Current app data

NextCoach stores your selected goal and focus, daily plans, completion history, normalized training, nutrition and recovery records, exercise history, coaching memories, source attribution, and import receipts locally in the app’s private storage on your device. The current app does not require an account and does not include advertising, analytics, tracking, cloud sync, or remote model processing.

NextRep and NextMeal

You can connect NextRep or NextMeal once for automatic local updates when NextCoach opens or returns to the foreground. On Apple devices, compatible apps exchange a limited versioned snapshot through an App Group shared only by Software Deck apps on the same development team. On Android devices, NextCoach reads a compatible app’s read-only content provider, which is protected by a same-signature permission. This connection does not run continuously while NextCoach is terminated and does not upload data to Software Deck or a model service.

You can also share a local NextRep or NextMeal export as a manual backup. The operating system delivers that selected file to NextCoach, which reads it once and applies the same validation. NextRep can contribute completed workouts, readiness, bodyweight, and exercise performance; NextMeal can contribute daily nutrition totals and targets.

NextCoach records which values came from each app so repeated delivery can update safely. Disconnecting NextRep or NextMeal disables its automatic reads and removes only values and receipts attributed to that app; unrelated manual or platform records remain.

On-device intelligence

The app can check whether Apple Foundation Models or Google Gemini Nano through Android AICore are available on the device. This availability check does not send coaching history to Software Deck. Deterministic rules produce the current recommendations and reviews even when a model is unavailable. Any future model-generated explanation must run through the operating system’s supported on-device service with no remote fallback.

Permissions and network access

The current app does not request camera, microphone, health, location, contacts, notification, broad file, or network permissions. The first-party Apple App Group entitlement and Android same-signature permissions do not expose your records to unrelated apps and do not show a runtime permission prompt. Opening a manual export uses the operating system’s user-initiated document or sharing interface. Before any future sensitive permission, NextCoach will explain the purpose in the app and wait for your action before the system prompt. A feature that changes this behavior requires an updated implementation, policy, privacy declaration, and store disclosure before release.

Deletion

Removing the app removes its local data according to your operating system’s app-data behavior. Device backups may be retained by the platform under your own backup settings.
