Everything you need to write about XtrkR — screenshots, founder bio, fact sheet, and the story behind why a sexual health tracker for gay and bi men needed to exist.

01. The pitch in one sentence

XtrkR is a private sexual health tracker for gay and bisexual men — the first app to combine both injectable PrEP regimens (Apretude every 2 months, Yeztugo every 6 months) with site-specific STI testing, exposures, and partner history — alongside daily PrEP, DoxyPEP, vaccinations, and encounter logs, primarily stored on the user's iPhone (encrypted iCloud backup is opt-in). No XtrkR servers, no accounts, no third-party analytics. Free tier covers core logging; premium is dual-path: $129 one-time (Core) or $39.99/yr (XtrkR+, adds iCloud sync + Wrapped).

02. Fast facts

03. Why it exists

Most health-tracking apps were not built with gay and bi men in mind. PrEP doesn't fit cleanly into period trackers. Generic symptom diaries don't ask about exposure sites. And the apps that do serve queer health needs almost universally route data to a server — a server that could be subpoenaed, breached, or sold.

XtrkR was built around a simple constraint: data stays on the user's iPhone, not on servers I operate. As the developer, I do not have technical access to the health records users store in the app — it's an architectural posture, not a policy promise.

It also exists to close a gap the data keeps showing: only 37% of PrEP users report getting the rectal swabs CDC recommends at every visit, and 35% of ever-PrEP users have never had one. XtrkR makes site-specific testing cadence visible and actionable.

04. What's tracked

• Injectable PrEP — Apretude (cabotegravir, every 2 months) and Yeztugo (lenacapavir, every 6 months), with injection history and refill reminders
• Daily PrEP, 2-1-1, and DoxyPEP with adherence streaks and condomless-hookup reminders
• STI tests by site (rectal, pharyngeal, urethral, blood) with due-date logic
• Vaccinations (HPV, Hep A, Hep B, Mpox, Meningococcal) with multi-dose tracking
• Encounters with partners, mood, location, and configurable activity categories
• On-device insights (streaks, patterns, testing reminders) — no AI cloud calls

06. Founder bio

XtrkR is built and maintained by a solo developer through De Nihil LLC. After years of frustration with health apps that either ignored queer needs or treated personal health data as ad inventory, he set out to build the tracker he wished existed — one where data is stored on the user's iPhone, not on a developer-operated server.

07. Talking points

• First app to combine both injectable PrEP regimens with site-specific STI testing on-device. Apretude (cabotegravir, every 2 months) and Yeztugo (lenacapavir, every 6 months), tracked alongside exposures, partner history, and daily regimens — primarily stored on the user's iPhone (encrypted iCloud backup is opt-in).
• Privacy by architecture, not promise. Data is stored on the user's iPhone, not on servers I operate. There's no XtrkR server holding records to leak.
• Built for gay and bi men specifically. Four-site STI testing (rectal, pharyngeal, urethral, blood), PrEP adherence, mpox/HPV vaccination workflow.
• Closes the testing-cadence gap. Only 37% of PrEP users report getting CDC-recommended rectal swabs at every visit. XtrkR makes site-specific cadence visible.
• Zero third-party SDKs in the app. No in-app analytics, no automated crash reporting, no Firebase. Users can optionally share diagnostics from Settings. Verifiable with any network monitor.
• Encrypted backups are opt-in only. AES-256-GCM with a user-derived key.
• Solo founder, sustainable model. Dual-path pricing — $129 one-time Core (own it forever) or $39.99/yr XtrkR+ (adds iCloud sync + Wrapped). Both paths always available, both anchored by a published guardrail page (one-tap cancel, monthly receipts, 7-day renewal reminders, pro-rata refunds, grandfathered pricing). Free tier for core logging, no investors, no growth-at-all-costs pressure, no advertising, no data sales.
