# getbased: Health intelligence that's actually yours

> getbased is a free, open-source personal health platform that integrates labs, DNA, wearables, light, and AI — all stored locally in your browser.

getbased is a personal health intelligence platform organized around a customizable dashboard and five lenses on your biology — Labs, Genome, Body, Light, and Insight. Every lens informs every other: your DNA shapes how labs are interpreted, your wearable physiology shapes which biomarkers matter most, your light environment shapes your sleep and hormones, and the AI synthesizes across all of them with full context. Your data lives in your browser by default, with optional local encryption and no account required.

The dashboard is the overview for the current profile. The lenses are the deeper workspaces. Recommendations turn signals from all lenses into data-linked next steps.

## Five lenses

| Lens        | What it covers                                                                                                                      |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Labs**    | 287+ biomarkers, reference ranges, trend charts, biological age (PhenoAge + Bortz), specialty labs (OAT, fatty acids, Metabolomix+) |
| **Genome**  | 47 curated SNPs, APOE haplotype, 39 mtDNA haplogroups, DNA-aware insights across lipids, methylation, vitamin D, and more           |
| **Body**    | Oura, Fitbit, Withings, Polar, Apple Health; manual biometrics; menstrual cycle tracking with phase-aware ranges                    |
| **Light**   | Sun exposure with atmospheric UV data, photobiology devices, indoor light environment, 8 measurement tools                          |
| **Insight** | AI chat with full health context, custom knowledge base, lifestyle context cards, Current Focus, and AI trend interpretation        |

## Core surfaces

| Surface             | What it does                                                                                                                   |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Dashboard**       | Customizable overview with focus, biological age, recommendations, priority markers, biometrics, light context, and key trends |
| **Recommendations** | Global action plan built from Labs, Body, Light, Genome, and Insight signals                                                   |
| **Compare dates**   | Side-by-side lab draw comparison                                                                                               |
| **Correlations**    | Marker pair scatter plots and preset relationships                                                                             |

## What makes getbased different

getbased is built around a few principles that set it apart from most health apps:

**Local-first.** Your profile data is stored in your browser using localStorage and IndexedDB. AES-256-GCM local encryption is optional in **Settings → Data → Security**. Nothing goes to a server unless you choose a network feature such as AI, sync, profile sharing, backup, or Agent Access.

**No account required.** Open the app and start using it. There is no sign-up or email. The hosted app may run anonymous cookieless usage stats for product health — no IP, no health data — and you can disable this in **Settings → Privacy**.

**Free and open-source.** getbased is licensed under AGPL-3.0. You can inspect every line, self-host it, or contribute.

**Several AI provider paths, including fully local.** You choose how AI works — pay-per-query with crypto, one-click OAuth, private-enclave modes, a privacy-first cloud provider, or a model running entirely on your own machine.

**Any lab PDF, any format.** The AI import pipeline reads lab reports from any country, language, or lab. There is no approved lab list.
