Last updated 26 August 2026
The short version
CoachMeSimple does not collect your data, because CoachMeSimple has nowhere to send it. There is no account, no server, and no analytics. Everything the app knows about you stays on your iPhone.
What the app reads
With your permission, CoachMeSimple reads the following from Apple Health:
- Running workouts — date, distance, duration, source
- Distance walking and running
- Heart rate and resting heart rate
- Heart rate variability
- VO₂ max
- Date of birth
It uses these to estimate how fast you currently are and to decide how hard your next training session should be. It never writes anything to Apple Health.
Where that data goes
Nowhere. It is stored in the app's own database on your device, protected by iOS file encryption, and is deleted when you delete the app or tap Settings → Start over.
CoachMeSimple makes no network requests. It has no analytics, no crash reporting that transmits, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party SDKs. It works with no network connection at all.
Coaching notes
The written coaching notes are generated on your device by Apple's Foundation Models framework. Your training data is not sent to Apple, to us, or to anyone else in order to produce them.
Apple Watch
When you send a session to your Apple Watch, it is scheduled through Apple's WorkoutKit and stays between your iPhone and your own Watch. Nothing about it reaches us.
iCloud
CoachMeSimple does not currently sync anything to iCloud. If a future version syncs your goal and training preferences, it will use your own private iCloud database, which we cannot read, and your running data will still never leave your device.
Children
CoachMeSimple is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.
Not medical advice
CoachMeSimple is a training tool. It does not diagnose or treat anything, and its use of resting heart rate and heart rate variability is limited to deciding how hard a training session should be. If something feels wrong, see a doctor rather than an app.
