Reach out.
HGB is built by one person. Replies are slower than a help desk and warmer than a chatbot — usually within two business days, unless we're on vacation. We're European folks; we love our vacations.
Tip Jar.
HGB is independently funded — no investors, no ads, no upsell. If you get value from the app, a tip helps cover the developer subscriptions and the hosting that keeps this site running.
Support HGB on your own terms, just like the rest of the app. Each tip is a single, one-off action — nothing recurs — but you're welcome to tip again whenever you feel like it. Nothing unlocks, and every feature stays free for everyone. App Store prices may vary by region.
- Spotter €1.99 Buys the coffee that gets a bug fixed.
- Buddy €4.99 Feeds the server its monthly protein shake.
Open Home Gym Buddy → Settings → Support HGB to leave a tip. Tips are one-off, non-recurring, and non-refundable per Apple's standard terms — tip as often or as rarely as you like.
Frequently asked questions.
Q.01 How do I import my workout program? +
Export the spreadsheet template from the app to iCloud Drive. Open it in Numbers or Excel, fill in your workout plan following the template structure, save it, then use Import in the app to load it back.
The format is fixed — add rows and fill in content, but don't change the number of columns or rename them. The app relies on the exact column structure to read your program correctly. See the Template Guide for column-by-column details.
Q.02 Do I need to create an account? +
No. There is no sign-in, no email field, no profile to create. The app is on your phone. Open it and it works.
Q.03 Can I use the app without an internet connection? +
Yes — Home Gym Buddy runs entirely offline. An internet connection is never required.
Q.04 Where is my data stored? +
All your data is stored locally on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to any server. If you export your program to iCloud Drive, that copy lives in your personal iCloud account, governed by Apple's policy — not ours. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Q.05 What happens if I delete the app? +
Deleting the app removes all locally stored data. Export your program to iCloud Drive before uninstalling if you want to re-import it later.
Q.06 Can I pause a workout and come back to it? +
Yes. You can pause any session and resume it later without losing your place or any logged sets.
Q.07 Does the app track my location or health data? +
No. Home Gym Buddy does not request access to your location, HealthKit, or any other sensitive system data.
Q.08 I found a bug. How do I report it? +
Email support@homegymbuddy.com with a description of the issue and your iOS version. Screenshots are welcome and very helpful.
