About 3Lite

What is 3Lite?

3Lite is an all-in-one health and fitness app made in the UK. It brings the three pillars of fitness, nutrition, training and recovery, into one app for one subscription: food and meal planning, supplements, training, running, steps and cardio, sleep, injuries and progress. It builds a training programme and calorie targets from your details, and adjusts when life gets in the way: a bad night's sleep, an injury, a holiday or a missed day.

Why use one app instead of several?

Because nutrition, training and recovery, the three pillars of fitness, affect each other. In separate apps they never connect, and you pay for each one. In 3Lite one subscription covers all of it, and a short night or a missed session changes what the app suggests next.

Who is 3Lite for?

Adults who train, from beginners to experienced lifters, who'd rather have one app for their programme, food diary, sleep, supplements and progress than pay for several.

How much does 3Lite cost?

14 days free with no card, then £15 a month or £119.99 a year. Every plan includes every feature.

Who makes 3Lite?

3Lite is designed and built in the UK by Shane Gilmartin, trading as Refign. You can reach the team at info@3lite.app.

Is 3Lite medical advice?

No. 3Lite gives estimates and general guidance on training, food, sleep and recovery. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything. Check with your GP before starting a new training or eating plan, especially if you have a medical condition.

Is there one app that tracks food, training and sleep?

Yes. 3Lite is an all-in-one health and fitness app made in the UK. One subscription covers a food diary on UK government food data, a meal planner, training programmes and workout logging, running plans, steps and cardio, sleep and recovery, supplements and progress tracking.

Does 3Lite track sleep?

Yes. Log bedtime, wake time, sleep quality and energy in a few taps. After a short or poor night 3Lite holds your training targets for the day instead of pushing for more. Sleep is added by hand for now.

Can I log TRT, HRT or GLP-1 medication in 3Lite?

Yes, in Enhancements: an optional, private log that's off until you switch it on. It's record-keeping only. 3Lite never gives doses, cycles or sourcing advice. You can also keep your blood test results there.

How much do I save with the yearly plan?

The yearly plan is £119.99, which works out at under £10 a month, about a third less than paying £15 a month for a year. Every feature is included in both.

Can personal trainers use 3Lite with clients?

A branded version for personal trainers, with their own logo, colours and photos and one place to manage clients, is in development. Trainers can enquire at info@3lite.app.

Does 3Lite have an affiliate programme?

Yes. Creators, coaches and clubs can give their audience 15% off with their own code and earn 15% of what those members pay in their first 12 months. Apply on the Affiliates page.

Getting started and pricing

Is 3Lite an app I download?

No app store needed. 3Lite runs in your browser on iPhone, Android, tablet or computer. Add it to your home screen and it opens full screen like any other app, with notifications.

Do I need a card for the free trial?

No. You get 14 days of everything with no card, so nothing can be charged when it ends.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your account and records stay. To keep logging, choose monthly or yearly. If you don't, nothing is charged.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, from My Profile → Subscription. You keep full access until the end of the period you've paid for.

Does it connect to Apple Health or my watch?

Not yet. For now you add steps yourself; syncing is on the list for after launch.

Where do 3Lite's food values come from?

Searched foods come from the UK government's Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID). Scanned products come from Open Food Facts. You can add your own foods and recipes too.

Can I scan barcodes on iPhone?

Yes. Camera scanning works in Safari on iPhone and iPad (iOS 16 or later), as well as on Android and computers. You can also type the barcode number.

Is the meal planner AI?

No. Every suggestion is one of 87 real dishes, and portions are worked out from UK food data.

Can I leave out foods I don't eat?

Yes. The planner only builds meals from the foods you've said you like.

Will 3Lite tell me which supplements to take?

No. It records what you've chosen to take, when, and how much you have left. It never recommends products or amounts.

Is creatine in the library?

Yes, along with vitamins, minerals, protein and many other everyday supplements. If something's missing, add your own private entry.

How do I switch Enhancements on?

Go to My Profile → Advanced tracking → Enhancements, read the warning and switch it on. Switch it off any time to hide it; your records stay.

Will 3Lite tell me how much to take?

No. Enhancements is record-keeping only. 3Lite never gives doses, cycles, protocols, mixing instructions or sourcing information.

Who can see my Enhancements records?

Only you. They're never shown in the community, and notifications never name them.

Where is Blood work in 3Lite?

Inside Enhancements, which you switch on in My Profile. Blood work then asks for your agreement before your first report.

Will 3Lite tell me what my results mean for me?

No. It shows whether a result is inside your lab's own range and how it has changed, and explains what each marker measures. Your GP or prescriber can tell you what it means for you.

Which reports can I add?

Any lab report: upload a PDF or photo, paste the text, or type the results. You check everything 3Lite reads before it's saved.

Is 3Lite good for beginners?

Yes. Choose your level and days, and "choose for me" picks a sensible split. Every exercise has written instructions, cues and an illustration.

Can I use my own programme?

Yes. Choose "Create my own" and add your exercises, or "Paste a workout" to bring one in from your notes or a spreadsheet. You can rename, add or remove sessions later.

What happens if I miss a session?

Move it, skip it or shift the whole programme. 3Lite offers supportive options rather than marking you down.

Can I use 3Lite just for running?

Yes. Running has its own section with plans and personal bests, and the rest of 3Lite is there when you want it.

Does 3Lite track my runs with GPS?

Not yet. You add each run's distance and time yourself. Syncing from phones and watches is planned for after launch.

Does 3Lite count my steps automatically?

Not yet. You add your daily total from your phone or watch in a couple of taps. Syncing is on the list for after launch.

Are there exercise videos?

Not yet. 3Lite uses original illustrations of each movement instead, because it only adds videos it can verify.

Does 3Lite sync with my watch?

Not yet. For now you add sleep yourself in a few taps. Syncing is on the list for after launch.

What happens after a bad night?

3Lite flags a low-recovery day. Progression holds for the day and You vs You sits it out, so you're never pushed to beat your best on four hours' sleep.

Does 3Lite diagnose injuries?

No. It helps you rest and rebuild sensibly and shows the NHS warning signs first. See a GP or physiotherapist for diagnosis and treatment.

Is cycle tracking only for women?

Yes. It's offered to women, based on the sex in your profile, and you switch it on in My Profile → Training.

Does 3Lite change my training by cycle phase?

No. It goes by the symptoms you log and the choice you make, never by the date alone.

What is the Consistency Score?

A score out of 100 for the 14 full days before today, made from training against plan, food logged, steps, 7+ hours of sleep and habits. Anything with nothing to measure is left out rather than counted as zero.

Does a day I didn't log count against me?

3Lite treats an unlogged day as just that: not logged. The evening review never calls it missed, and there's always time to add things later.

How does 3Lite work out my calories?

It estimates your maintenance from your age, height, weight and sex using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, adds your lifestyle and training, then applies your goal. Every figure is labelled as an estimate.

Can I set my own macros?

Yes. Switch to manual targets on the Plan page. 3Lite still checks them against safe minimums for calories and fat.

Are my progress photos private?

Yes. They're stored privately, shown only to you through short-lived links, and photo location data is removed on your device before upload.

Why doesn't my weight graph match the scales?

3Lite shows a 7-day average and a trend, because day-to-day weight changes with water, salt and food in your system. The trend is the better guide.

Can anyone else read my diary?

No. Diary entries are private to your account and never appear in the community.

Do I have to join the community?

No. It's opt-in. Leave any time and your card is removed and your posts hidden.

Does 3Lite send push notifications on iPhone?

Yes, once you add 3Lite to your home screen from Safari and allow notifications (iOS 16.4 or later).

Do I need to download 3Lite from the App Store?

No. Open 3lite.app and add it to your home screen. It works like an app, with notifications, and always runs the latest version.

Does 3Lite sell my data?

No. 3Lite doesn't sell your data or use it for advertising. Read the privacy notice for the full detail.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, from My Profile → Privacy and your data. It removes everything permanently and cancels any subscription.
