Coach Steely Privacy Policy

Effective October 31, 2026

Coach Steely is a training app for iPhone and Apple Watch. It is built so that your training stays yours: there is no account, no server of ours that your data goes to, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.

What the app keeps, and where

Your workouts, sets, training blocks, exercises, feedback answers and settings are stored on your iPhone and sent directly to your paired Apple Watch, so the two stay in step. This goes from one device to the other through Apple's own connection between iPhone and Apple Watch; it does not pass through us. We never receive it.

Like other app data, it can be included in your device backups (iCloud Backup or a computer backup) if you have those turned on. Those backups are controlled by you and Apple, not by us.

While you rest between sets, the rest timer shows on your Lock Screen as a Live Activity, with the exercise and the next set. Anyone who can see your phone's screen can see it there. You can turn Live Activities off for Coach Steely in Settings.

Apple Health

With your permission, Coach Steely:

• reads your heart rate and active energy during a workout, to time your rest between sets and record what the session took; and
• saves your strength training sessions to Health as workouts, with the heart rate and active energy recorded during them.

Health data is used only for these purposes, stays on your devices, is never shared with anyone, and is never used for advertising or marketing. You can change or remove these permissions at any time in the Health app or in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health.

Motion

With your permission, Apple Watch's motion sensors are read during a set to count your reps and measure bar speed. This happens on the watch, and only the results — reps, timing, speed — are kept with your sets.

If you turn on Record counted sets (Settings → Apple Watch → Rep Counter Recordings), the raw motion of each counted set is also saved on your iPhone, with what the watch counted and what you logged, to help improve the rep counter. It is off unless you turn it on. These recordings leave your iPhone only if you tap Export Recordings and send the file somewhere yourself. Delete Recordings on the same page erases them.

Exporting and importing

Export Training Data (Settings → Data) writes your whole training log to a file, and you choose where it goes: Files, AirDrop, a message to yourself. We never see it. Whoever you send it to can read your training history, so share it only with people you mean to.

Import or Restore reads a Coach Steely export, or an export file from another training app, on your iPhone and adds its contents to your log there. Nothing is uploaded.

Purchases

Coach Steely Pro subscriptions are sold and managed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment details. The app checks with the App Store, on your device, whether your subscription is active. You can manage or cancel it in Settings → your name → Subscriptions.

Deleting your data

In the app, Settings → Data → Delete All Training Data erases every workout, block and custom exercise from your iPhone and Apple Watch; your settings stay. Deleting the app from both devices removes everything it stores, settings included. Files you exported yourself, and workouts saved to Health, stay where they are until you delete them there.

Children

Coach Steely is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. As described above, the app does not send personal information to us at all.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If a change affected how your data is handled, the app would tell you before it took effect.
