplement stack — Health → Supplements. Everything you take becomes a time-ordered checklist on Today tomorrow morning. Multi-ingredient products can carry their components, so your record shows the full ingredient picture.
- Connect your wearable — Health → Connected devices. Whoop syncs HRV, sleep, recovery and workouts automatically; that signal powers experiments without any manual logging. COHORT also keeps your full sleep and recovery records as Whoop provides them, so an experiment can measure your baseline.
- Upload a recent lab report — Health → Labs → Add. Drop the PDF; the values are read automatically, you confirm each one, and the original file is deleted. Your out-of-range markers now appear under Experiments → Find.
Day 2 — start living in Today
Check things off as you take them. Tap Add questions on the check-in and add a handful — alcohol, stress, sleep quality are the highest-signal ones. Two taps a day here quietly builds the record of what else was going on, which each experiment's page shows beside its run.
Day 3 — see which markers sit outside their range
Experiments → Find lists the markers from your labs and devices that sit outside their range. When an experiment runs, its doses appear on Today, and its page has a Log button for any lab reading it needs.
During the week
- Install the app to your phone's home screen (Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen) and enable reminders on Today — your morning plan arrives as a notification.
End of week
On Experiments → Find, pick a goal and read the curated experiments for it, each with its protocol and the evidence behind it. Running experiments explains how a run works before you start one.
