The short version

Lift Papi keeps your plans, swaps and workout history on your iPhone. There is no account, no ads and no tracking.

What stays on your phone

• Your setup answers and saved plans
• Your workout history, workout times, swaps, skips and exercise order
• Your saved places (if you save your gym), reminders and Inbox

This data is stored only in the app on your device. Settings › Export my data gives you a copy any time (a spreadsheet of every workout plus the raw files). Settings › Delete all my data, or deleting the app, removes it.

Location, reminders and your Inbox

If you save your gym, Lift Papi stores that spot on your iPhone and uses Apple's location services to notice when you arrive or leave, so it can show today's workout or offer to save it. Your location is never sent to us or anyone else, and you can delete saved places or turn location off in Settings at any time. Reminders, workout summaries and the workout timer on your Lock Screen are created on your iPhone too; nothing about them is sent to a server.

Coach and typed plans

When you ask Coach a question, type or say a plan in your own words, or change today, the text and a short summary of your workout are used to write the answer. Most answers come from rules built into the app and never leave your iPhone. For the questions those don't cover, and only after you tap Allow the first time (or turn on "Use Anthropic's AI for Coach" in Settings › Coach), Coach sends your message, your plan and your recent workouts (never your name or contact info) securely to our server, where it's answered by Claude, an AI model from Anthropic (10 answers a month on the free version, unlimited with Lift Papi Pro). Turn that switch off any time and Coach keeps to its built-in answers. Our server counts those answers against an anonymous id your iPhone makes (not tied to you, your Apple ID or your device) and doesn't keep your questions; Anthropic processes them only to write the answer, under its commercial terms, which don't allow training on them. Quick changes like Easy day, Bring back and Undo are handled by the app itself and never leave your phone.

Weekly email (Pro, optional)

If you turn on the weekly email in Settings, your iPhone sends that week's summary (number of workouts, time, streak, lift trends, what's up next) and your email address to our server, which passes it to our email provider to send the email. We keep only a note that the week's email went out, so it isn't sent twice; we don't keep the summary or your address. Turn it off in Settings any time.

News and offers (optional)

Separately, you can turn on "Email me Lift Papi news and offers" under the weekly email. Only then do we keep your email address and language on our server, to send occasional Lift Papi news and offers (each with an unsubscribe link). Turn the switch off, or use Delete all my data, and we delete the address right away. We never sell or share it.

Microphone

If you tap the mic to talk to Coach, Apple's speech recognition turns what you say into text, on your iPhone when it supports it. Lift Papi doesn't record or keep your voice.

Apple Health (optional)

If you turn on "Save workouts to Apple Health" in Settings, each workout you time with Start workout is saved to the Health app on your iPhone as a strength-training workout: start and end time, the day's name, your plan's name, and the moves and sets you logged. Lift Papi only writes workouts; it doesn't read anything from Health. Health data never leaves your iPhone through Lift Papi: it isn't sent to our server, shared with anyone, or used for ads or marketing. If you undo or delete a workout in Lift Papi, it's removed from Health too. Turn it off in Settings, or in the Health app under Apps › Lift Papi, any time.

Widget

The Up next widget shows your next workout. The app writes that summary to a file shared only with its own widget, on your iPhone.

Lift Papi Pro

Pro is bought and managed through your Apple account; we never see your payment details. To check that Pro is active, the app sends Apple's signed proof of purchase with Coach Pro requests, and our server keeps only a monthly count of those requests per purchase, to apply the fair-use allowance. Cancel any time in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions.

Health advice

Lift Papi gives general fitness information, not medical advice. If something hurts, stop and get it checked. See the Terms of Use.

Lift Papi isn't directed to children under 13.
