StockFit support
Tell us what is wrong and we will fix it.
StockFit is made by a small independent studio. Email reaches the people who wrote the app. We read every message and aim to reply within two business days.
The basics
What do I need to run StockFit?
An iPhone running iOS 18 or later. It also runs on iPad. There is no account to create, no sign-in, and no internet connection required. The app works fully offline, including on a plane or in a basement gym with no signal.
Do I need to create an account?
No. StockFit has no accounts, no email sign-up and no login. You open the app and start logging. Everything is keyed to the device rather than to an identity.
Can I use Siri with StockFit?
Yes. Say “Start Push Day in StockFit” (any of your recent routines) to open straight into a workout, ask “What's my Strength Index in StockFit?” or “How's my training week in StockFit?”, or check a single lift with “What's my bench in StockFit?”, for an answer without opening the app. Stock prices are spoken with StockFit+, the same as in the app. The same actions are in the Shortcuts app and Spotlight, where you can search for a stock by its ticker or its lift. StockFit answers on your iPhone and sends nothing to us. If Siri says a shortcut isn't available, open Profile ▸ Siri & Shortcuts in StockFit, tap StockFit shortcuts, then ⓘ, and turn on Siri.
My gym only has a seated leg curl. Can my hamstring stock still move?
Yes. Open the lift in Exercises and pick, under Stock, which version prices it: seated or lying leg curl, a machine or cable lateral raise, a rope or bar pushdown, a cable crossover or cable fly, and so on. If you finish a workout with a variant your stock has never seen, StockFit offers the switch right there. Your whole history re-prices from the lift you pick, so the chart has no jump where you switched. Each stock still tracks exactly one lift, which keeps your Strength Index counting the same thirty stocks. Squat and bench stay strict, and deadlift accepts sumo, as in a powerlifting meet. Dumbbell and barbell versions of a lift that load very differently, like DB bench and barbell bench, are separate stocks rather than variants.
What are the "stocks" and "ETFs"? Is this real trading?
No. Nothing in StockFit is a real financial product, and no money is involved anywhere. It is a way of visualising your own training. Each tracked lift gets a ticker (BENCH, SQUAT, DEAD) whose "price" is your estimated one-rep max for that lift, muscle groups roll up into basket "ETFs" like PUSH and LEGS, and all of it sums into a single Strength Index. The numbers are arithmetic on the sets you logged, presented in market clothing because a portfolio is a genuinely good way to see whether your training is moving.
Is StockFit medical or fitness advice?
No. It is a tracker and a motivational visualization. Its estimates, projections, "analyst estimates", recovery indicators and allocation verdicts are calculated from numbers you typed in, and it knows nothing about your sleep, nutrition, injuries or how you feel today. Talk to a qualified professional before starting a new program, and disregard anything the app shows when the two disagree. The full disclaimer is in the Terms of Use.
Your data
Where is my workout data stored?
On your iPhone, in the app's own database, and, if you are signed in to iCloud, mirrored to your own private iCloud account. It is never sent to us (we run no servers) and never shared with anyone. There is no analytics SDK, no ad network and no tracking of any kind in the app.
Does StockFit sync to iCloud or to my other devices?
Yes, automatically, if you are signed in to iCloud. Your workouts, routines, exercises, notes and progress photos are mirrored to the private iCloud database of your own Apple Account, so they are backed up and appear on your other devices. We cannot read it and are never sent a copy. Profile shows the sync status. To keep everything on one device, turn iCloud off for StockFit in the iOS Settings app. Appearance, notification settings and custom baskets stay on the device they were set on.
Does StockFit write to Apple Health?
Only if you switch it on, in Profile ▸ Apple Health. Each finished workout is then added to Health with its start time, duration, type and estimated calories. The iPhone app only writes; it never reads your Health data. On the Watch, with Apple Health on, the app reads your heart rate and active calories during a workout only. See the Apple Watch questions below, and the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
Does StockFit work with Strava?
Yes, through Apple Health. Turn on Profile ▸ Apple Health in StockFit, then in the Strava app connect Health (you'll find it under Settings ▸ Applications, Services, and Devices). Strava then imports your finished StockFit workouts from Health. StockFit has no direct connection to Strava and sends it nothing itself: Strava reads what you've allowed it to read from Health, under its own privacy policy.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. Profile ▸ Export lets you export a single workout or your entire history as a CSV file, one row per set. The file is generated on your device and handed to the standard iOS share sheet, so it goes only where you send it.
How do I delete my data, or request deletion?
Deleting a routine, workout or custom exercise moves it to Profile ▸ Recently Deleted, where you can restore it or remove it permanently. Deleting the app removes what it stored on the device, with two exceptions. Your iCloud copy stays in your iCloud storage until you remove it in iOS Settings under your Apple Account. And the iOS keychain keeps the date the free trial was used, plus any complimentary code you redeemed, so neither resets on reinstall. Those records hold a date and a kind, nothing else: no identifier, no personal information, and they are never transmitted. Because we never receive your data, there is nothing on our side to delete, but you are welcome to email us and we will confirm that in writing.
StockFit+ and billing
How do I manage or cancel StockFit+?
Subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple. On your iPhone open Settings, tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, then choose StockFit. You can switch plans or cancel there. Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
What does StockFit+ cost?
$4.99 per month or $29.99 per year, in US dollars. Apple sets the exact equivalent in other storefronts, and the price shown in the App Store at purchase is the one that applies. Both plans renew automatically until cancelled.
How does the free trial work?
New installs get a one-time 7-day trial of StockFit+ that is granted by the app itself, not through the App Store. It takes no payment method, creates no subscription, charges nothing and converts to nothing, so there is literally nothing to cancel. When it ends the app returns to the free tier with your data untouched; routines beyond the free limit are locked rather than deleted. Subscribing during the trial starts billing immediately and forfeits the rest of it.
I want a refund.
Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. We never see your payment details and cannot issue one. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple Account, find the purchase and request a refund. If Apple declines and you think something is genuinely wrong with the app, email us and we will help however we can.
I restored my purchase but StockFit+ is still locked.
Make sure the iPhone is signed in to the same Apple Account that bought the subscription, then use Restore Purchases on the StockFit+ screen. If it still does not unlock, email us with the Apple Account region and the approximate purchase date and we will work through it with you.
What is free, and what needs StockFit+?
Free covers unlimited workout history, unlimited logging, the exercise library, the rest timer, the Strength Index, post-workout earnings verdicts, cardio, CSV export and the app themes. StockFit+ adds the full portfolio of lift stocks and muscle-group baskets, next-session estimates and price targets on each stock's page, allocation and rotation analysis, custom baskets, unlimited routines, per-exercise progress charts, the muscle heatmap, the lifetime training calendar, routine sharing, the warm-up and plate calculators, and the custom accent color.
Notifications, timers and the Lock Screen
My rest timer notifications are not arriving.
StockFit needs notification permission to alert you when a rest period ends while you are out of the app. Check Settings ▸ Notifications ▸ StockFit and make sure Allow Notifications is on. Profile shows a warning row when permission is missing, and tapping it takes you straight to the right Settings screen. In-app, the timer also plays a sound over your music, which requires the Ring/Silent switch not be set to silent.
Why do rest notifications pile up in Notification Centre?
That is deliberate. Each finished rest period posts its own notification and they stay until you clear them, so a set you rested through is still visible when you pick the phone back up rather than being silently replaced.
The Live Activity is not showing on my Lock Screen.
Check Settings ▸ StockFit ▸ Live Activities is enabled, and Settings ▸ Face ID & Passcode ▸ Live Activities if your Lock Screen is locked down. During a workout the card shows elapsed duration and the rest countdown; when rest hits zero it turns green to prompt the next set, and tapping it opens straight back into the workout.
Can I turn off the progress updates?
Yes, in Profile ▸ Notifications ▸ Progress Updates. They start switched on, so you may get one before you go looking: expect at most four in any seven days, at most one a day, never outside 8am to 9pm, and every one of them triggered by something in your own history — a streak about to lapse, a week closing, a session you just finished. Turning them off sticks, and clears any that were already scheduled. Rest-timer alerts are separate and controlled by the timer itself.
Apple Watch
How do I get StockFit on my Apple Watch?
It installs with the iPhone app. If it has not appeared, open the Watch app on your iPhone, scroll to StockFit under Available Apps and tap Install. The Watch app needs the iPhone app to have been opened at least once, because your routines are sent to it from the phone.
Does the Watch work on its own?
Yes. It keeps a copy of your recent routines and their planned sets, so you can start and log a whole session with the phone in a locker or out of range. The session is held on the Watch and handed back the next time your iPhone is reachable, then saved into your history like any other workout. Your full training history is never copied to the Watch.
My phone workout is not showing on my Watch.
That is Live Sync, in Profile ▸ Apple Watch, and it is on by default. With it on, a workout running on the phone is mirrored to the wrist — the exercises, the sets you have logged, the rest countdown and the weight and reps queued up next — and sets you log from the wrist travel back. Check both apps are up to date, that Live Sync is on, and that the Watch is actually paired and in range. Turning Live Sync off leaves the Watch app working on its own.
Why does StockFit ask for Health access on my Watch?
Two separate reasons, and you can decline either. During a workout the Watch app reads your heart rate and active calories so it can show them on your wrist and so the session counts toward your activity rings; running that workout session is also what keeps the app alive between sets instead of being suspended when you lower your wrist. Separately, Live Sync uses a HealthKit call to open the Watch app when you start a workout on your phone, because that is the only API iOS provides for it — it writes nothing. Your heart rate stays on the Watch and in Health; it is never sent to your iPhone. Only the calories come back, with that workout.
The rest timer does not buzz my wrist.
The Watch app asks once for notification permission, on a screen before your first set. If you declined, re-enable it in the Watch app on your iPhone under StockFit ▸ Notifications. A rest started on the phone buzzes the wrist through the same link as everything else, so it also needs the Watch paired and in range.
Something is wrong
The app is slow, frozen or crashing.
Force-quit and reopen first: swipe up from the bottom of the screen, hold, then swipe StockFit away. If it persists, check for an app update in the App Store, and restart the iPhone. If it still happens, email us using the button above with your iPhone model, iOS version, the app version from Profile ▸ About, and what you were doing when it happened. That combination is usually enough for us to find it.
A number looks wrong.
Tell us which screen and which number, with a screenshot if you can. Two things account for most surprises: warm-up sets are deliberately excluded from one-rep-max estimates, and a "stock" only tracks one canonical exercise, so an incline dumbbell press does not move the bench ticker. If it is neither of those, we want to know.
I lost my workout history.
If you are signed in to iCloud, your history is mirrored to your iCloud account: sign in to the same Apple Account, open StockFit, give it a minute to sync, and check the sync status in Profile. Without iCloud, data lives only on the device, so the usual causes are deleting and reinstalling the app, or moving to a new iPhone without restoring from a backup. Restoring from an iCloud or computer backup made before the loss brings it back. We cannot recover data on our side because we never had a copy.
I have a feature request.
Send it. StockFit is built by one small studio and requests from people actually using it in a gym carry real weight in what gets built next.
Does StockFit work with VoiceOver, larger text, Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast?
Yes. On iPhone and iPad every control is labelled for VoiceOver and Voice Control, text follows your text-size setting up to the largest accessibility sizes, Reduce Motion stops the ticker tape and calms the transitions, and Increase Contrast switches the app's colours to stronger shades. The Accessibility page, linked at the bottom of every page, lists what is supported on each device and what is not yet.
Still stuck?
Email contact@summerlabs.dev with your iPhone model, your iOS version and the app version from Profile ▸ About. If it is a privacy or data question, the Privacy Policy answers most of them in detail, and the Terms of Use cover the subscription.
