Support
Overload is made by one person. Write to me and you get me.
Report a bug or ask for something
What helps: what you did, what happened, and what you expected. A screenshot is worth a paragraph. If it involves your training data, You → Data → Export file and attach the JSON — it is only your own workouts, and it lets me reproduce the problem exactly.
Keeping your data safe
Overload stores everything on your phone, so a backup is up to you.
- One-off copy: You → Data → Export file, then send it somewhere safe.
- Automatic: You → Data → Backups, pick a folder (a cloud-synced one is ideal). Overload writes a backup after each workout and keeps the last ten.
- Restoring: You → Data → Import file → Replace.
Moving to a new phone
Export on the old phone, install Overload on the new one, then Import → Replace. The same applies when you move from a sideloaded copy to the Play version: Android treats them as different apps, so export first, uninstall, install from Play, and import.
Subscription questions
How do I cancel?
In the Play Store: your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Overload → Cancel. You keep everything until the period you have paid for runs out, and then the app falls back to the free plan. Nothing you made is deleted.
I subscribed but the app still looks locked
Open You → I already subscribed. That asks Play again. If it still says free plan, check you are signed in to the Play account that subscribed.
I paid but I want a refund
Google handles the money, so refunds go through Google Play. If something about the app pushed you to it, tell me too — that is useful.
Common questions
Why did the weight it suggested go down?
The engine reads your logged reps and reps-in-reserve. Two sessions under target, or reps falling below the range, and it proposes a step back. Every proposal shows its reason on the card, and you can always overrule it.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-in and no server.
Does it work offline?
Entirely. The only thing that needs a connection is checking your subscription with Google Play, and the last answer is remembered, so training offline is fine.
