Programs

Privacy policy

Effective

I’m Max Weinbach, the developer of Programs. The app has no accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking. I run no workout server and don’t sell data or share it for advertising. Programs doesn’t access your location, camera, microphone, contacts, or photos.

Where your training data lives

Your device stores your programs, logged sets, workout history, personal records, settings, and any body measurements you enter.

Programs and history sync through your private iCloud database (CloudKit) on the same Apple Account. I can’t read it. Some settings also sync through iCloud. Body measurements stay on the device where you log them. Your iPhone and paired Apple Watch also exchange workout data directly.

Apple Health and workout sharing

With permission, Programs reads workouts, heart rate, and active energy from Apple Health and writes completed workouts and active energy. Imported workouts and saved heart-rate summaries can sync with your history through private iCloud.

Health access is optional for iPhone logging and required for Watch recording. With Share Workout, you choose who receives a summary, which can include notes, heart rate, and calories. Programs never sells health data or uses it for advertising.

Generating a program

By default, Apple Intelligence generates programs entirely on your device.

Claude is off by default. Your own Anthropic API key is stored in this device’s Keychain. The app sends it only to Anthropic. Tapping Verify Key sends a fixed test prompt without workout data.

Before your first Claude program request, a consent sheet names Anthropic and lists what it will receive. Only after you tap Allow does Programs send these details to Anthropic to generate or refine your program.

  • Your description, refinements, program length, and workouts per week.
  • The app’s exercise list and your preferred weight unit.
  • Unless you turn off Use Recent Workouts, a summary of up to 12 strength exercises from the last 90 days. It includes exercise names, best-set weights and reps, and session counts.

Programs never attaches Apple Health records, saved workout notes, or your name. Anthropic receives what you type under your own API account. Read Anthropic’s privacy policy and API terms.

To withdraw consent on this device, choose Settings → Program Generation → Stop Sharing With Anthropic. With Claude selected, Remove Key deletes its saved key.

Apple features and diagnostics

Apple’s system handles Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, widgets, and Live Activities using data Programs supplies on your device. Crash and hang notes stay local. Apple may share crash reports with me if you enable sharing with developers in device settings.

Deleting your data

On iPhone or iPad, open Settings → iCloud → Erase iCloud & Start Fresh and confirm Erase Everything. This deletes workout records from iCloud and clears this device’s active workout database and body measurements. Other devices update on their next sync. General preferences remain. Programs keeps a local recovery copy of the old database and cleans up copies older than seven days when it runs.

Deleting the iPhone or iPad app removes local workout data. Use the erase option above to remove the iCloud copy. Manage Health workouts separately in Apple Health.

Children, changes, and contact

Children use the same data controls. A parent or guardian can contact me with questions about a child’s data.

I’ll update this page and its effective date when these practices change. For privacy questions, email me at max@weinbach.co.
