Personal running coach for iPhone & Apple Watch
Need help or have feedback?
Email coachciansupport@gmail.com and we'll get back to you. Including your iOS version and what you were doing helps us fix things faster.
There is no account and no sign-in. On first launch you answer a few questions and CoachCian builds an adaptive training plan, stored on your device. Permissions (Health, Location and so on) are requested only when you first use the feature that needs them.
No. Everything works without a login. Your data lives on your device.
Health is used to recalibrate your training paces from past runs and to save the runs you record so they appear in your Activity rings. Location records your run route, distance and pace. You can review or change these any time in iOS Settings.
So your run keeps recording when your phone is locked or you switch to a music app. It is used only during an active run and a brief daily weather check.
Install CoachCian on your Apple Watch from the Watch app. It can record runs on its own, mirror a phone-tracked run, follow a planned route, and coach you with haptics and optional voice. If a run is interrupted, the watch recovers and saves it to Apple Health on next launch.
Go to Settings → Strava and authorize. CoachCian then uploads your own runs to your own Strava account. You can disconnect any time from the same screen.
iCloud backup is optional and off by default. Turn it on in Settings; your runs, routes and plans are saved to your private iCloud Drive (heart-rate and power data are stripped first).
Sharing a route or starting a live-safety share creates a temporary, unguessable link that opens a read-only map in any browser and then expires. Live-safety links never include heart rate.
Deleting the app removes all on-device data. To remove an iCloud backup, delete it from your iCloud Drive. There is no server-side account to delete.
