It starts on your phone
Every workout, routine, injury flag, measurement and setting is written to your device the moment you log it, which is why Solyd works in a basement gym with no signal. There is no account to make, and nothing has to leave.
Solyd · Privacy
Solyd is local-first. Your workouts, routines, injuries, measurements and settings live on your device and go nowhere unless you choose to sign in for backup. No ads, no analytics, no trackers, and nothing sold, ever.
Effective September 4, 2026
Every workout, routine, injury flag, measurement and setting is written to your device the moment you log it, which is why Solyd works in a basement gym with no signal. There is no account to make, and nothing has to leave.
Signing in is a backup, not a requirement. Only then does anything leave your phone, and only your workouts, routines and settings, scoped to your account by row-level security so no other Solyd user can reach them. Your progress photos and the workout in progress never sync at all.
No ads, no analytics, no crash reporting, no tracking SDKs of any kind. Nothing you tap is counted or sent anywhere. There is one exception, written out below: when a search of the exercise library finds nothing and you are signed in, the words you typed are sent so we can add the movement.
Export your history as a CSV or a JSON backup through your own share sheet. Delete a single item, wipe everything with Delete all data, or delete the account itself from Profile: it goes immediately, on the device and in the cloud, and you never have to ask anyone.
The full policy
By default everything you create lives only on your phone, in the app’s own storage, and is not transmitted to us or to anyone else:
You can delete any single item, or wipe all of it at once with Profile, Delete all data.
Signing in is optional and exists so your training can follow you to a second device. If, and only if, you create an account, these are synced to our backend:
Not synced, even when signed in: the workout currently in progress, and your progress photos. Signing in, signing out, and syncing a second device never move them.
Every synced row is scoped to your account by row-level security, so no other Solyd user can reach it. Deleting something removes it from the cloud on the next sync, and Delete all data clears both copies.
You can create an account with a magic email link, Sign in with Apple, or Sign in with Google. Your email address, or the identity token and name from Apple or Google, is sent to our backend to create and authenticate the account. Your session is then kept on your device so you stay signed in.
Guest mode requires no account and no personal information at all.
If you turn it on and grant permission, Solyd uses Apple Health for two things:
Those five are read when a screen needs them, used there, and never stored by the app. They are never sent to our servers or to anyone else.
Body weight is the exception, and it is deliberate. A reading from Apple Health is filed alongside the weigh-ins you log, because the point of connecting Health is that the two become one history you can chart and correct. So it is stored on your device like any other weigh-in, and if you have turned on cloud backup it is backed up with the rest of your history. Nothing else from Apple Health is stored or synced.
You control the permission in the app and in iOS Settings. Decline it and the app says so instead of estimating.
The app ships with the exercise library built in, and refreshes it from our backend so it stays current. That reference data is public and identical for everyone, and no personal information is sent with the request. It happens on launch, including in guest mode, so as with any app that touches the network your device’s IP address is visible to our backend as ordinary request metadata.
Searches that find nothing. If you are signed in and a search of the library returns no results, the app sends us the words you typed, so we can add the movements people are actually looking for. That is the whole of it: the text, and whether you were searching the library or building a routine. It is not linked to your account, the stored record carries no user id, and if you are not signed in nothing is sent at all. This is the only telemetry in Solyd.
That is the complete list. We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers or analytics companies, and we do not sell it.
There are no third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking SDKs in the app. It does not collect your location, advertising identifiers or device IDs, your contacts, your microphone or your browsing history. There is no advertising in Solyd, and nothing you do in it is measured or reported back to us: no screen views, no session lengths, no feature counts, no crash reports. The single exception is the failed-search log described above.
Photos and camera. Solyd can take progress photos and set a profile picture, so it does use the camera and photo library, with your permission and only at the moment you choose to. Nothing captured is transmitted to us. The only way a progress photo leaves your device is if you tap Share and pick where it goes.
You can export your history as a CSV, or your whole history as a JSON backup, through your device’s share sheet. Where that file goes is entirely your choice. The app does not send it anywhere.
Depending on where you live, for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or CCPA and CPRA, you may have further rights to access, correct, delete or restrict processing. Write to us and we will action them.
Data on your device is kept until you delete it or uninstall the app. Synced data is kept until you delete it or delete your account. We hold account and identity data only for as long as the account exists.
Data on your device is protected by your device’s own operating system. Everything in transit to our backend uses HTTPS. Cloud data is isolated per account by row-level security. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but these are the measures we take.
Solyd is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, write to us and we will delete it.
Our backend is hosted in Sydney, Australia. If you use cloud sync from outside Australia, the data described in sections 2 and 3 is transferred there and processed there. Everything else stays on your device and is transferred nowhere.
If how Solyd handles your data changes, this page and the effective date at the top are updated before that change ships.
