Privacy policy

Overload is a training log that keeps your data on your phone.

Last updated 23 September 2026

What Overload stores, and where

Everything you enter — exercises, templates, programs, logged sets, notes, settings — lives in one file inside the app's private storage on your phone. Other apps cannot read it. I cannot read it. It is removed when you uninstall the app.

Who I share it with

Nobody. Overload contains no analytics, crash-reporting or advertising libraries, and sends no copy of your data anywhere.

The three places data can leave the app, all of them yours to start

Google Play (subscription)

Overload uses Google Play Billing to know whether your subscription is active. That means the app talks to Google Play on your device — never to me — and receives only a yes or no plus the price to display. I never see your name, email, card or address; Google is the merchant and handles the payment. See Google's privacy policy.

Health Connect (off by default)

If you turn on Health Connect in the app, each finished workout is written to Health Connect on your phone as an exercise session. You choose whether to grant that permission, and you can revoke it or have Overload delete everything it wrote, at any time, from the app's settings.

Export and backups (only when you ask)

You can export your data as a JSON file, copy it as text, export a CSV, or pick a folder for automatic backups after each workout. Those files go where you send them — your own storage, your own cloud folder, a message to yourself. Once a file leaves the app it is covered by whatever service you put it in, not by this policy.

Permissions, and why

• Notifications — the rest timer and the workout notification on your lock screen.
• Vibration, wake lock, foreground service — so the rest timer is accurate and the workout keeps running with the screen off.
• Draw over other apps — only if you turn on the floating rest bubble.
• Run at startup — to restore a workout in progress after a restart.
• Internet and network state — added by the Google Play Billing library so it can reach Play. Overload makes no network requests of its own.
• Health Connect (write exercise) — only if you turn on the Health Connect option.

Children

Overload is a weight-training log meant for adults. It is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.

Deleting your data

You can wipe everything from the app under You → Delete everything, or uninstall Overload, which removes its storage. If you turned on Health Connect, use You → Health Connect → Remove from Health Connect first to delete what Overload wrote there. Because I hold no copy of your data, there is nothing for you to request from me and nothing for me to delete on your behalf.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version appears on this page with a new date. Overload is in early access and the app is changing quickly; this policy will be kept honest as it does.

This website

These pages are static files hosted on GitHub Pages. There are no cookies, no analytics and no tracking scripts. GitHub records the usual server request logs, including your IP address, as any web host does — see the GitHub Privacy Statement.

The roadmap page asks GitHub's public API for the list of open issues when you open it, so your browser makes a request to github.com. Nothing about you is sent with it beyond what any web request carries. The report form runs entirely in your browser and sends nothing anywhere until you press a button — at which point it either opens GitHub, where your own account posts the issue, or opens your mail app. Issues on GitHub are public, so do not put anything private in one.
