FAQ

Rungs runs in your browser and installs like an app: an icon on your home screen, full screen, and sessions that keep working offline. No app store needed.

Install the app

iPhone and iPad (Safari)
  1. Open goal-coach-app.vercel.app/app in Safari and sign in.
  2. Tap ⋯ next to the address bar (or the Share button, a square with an arrow), then Share.
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen. Leave "Open as Web App" switched on.
  4. Tap Add. Rungs is now on your home screen.

The installed app has its own sign-in, separate from Safari: sign in once more inside it. Re-test reminders on iPhone work only in the installed app (iOS 16.4 or newer).

Android (Chrome)
  1. Open goal-coach-app.vercel.app/app in Chrome and sign in.
  2. Tap ⋮ (top right), then Install app. On some phones it says Add to Home screen.
  3. Confirm with Install. Rungs appears on your home screen and in the app drawer.

Chrome may also offer "Install Rungs" at the bottom of the screen by itself.

Samsung Internet
  1. Open goal-coach-app.vercel.app/app and sign in.
  2. Tap ☰ (bottom right), then Add page to, then Home screen.
Computer (Chrome, Edge or Safari on a Mac)
  1. Chrome or Edge: open the app and click the install icon at the right end of the address bar (a screen with an arrow), or menu, then Install Rungs.
  2. Safari on a Mac: open the app, then File, then Add to Dock.

Sessions are made for the phone, but the plan and progress read well on a big screen.

Common questions

Do I have to install it?

No. Everything works in the browser. Installing adds the icon, full screen, offline sessions and, on iPhone, reminders.

Does it work without internet?

Yes, during a session. Once the app has opened online, a session you finish offline is saved on your phone and uploads when you're back online.

How do reminders work?

Settings, then Remind me. You get a notification on re-test days. Without notifications, we send a short email instead; you can switch that off in Settings.

How do I sign in?

With Google. Any Google account works, including one created with a non-Gmail address. There's no password to remember.

Is this coaching or medical advice?

No. Rungs is a planner and tracker that turns your own test results into a plan by fixed rules. Train only when you feel fit for it, and stop any exercise whenever something doesn't feel right.

Plans and data

What do I get for free?

One goal with everything: the baseline test, the full plan, re-tests, the projected date and reminders. No card needed.

When do I pay?

Only when you start a second goal. Pro covers every goal at the same time; a single goal is a one-off purchase.

Can I cancel?

Yes, in Settings with one tap. Pro stays active until the end of the paid year.

What happens to my data?

It's stored in the EU, you can export it at any time, and deleting your account deletes it.
