Questions

Straight answers.

Including the ones where the answer is “no” or “not yet”.

Does it work without internet?

Yes, and that is a design requirement rather than a nice extra. Starting a session, logging a set, swapping an exercise, finishing, the weekly check-in, water, steps and marking a meal eaten all work with the network off. The app is tested in airplane mode for two weeks before a release. The only screens that need a connection are the paywall, the billing screens and your first sign-in.

Why is it not on the Play Store?

It will be. Right now it is installed directly as an APK, which means Android shows you an “unknown source” warning — expected for any app installed outside the store, and not a sign that something is wrong. The download page explains the steps.

When is the iPhone version coming?

Honestly: when there is a Mac to build it on. An iOS build cannot be produced from a Windows or Linux machine, so Android ships first. Nothing in the app is written in a way that blocks iOS, but it will need its own pass over every screen before it is any good, and we would rather delay it than ship a bad port.

Do my progress photos get uploaded?

No. They are stored on your phone and there is no server-side place for them to go — the database the app syncs to has no table for photos, and the sync process skips them entirely. The flip side: if you delete the app they go with it, and we cannot recover them, because we never had them.

Is it in Somali?

Yes, from the first release, and not as a later retrofit — the app ships English and Somali together. Translation of the longer in-app copy is still being completed, and anything not yet translated falls back to English rather than showing you a broken string.

I have never lifted before. Is this for me?

Yes. It never asks you for a one-rep max — it starts from a light estimate and finds your real working load over two or three sessions. Each exercise carries a short text cue. What it does not have is video demonstrations, so if you are unsure of a movement, free YouTube is genuinely better at that than we would be.

What if I can only train at home with dumbbells?

That is one of the four onboarding questions. Your equipment list filters every exercise in the library, and anything you do not have is substituted rather than shown to you and skipped.

What happens if I miss a week?

Nothing bad. There is no streak to break and no backlog of missed sessions. If you train fewer days than you declared for two weeks running, the plan rebuilds itself at the number of days you actually train, keeping every load you have achieved.

Can I count calories in it?

No, on purpose. There is no food database and no calorie entry. The meal feature is a plan with swaps and one number, protein, with portions scaled from your bodyweight. Weighing food is the step that makes people quit in week two.

Is there a social feed or a community?

No. An empty room makes a paid product look abandoned, and we are not going to fake it. If there are ever enough active users for it to be alive on day one, it becomes worth revisiting.

Is there an AI coach to chat to?

No. Everyone shipped one and it does not keep people training. The adaptation is rules you can read on the how-it-works page, which we think is more trustworthy than a chat box.

Can I get my data out, or deleted?

You can ask for your account and everything attached to it to be deleted. Deleting the app removes the local copy, including every photo, immediately. Export is not built yet; if that matters to you, say so and it moves up.

Something not answered?

Ask, and it gets added here.
