FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is my data stored?

All of your data — journal entries, health metrics, heart rate zones, training logs, and personal targets — is stored exclusively on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework. Nothing is transmitted to any server. Not even the developer can access your data.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required. The app works entirely on-device. There is no login, no email, and no sign-up of any kind.

Does the app sync with iCloud or other devices?

No. Centenarian OS does not sync with iCloud or any other service. All data stays on the device where it was entered. This is by design — your health and journal data belong to you alone.

What is the creatine dosing protocol?

The Blue Ring requires two creatine doses of 7.5g each (morning and afternoon), for a total of 15g per day. This split-dose protocol is used for muscle preservation and cognitive benefits. The dose amounts are fixed based on the evidence base for men 50+. The daily water goal (default 128 oz) is adjustable in Settings.

How does the protein intake system work?

Each protein entry must be 30g or more to count toward closing the Red Ring. You need four qualifying entries per day. Smaller amounts do not count because they do not reach the threshold needed to trigger a meaningful muscle protein synthesis signal. The total daily protein goal is adjustable in Settings.

What is the BOLT Score?

The Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT) is a breath-hold measure from Patrick McKeown's Oxygen Advantage protocol. After a normal exhale, you hold your breath and measure how long until you feel the first urge to breathe. A higher BOLT score correlates with better aerobic efficiency and CO2 tolerance. The app includes a built-in stopwatch for this test.

How does the training phase rotation work?

The Movement tab follows a 4-week auto-rotating cycle: 5/3/1 or PPL Power, GVT Volume, Bodybuilding, Deload. The checklist adapts to your current phase each week. You can override the current phase at any time in Settings.

What happens if I miss a day?

Each day resets at midnight. There are no streaks to protect and no penalties for missed days. The app is designed for consistency over perfection — close the rings when you can.

Does the app integrate with Apple Health?

In the current version, all data is entered manually within the app. Apple Health integration is not available at this time.

I see an ad on the Dashboard. Does that affect my privacy?

The app includes a single banner ad on the Dashboard tab using Google AdMob. When you first open the app, iOS will ask for App Tracking Transparency permission. Whether you grant or deny tracking, all of your health data, journal entries, and personal metrics remain on-device and are never shared. The ad network operates independently of the app's health data storage.

How do I delete all my data?

To delete all app data, delete the app from your iPhone. This removes all SwiftData records stored by the app. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
