Coach

A coach that knows your training

// Walkthrough

Chat from anywhere

Open Coach from any hub or the // COACH line on Today. Ask about your progress, plan a workout, or get unstuck. Coach also leaves a short note on Today each day.

Coach can take action

Coach can draft workouts, edit your routine, schedule sessions, and log activity — every one of those waits on your Save. Two things Coach does save on its own, as you mention them: a note to itself, and your training profile — goal, days per week, experience, equipment, session length, limits. Both live under Settings › Coach, yours to change or delete.

Your data, your controls

Coach sees your routine, history, streak, and the messages and photos you send. When you tell it something durable — your equipment, an injury, a goal — it saves that as a note, and in your training profile where there is a field for it, so it doesn't ask twice. Both live under Settings › Coach, yours to change or delete. Turn the daily Today note off in Settings › Preferences; clear the chat from Coach's ··· menu.

// Frequently asked

What is Coach?

Coach is a conversational trainer built into NOWISLIFE. Open it from any hub or the // COACH line on Today to ask about your progress, get advice, build a workout, edit your routine, or log a session. Coach also writes a short personalized note on your Today page each day.

What can Coach do on my behalf?

Coach can propose actions — create a workout, add or edit routine entries, schedule a workout, log a session, catch up on overdue work, contribute to a team challenge, or delete a session. Every action is staged as a card and nothing is saved until you tap Save (or the armed two-tap confirm for destructive ones). Coach can't change anything without your explicit confirmation.

What data does Coach see?

When you chat, Coach has access to your first name, current routine, workout history, completed sessions, streak, scheduled workouts, top-trained exercises, the notes Coach keeps about your training patterns, and your team challenges if relevant. If you have connected Apple Health and allowed it, Coach is also given your recovery numbers — resting heart rate, HRV, and last night’s sleep. If you attach a photo (e.g. a whiteboard), the image is sent to Anthropic for parsing. Your email, password, and account details are never shared with the model.

Can I turn Coach off, or clear my chat?

Yes. Turn the daily Coach note off in Settings › Preferences — with it off the message isn't generated at all, not just hidden. To clear the chat, open Coach, tap the ··· menu in the header, and choose "Clear conversation." Coach also clears the thread on its own after 24 hours with no new messages.

What if I attach a photo Coach can't parse?

If the photo isn't a workout (a person, a meal, a UI screenshot, etc.), Coach will say so rather than invent one. Whiteboard photos, program screenshots, set/rep lists, and notebook pages all work. Images are resized on your device before upload and held only as long as the chat turn runs.
