Your training data lives on your phone
IronPack is offline-first: the full app works with no account, no connection and no data leaving the device. This page explains the architecture in plain English. The formal legal version is the privacy policy.
Offline by default
Every workout, set, record, card and chart is stored in a local database on your iPhone. Logging, packs, records, heatmaps, quests and the whole game work in airplane mode, in a concrete-basement gym, forever. There is no account wall in front of any of it.
What happens if you create an account
An account (email, Google or Apple sign-in) does two things, both optional:
- Backup and sync: your training history is snapshotted to our server (Supabase) so a new phone restores everything. Sync merges rather than overwrites, so training on two devices does not lose data.
- Social: friends, leaderboards and weekly leagues need a server to compare records. Only what the boards need is published.
What friends and leaderboards can see
- Friends see your username, records on competitive lifts, weekly league XP and your card crest. That is the point of adding them.
- Pound-for-pound boards use DOTS scoring. The score is computed on your device and only the score is published, never your bodyweight and never your sex.
- Discovery is a switch you control, in Friends. New accounts start discoverable by username to friends-of-friends; turn it off any time. Either way, only your username is ever shown - never your lifts, body weight or email.
Diagnostics, not tracking
The app contains no advertising SDKs and no fingerprinting. If it crashes, it sends a report so we can fix it - the error, a stack trace, the app version, and nothing that identifies you: no name, no email, no account ID, no IP address, and none of your training data. Apple's App Store privacy label reflects this precisely: Diagnostics is collected, Tracking is not. Those are different things - tracking means linking you to data from other companies' apps for advertising, which this app has never done and does not do here either.
Leaving is a first-class feature
- Export: your full history exports to CSV from Settings at any time. It is your data.
- Import: arriving from another tracker? CSV import brings your history with you, free.
- Delete: account deletion is in-app, immediate and cascades through everything server-side. No email to support, no retention dance.
Fair questions
Do I need an account to use IronPack?
No. The entire tracker and the entire game work without one. An account only adds backup and the social layer.
Is my bodyweight shared when I use pound-for-pound boards?
No. The DOTS score is computed on-device and only the final number is published. Nobody, including your friends, can see the inputs.
What do you do with my data commercially?
Nothing. We do not sell data, we do not run ads, and the business model is a subscription for advanced analytics. The incentive structure points the same direction as your privacy.

Log everything offline. Sign in only if you want backup and rivals.
