What Forma is for

The idea in one page.

Forma helps you train, eat and recover while asking you for very little. You log what you did — a meal, a set, a weigh-in — and Forma works out what to do next: today's session, your calorie and protein target, and when to rest.

Today. Invented sample data.
Today. Invented sample data.

When to use it

  • You want to train and eat well, but you do not want to plan every session and every meal yourself.
  • You want a plan that comes from your own numbers, not from generic advice.
  • You want your logs to stay on your phone, with no account to create and no tracking.

Step by step

Forma runs on a short daily loop.

  1. Log what you did: a meal on Fuel, a set on Train, a weigh-in on Today. Apple Health can bring the reading in from a connected scale, so you do not have to type it.
  2. Open Today and read the big card near the top. It shows the next thing to do. That can be a check-in, a session to start or resume, a meal to log, a weigh-in to add, or a rest day to call.
  3. Tap the button on the card and do that one thing. The check-in asks how rested you feel, on a scale from 1 to 10 (Exhausted to Great). A session card takes you to Train. A meal card takes you to Fuel.
  4. Come back the next day. Your targets, the weights to lift and your rest days are worked out again from what you logged.

Good to know

  • The first time you open Forma, you see a short setup before this loop starts. After that, Forma opens on Today.
  • At the top of Today you see the date and a greeting. Below it is the big card for the next thing to do.
  • Under the card are three rings: Fuel for the calories you have left today, Train for your session, and Recovery for how ready your body is.
  • Under the rings is the Weight card with your 7-day average, a small chart and an Add weigh-in button. Tap Trend on that card to see the full picture on Progress.
  • Near the top right are the gear button, which opens Settings, and a speech-bubble button labelled Ask Coach. Answering is part of the optional Forma Power extras; without it the button opens the plans.
  • Targets, session plans and rest days come from tested calculations that run on your phone. An AI never produces them.
  • Your data stays on this phone, with a backup in your own iCloud. There is no account and no tracking. Only the optional Forma Power extras (watch connection, online AI) use Forma's server.
  • Decisions use your 7-day average weight, not a single weigh-in. Your first reading starts the average. Single readings are kept for the record.
