BRACED: Strength Coach · Last updated 28 October 2026

BRACED is built so that your training stays yours. There are no ads, no tracking across other apps or websites, and nothing is ever sold.

Apple Health (iPhone)

With your permission, BRACED reads sleep, heart rate variability and resting heart rate to set how hard each session should be, and your sex, date of birth, height and bodyweight to set calorie and protein targets. Sleep, heart rate variability and resting heart rate are processed on your iPhone and never leave it. BRACED writes your finished workouts and the food you log back to Apple Health. Health data is never used for advertising and never shared with anyone.

Health Connect (Android)

On Android, with your permission, BRACED reads sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, height and weight from Health Connect. It uses them only to set how hard each session should be and to set calorie and protein targets, and it processes them on your phone. BRACED writes your finished workouts (as exercise sessions with an active calorie estimate) and the food you log to Health Connect. Data from Health Connect is never sent to our server, never used for advertising, never sold and never shared with anyone. You can change or remove BRACED's access at any time in Health Connect settings. BRACED's use of information received from Health Connect follows the Health Connect Permissions policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

What stays on your phone

Your profile, workouts, food log, weigh-ins and saved workouts are stored on your phone. If you don't sign in, that's the only place they exist.

Backup when you sign in (iPhone)

If you choose Sign in with Apple, BRACED backs up your profile (including bodyweight, height, birth year and sex), workouts, food log and saved workouts to our server so they survive a new phone. Your account is identified by an anonymous ID derived from your Apple sign-in; we don't store your name or email address. You can delete the backup and the account at any time in Setup > Account > Delete account.

Food search

When you search for a food or scan a barcode, the search text or barcode is sent to Open Food Facts to look it up. Nothing else about you is sent.

Subscriptions

Payments are handled by Apple on iPhone and by Google Play on Android. We never see your card details. We use RevenueCat to confirm your subscription is active; it receives your purchase records and an anonymous app ID, not your name or contact details.

Children

BRACED is not directed at children under 13.
