Questions
Where is my data stored?
On your device only. Maxes has no account and uploads nothing. If you delete the app, its data is deleted with it, so make a backup first (Settings › Backup › Back Up Now).
How do I move Maxes to a new phone?
On the old phone: Settings › Backup › Back Up Now and save the file to iCloud Drive or AirDrop it. On the new phone: install Maxes, then Settings › Backup › Restore from Backup and pick the file. Restore offers Replace or Merge, and a safety copy is made before it runs.
Can I switch between kilograms and pounds?
Yes, in Settings › Athlete › Units. Entered values are never rounded; converted values round to the nearest 0.5 in the unit you see.
How do I turn disciplines on or off?
Settings › Athlete › Disciplines. Each movement belongs to one discipline, and the tabs group by the disciplines you have on, in the order you set there.
What does the estimated 1RM mean?
When you have logged a 2, 3 or 5 rep max but no single, Maxes shows an estimate for the 1RM and marks it as such. Log a real single and the estimate is replaced.
Siri does not understand “Add a PR to Maxes”
Siri needs the app to have been opened once after install. Try “Add a bench press PR to Maxes”. In another language, use the app's wording for that language. Siri intents are handled by Apple on the device; nothing reaches us.
Can I get my data out?
Always. Settings › Spreadsheet exports every entry to an Excel file, and Settings › Backup writes one backup file with everything, including videos. Both are yours to keep.
I deleted an entry by mistake
Tap Undo in the banner that appears right after. If the banner is gone, restore from your latest backup.
I found a bug
Email apps@fewthings.app with what you did, what you expected, and a screenshot if you have one. Bugs that lose data are fixed first.
Requests
Maxes tracks PRs and nothing else, on purpose. We still want to hear what would make that faster or clearer. Training logs, macros and social features belong in other apps.
Privacy
Your data stays on your device in the current version. The details are in the privacy policy.
