Where is my data stored?

All workout data lives on your iPhone. You can optionally enable automatic backups to your own private iCloud Drive from Settings inside the app.

How do I back up or restore my workouts?

Open Settings in the app. Use Export Backup to save a backup file, or Import Backup to restore one. With automatic backups enabled, Simple Gym snapshots your data to iCloud Drive after workouts.

Why don't I see heart rate data on my workout summary?

Heart rate analytics need permission to read from Apple Health. Check the iOS Settings app under Privacy & Security → Health → Simple Gym. Wearing an Apple Watch during your workout gives the best heart-rate coverage.

How do personal records work?

When a logged set beats your previous best for an exercise, Simple Gym automatically records it as a personal record — you'll see it celebrated on the workout summary.

Can I create my own exercises?

Yes — tap the settings gear, choose Custom Exercises, and add as many as you like. Custom exercises get the same logging, history, and progress charts as built-in ones.

What does the rest timer's Live Activity do?

When you log a set, the rest timer appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island so you can watch the countdown without unlocking your phone.
