Wellness Project Reaches Its First Thousand Users, With a Third of Them Tracking Their Health From Inside Claude or ChatGPT

BEVERLY, Mass., August 3, 2026 – Wellness Project has reached its first thousand users and now sees 200 daily average users, and about a third of them have connected an outside AI assistant to their own health data. The app is built on two ideas that most health trackers get backwards: logging should take seconds, and once your data exists you should be able to analyze it wherever you already think. It is free during early access on iPhone, Android, and the web.

The daily number is the one the company watches. Health apps are famously easy to download and easy to abandon, and a tracker that people open once is not worth building. People coming back day after day, without any paid acquisition behind them, is the evidence that the friction is genuinely gone rather than moved somewhere else.

The number I care about is the daily one. Anybody can get downloads. People coming back every day means the logging stopped being work, because nobody returns daily to a chore.

Almost nobody quits tracking because the charts were bad. They quit because logging is a chore: tapping through a food database at dinner, entering sets one at a time between rounds, keeping a workout app and a macro app and a sleep app that never talk to each other. The data that would make any of it useful never gets entered in the first place.

So the app attacks the entry. A workout is a sentence you would say out loud, "bench 185 by five for three, incline dumbbells at 60, dips bodyweight," and it becomes real sets with real load. "Same as last Tuesday but ten pounds heavier on the bench" is a complete log on its own, because the app can read your history. A photo of a gym whiteboard or a meal works too. Apple Health, Fitbit, Oura, and Google Health Connect sync in the background, and an imported session merges into the one you already logged rather than becoming a duplicate.

Every tracking app I ever quit, I quit at the logging screen, not the dashboard. So the bar we set was that you should be able to say what you did the way you would say it to a friend, and be done. Everything good downstream depends on the data existing, and the data only exists if entering it is nearly free.

Then the analysis is your choice. Inside the app it is a bench of named specialists, each with a real lane and your full history: Jamie Reyes on hypertrophy and progressive overload, Casey Mills on nutrition without moralizing about food, Evelyn Cross on longevity and lab work, Max Kline on HRV and sleep architecture, Lauryn Britt on rehab, Rex Dalton on cuts and contest prep, Elias Kiptoo on running, and Atlas Mercer on protocol design.

Or you skip the app entirely. Wellness Project runs an open connection built on the Model Context Protocol, so Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Mistral Le Chat, or any other MCP client can read and write the same data with the same tools. You can log a workout by telling Claude about it, ask ChatGPT to compare this month of sleep against last, and get back live interactive charts rendered inline from your own numbers. Access is granted through a consent screen that names exactly what the assistant can reach, and revoked in one tap. That path was not the plan when the app launched; users went there on their own, and it is now how a third of them work.

We do not need to own the window you look at your health through. Plenty of people already live in Claude or ChatGPT all day, and telling them to come use our chat instead would be asking them to take a step backwards. Your data should meet you where you already are. Our specialists are there for the people who want a coach with a point of view, and the connector is there for everyone who would rather bring their own.

Wellness Project is informational software, not a medical service. The in-app advisors are AI personas built on frontier language models and tuned with distinct expertise; for anything clinical, the app tells users to see a qualified clinician. Data an outside assistant reads is governed by the user's own agreement with that provider, which the consent screen states plainly. User data is exportable and deletable at any time.

Early access remains open at wellnessproject.ai and free. No credit card is required, and setup takes about thirty seconds.
