Health is hard. Don’t do it alone.

Health is hard.Don’t do it alone.

Wearables, bloodwork, doctor visits, supplements, blood pressure, sleep. Murph reads it all, figures out what actually works, and helps you build habits that stick.

Start a health challenge with your friends, right in your group chat. Murph sets fair baselines, referees the week, calls the winner, and keeps everyone in the loop.

Better together

Do it with your people.

Habits stick when someone else is watching. Start a challenge with friends, or set up a weekly newsletter so the whole family knows how everyone is doing.

Group challenges

I referee health challenges with your friends.

Murph is the referee. It sets fair baselines across different devices, keeps score, nudges the slackers, and calls the winner at the end.

The weekly newsletter

I send the whole family a weekly health newsletter.

Every Sunday the group gets an email recap of the week. Wins, trends, and gentle callouts. Grandparents included.

Just you and Murph

No group? You’re still not doing this alone.

Outside the group chat, Murph is all yours. Experiments, bloodwork, habits, bookings, and daily readouts, in a private one on one thread.

Self-experiments

I run experiments so you know what actually works for you.

Pick a protocol. Murph baselines you for a week, runs the active phase, then texts the before-and-after. No more guessing whether anything moved.

Did the magnesium actually work?

Labs

I find insights in your bloodwork over time.

Drop in your latest panel. Murph flags what crept up or down and turns it into the questions worth asking your doctor.

LDL climbed since you switched diets in April. Worth asking your clinician about the trend before the next panel.

Habits

I make it easy to build healthy habits.

A version small enough for bad days, anchored to something you already do. Reminders ease off as it takes hold.

Murph finds the DEXA scan nearby, drafts the supplement re-up, and queues the doctor recap on your calendar. You give the final tap. The errands stop slipping.

Phone calls

I call the dentist and book the appointment.

Dentist, dermatologist, vet, mechanic. Murph dials, waits on hold, picks a slot that fits your week.

Night 9 of magnesium glycinate. Deep sleep is up 18% vs your baseline week.

Could just be the cooler weather though?

Your mattress temp’s held steady according to 8 Sleep, so probably not. The jump lines up with the magnesium nights. 5 days left to be sure.

Did 2 weeks of Tabata actually move anything?

Pulling your interval logs and last threshold test now.

What are you comparing to baseline?

Lactate clearance at matched effort, Zone 2 pace at matched HR, and recovery HRV the morning after each session.

Cool, send when you’ve got it.

−12s

2 weeks of Tabata logged. Your lactate threshold moved from 3.8 to 4.4 mmol/L — you’re clearing lactate faster at the same pace.

So the Tabata’s actually working?

Looks like it. Same effort, lower blood lactate, and your Zone 2 pace dropped 12s/km. Want 2 more weeks to confirm?

Damn. I basically live on afternoon espresso.

Try a 2pm cutoff for a week? If your HRV holds, we’ll know it’s the caffeine, not the stress.

FAQ

Common questions

Where do the experiments come from?

Murph uses AI-assisted review of published studies, clinical trials, and other research sources to draft protocols, then presents sources so you can check the evidence yourself. Research may be incomplete, mixed, or not applicable to your situation.

Do I need a computer?

The web dashboard works on any device with a browser. For daily guidance, Murph texts you through iMessage, Telegram, or email.

Do I need a wearable?

No. A wearable can add useful signals, but Murph can also work from notes, labs, symptoms, meals, workouts, and manual measurements. The point is the before-and-after experiment loop.

How is this different from my wearable’s app?

Wearable apps show status. Murph turns whatever evidence you have into a bounded experiment with a baseline and a clear outcome.

Can I do challenges with friends and family?

Yes. Start a group with Murph and invite your people. Murph referees the challenge: fair baselines across different devices, scoring, reminders, and a winner at the end. Scoring is adherence and change against your own baseline, never raw body stats.

Do I need friends on Murph?

No. Group challenges are the most fun way to stay motivated, but Murph works solo too: it keeps you honest, watches your data, and calls what’s working. Either way you’re not doing it alone.

What does the group actually see?

Only what each person agrees to share when they join a challenge or newsletter. The weekly newsletter is a short recap of how everyone's week went. Everything else stays private by default.

Can I set it up for a parent?

Yes. Murph works over plain texting with no app to download, which makes it a good fit for parents and grandparents. Their answers stay grounded in their own labs and routines, and the weekly newsletter keeps the family in the loop if they opt in.

Can I run multiple experiments?

Yes. We recommend one at a time so you know what caused the change, but you can run more if they don’t overlap.

What if I can’t follow the protocol perfectly?

Real life happens. Murph accounts for missed sessions in the analysis. A good experiment tolerates some noise.

What if nothing changes?

That’s useful too. Each experiment ends with a verdict: what worked, what didn’t, what to try next. Knowing what doesn’t work saves you from doing it forever.

Is this medical advice?

No. Murph helps you run self-experiments using published research. It’s not a substitute for medical care. Talk to your doctor about health concerns.

What happens to my data?

Unless Murph clearly says otherwise and gets any required consent, health data you submit through Murph is not used to train general-purpose AI models. Murph encrypts sensitive data at rest and keeps storage scoped by purpose. The service can decrypt data when it needs to run requested tasks or maintain the service. Local Murph keeps your vault on your device.

Can I self-host Murph?

Yes. Murph is open source under Apache 2.0. Run it locally with one command. The hosted version is for people who'd rather not run anything themselves.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts. $8/month, cancel whenever. You can export your data.
