Training surfaces are easier to read
Protocol tightened Today, Insights, Profile, and setup surfaces so the app is easier to scan before, during, and after training.
Shipped
- Refined Today so setup actions, planned work, and recovery prompts are easier to distinguish.
- Improved the calendar and agenda surfaces around planned training.
- Cleaned up Insights performance cards so recent training signals are easier to scan.
- Reworked Me and Profile surfaces around body details, training preferences, and equipment setup.
- Reduced visual noise across the app with clearer icons, tighter copy, and more consistent mobile spacing.
- Updated the app mark and icon treatment so the installed app and public site feel more consistent.
Why
The training app has to work in short glances.
Most lifters are not opening Protocol to admire a dashboard. They are checking what is next, confirming the plan, making a small setup correction, or reviewing whether training is moving in the right direction. When those surfaces compete with each other, the app feels heavier than the workout.
This release keeps the same product shape but makes the daily surfaces more legible. Today is more direct about the next useful action. Insights is less noisy when the user is looking for performance context. Profile and equipment setup are easier to scan when something needs changing.
The result should feel quieter: less app language, more obvious training state.
Notes
- Quick Workout stays separate from planned routine work.
- Profile changes are for app setup and review, not medical advice.
- Insights remain training context, not a coaching diagnosis.
Next
- Keep tightening the paths a lifter repeats most: open app, choose work, train, review, adjust.
- Keep copy practical and avoid adding dashboards unless they answer a real training question.
