Everything about Elyxis v1 — running honest experiments on yourself. Don't see your question? Email support@elyxis.app.
Elyxis is a personal experiment app. Most health advice is built on what worked for the average person in a study — but you're not average. Elyxis helps you test a single change (like matcha for focus, or magnesium for sleep) on yourself over a fair, fixed protocol, then gives you an honest read on whether it actually seemed to help you.
Your own response to a change you've chosen to make. You give a quick daily rating of how you feel on the outcome you care about (focus, sleep, energy…), optionally add wearable signals, and Elyxis compares your "on" days to your "off" days — accounting for things like your sleep and routine — to see whether the change moved your numbers more than normal day-to-day variation would.
Create a free account, pick an experiment from the library (or set up your own), and follow the simple daily prompt. Connecting a wearable is optional. At the end you get your honest result — no spreadsheets and no science background needed.
None. Elyxis designs the experiment, handles the schedule and the analysis, and explains the result in plain language. Your only job is a one-tap daily rating.
No. Elyxis is a general wellness tool. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe doses, or replace your doctor, pharmacist, dietitian, or therapist. It measures your own response to choices you've already decided to make. For anything health-related — especially starting or changing a supplement or medication — talk to a qualified professional first.
You pick something to test. Elyxis builds a fair schedule (some days with the change, some without, arranged so the result isn't just placebo or a fluke), you give a quick daily 1–10 rating, and optionally connect a wearable. When the protocol ends, Elyxis analyses your data — accounting for things like your sleep and routine — and gives you a clear verdict: likely helped, no clear effect, or likely made it worse.
Because honest answers about a single person come with uncertainty, and pretending otherwise would be misleading. Elyxis shows you how confident the result is (for example, "likely helped — 78%") instead of overclaiming. That honesty is the whole point — it's the opposite of supplement-marketing hype.
No — a daily one-tap rating is enough to run an experiment. If you do connect Apple Health or Google Health Connect, Elyxis can add objective signals like sleep and heart rate to sharpen the result, but it's completely optional.
Everyday wellness variables — supplements (like magnesium, ashwagandha, creatine, omega-3) and habits (like morning sunlight, cold showers, no-screens-before-bed, breathwork). There's a library of 30+ research-backed experiments to start from, or you can set up your own.
Mostly, yes — describe what you want to test in your own words ("the ashwagandha gummies my sister swears by") and Elyxis designs a proper protocol around it: the variable, a fair schedule, the right length, the outcome to measure. You approve everything before it starts. Two honest limits: it will decline anything that needs a professional (prescriptions, symptoms of a condition) and point you to better help instead, and it won't pretend to cleanly test three changes at once — it'll propose a one-at-a-time sequence.
An AI protocol designer sets them per experiment — you don't pick a duration. It works out the variable, a fair counterbalanced schedule, any washout, the right length, and the daily question to ask, based on what you're testing. Fast-acting changes get a clean read in about 14 days; slow-building compounds need longer. It always tells you the length and why.
It depends on what you're testing — and that's deliberate. Fast-acting changes (caffeine swaps, screen habits) get a clean read in about 14 days. Slow-building compounds like ashwagandha, creatine, omega-3 or vitamin D need 30–45+ days, often with a washout period, because that's how long they take to build up. Elyxis sets the length when it designs your protocol and tells you why. A shorter run would just produce a confident-sounding wrong answer.
Some compounds linger in your system after you stop taking them. A washout is a planned stretch of "off" days that lets those effects fade, so your off-days are genuinely off. Without it, the comparison would be contaminated and the verdict would flatter the supplement. If your protocol includes one, the schedule shows it and explains it.
About 30 seconds: a single 1–10 rating on the outcome you're testing, plus an optional note. Keeping the signal a consistent number is what lets Elyxis compute an honest verdict at the end.
Elyxis is built for everyday wellness choices, not for managing prescriptions. Never start, stop, or change a prescribed medication based on Elyxis. If you and your doctor have already decided on a change, you may choose to track how you feel — but that's between you and your clinician, and Elyxis won't advise a dose or a decision.
Elyxis is for adults 18 and over. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a diagnosed medical condition, or take prescription medication, please talk to your clinician before experimenting with anything that could affect your health. Elyxis is not a substitute for medical care, and it's not for diagnosing or treating any condition.
Elyxis runs one experiment at a time — the app enforces it — so the result stays clean: if you change two things at once, you can't tell which one did what. As soon as an experiment finishes, you're free to start the next.
Both. From the experiment's Manage screen you can pause and resume later — paused days simply freeze, so your schedule stretches to match and the comparison stays fair — or stop early and get your result then. If a stopped experiment is below the data needed for a confident read, Elyxis says so honestly ("not enough data yet") rather than inventing a verdict.
The protocol is fixed once it starts — that's what keeps the test fair (changing the plan mid-run would muddy the comparison). If it isn't working for you, you can stop it and start a fresh one.
No problem — life happens. The next morning, Elyxis asks one honest question: log yesterday only if you genuinely remember it, or leave it unlogged. A missed day or two won't ruin your result — guessed ratings would. Elyxis accounts for gaps and will simply tell you if it doesn't have enough data for a confident answer.
Anything that syncs to Apple Health (on iPhone) or Google Health Connect (on Android) — including Apple Watch, Oura, Fitbit, Garmin, Whoop, and many continuous glucose monitors. Elyxis reads only the metrics you approve, and a wearable is always optional — a daily rating works on its own.
Stop, and treat it like any other reaction — contact a healthcare professional, or your local emergency services if it's serious. Elyxis only measures how you respond to choices you've made; it never recommends products or doses. Test sensibly, and check with a professional before trying anything you're unsure about.
Yes — "n-of-1" means a study with a sample size of one: you. It's a real method used in research to learn what works for a single individual rather than an average. Elyxis builds a fair schedule, sizes the protocol to the intervention, accounts for confounders like your sleep and routine, and reports the result with honest uncertainty instead of a hyped headline.
Your Science Report lands on one of a few honest verdicts: likely helped, no clear effect, or likely made it worse — each with a confidence level. If your data can't support a confident read, you'll instead see an honest state: not enough data (too few logged days), or a note that the result couldn't be cleanly isolated (too much else changed at once). Elyxis never manufactures a verdict it can't stand behind.
It's how sure Elyxis is that the effect is real rather than day-to-day noise — for example, "likely helped — 78%." A ring that never fully closes is the whole brand idea: an honest answer about one person is never 100% certain, and Elyxis won't pretend otherwise.
Not at all — that's a real, useful answer. It means the change didn't move your numbers in a way we can confidently tell apart from normal day-to-day variation. Knowing something probably isn't worth your money or effort is just as valuable as finding something that works.
It's your experiment's daily read — a running, honest signal of how the current run is leaning as your data builds, with an early "no read yet" state before there's enough to say anything. It is deliberately not a black-box 0–100 "body score": Elyxis doesn't invent a single composite number, because that's exactly the pseudo-precision it exists to reject.
Over time, your finished experiments build a personal record of what did and didn't help you — so your own results, not generic advice, become your reference.
Yes. Your body and circumstances change, and a single run is a snapshot, not a verdict for life. Re-run any experiment whenever you want to check whether a result still holds.
Yes, optionally (Pro). Upload a lab report at the start of an experiment and a follow-up near the end, and your Science Report shows the before→after change alongside your verdict. One honest caveat, stated in the report itself: two snapshots are supporting context only — they never change your verdict number. Most people skip this entirely, and that's fine.
Biomarkers are an optional Pro feature. You upload a lab report (or enter values by hand) and confirm every reading before it's saved. Elyxis flags implausible entries and won't accept the same report twice. Markers are shown as before→after context, colored by whether the change is favorable for that specific marker — but they're presented with uncertainty, never as a diagnosis, and never as the verdict.
Most apps just show you data — steps, sleep, a number going up or down. Elyxis runs an actual experiment and tells you whether a specific change is helping you, with honest confidence levels. It's the difference between tracking your life and testing it.
There's a free tier to get started. Pro is $14.99/month or $99/year, with a 14-day trial. Prices are always shown plainly before you subscribe — no strike-through theatrics.
Free gets you started: run experiments from the library (up to 14 days), the daily check-in, honest verdicts, one experiment at a time — and connecting a wearable, which is optional and free for everyone. Pro unlocks the things that need more: designing an experiment from anything you describe (Test Your Own), longer adaptive protocols (the 30–45+ day ones), and optional blood biomarkers.
That's the design. The trial runs 14 days with full Pro; the first charge lands on day 15, and we send a reminder on day 12 — so a fast-acting experiment finishes before you pay a cent. If your protocol is longer (slow-building supplements run 30–45+ days), you'll have seen your data building and your mid-run signal by then, and the experiment simply continues on Pro. Trial length is about billing; protocol length is about science — we never bend the second to fit the first.
If you added a card, Pro begins on day 15 at the price shown up front (monthly or yearly). If you started without a card, nothing is charged — your account moves to a free, read-only state on day 15, and your data and any verdicts stay yours. You can add Pro anytime.
It keeps running. Longer protocols (30–45+ days) continue past day 15 on Pro. Elyxis steers your first trial experiment toward a fast-acting one so you can see how a verdict feels before you decide, and it's honest up front about when a longer experiment's verdict will land.
Anytime, in two taps — through your app-store subscription settings (App Store or Google Play) or your account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the current period, and your data and verdicts stay yours, read-only, forever.
If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, refunds are handled by that store under its policy. For anything else, contact support@elyxis.app. Aside from store policies and your legal rights, payments are generally non-refundable — which is exactly why the free tier and the see-your-result-first trial exist.
It stays yours. Your experiments and verdicts remain readable, and you can export or delete them anytime. Cancelling only stops future billing.

Elyxis is built to be quiet: a daily check-in reminder, a trial-ending reminder, and a note when your Science Report is ready. Every type has its own toggle in Settings, and Elyxis degrades silently if you don't grant permission — it never nags.
Yes. Invite a friend with your code — they get the full 14-day trial, and when their first charge lands you get 14 days of Pro free. Rewards are held until a real first charge (nothing for sign-ups that never convert), it's one account per person, and abuse means clawback — honest rewards, honestly timed.
Elyxis is built for iOS and Android. Wearable integration uses Apple Health (HealthKit) on iPhone and Google Health Connect on Android.
Yes. We collect only what's needed to run your experiments and show your results. We never sell your data, and we never use your health or wearable data for advertising. You can export or delete your data at any time. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is scoped so that only you can read your own records. Sensitive health inputs get extra care. Security details live in our Privacy Policy.
In the European Union. We provision on EU infrastructure before any real user data is stored.
Yes. Health and wearable data is sensitive, so it's collected only with your explicit consent, used solely to compute your experiment results, and included whenever you export or delete your data. It's never used for advertising and never sold.
If you connect Apple Health or Google Health Connect, Elyxis reads only the metrics you approve and uses them solely to compute your experiment results. You can revoke access anytime — per metric in the app, or entirely in your device settings — which stops further collection.
Only if you opt in. Pooled evidence is anonymized and aggregate — it's what will power the Discover library's community numbers and make thin data sturdier as members opt in. It's off by default, revocable anytime in Settings, and never includes anything identifying. Opting out changes nothing about your own experiments.
Yes, anytime. You can export a copy of your data (JSON/CSV) and delete your data — or your whole account — from within the app; deletion purges production systems within 24 hours and backups within 30 days. Need a hand? Email support@elyxis.app.
