Support

GritRune is available on the App Store. Here’s help with its current features.

Version status: The current App Store release is 1.3.3. The refreshed interface, Custom Training Paths, and Forge Record are being tested for version 1.4 and are not yet in the public download.

Troubleshooting

Rest Timer Alerts are not appearing

  1. Open Profile → Settings in GritRune and confirm Rest Timer Alerts is enabled.
  2. Open iOS Settings → Notifications → GritRune and confirm notifications are allowed.
  3. Confirm Lock Screen, Notification Centre, Banners, and Sounds are enabled.
  4. Check Focus and Scheduled Summary settings, which can delay or silence alerts.
  5. Rest Timer Alerts only fire while a rest timer is running in the background or the device is locked — they are not needed while GritRune is in the foreground.

The Dynamic Island or Lock Screen timer looks stale

Live Activities update automatically while a rest timer is active. If a countdown looks frozen, ending the current rest timer (or finishing the workout) clears it. Live Activities run entirely on-device and do not depend on a network connection.

A past workout’s weight looks different after switching units

It shouldn’t. GritRune stores every weight canonically in kilograms and only converts it for display and entry. If a value looks wrong after switching between kilograms and pounds, please email a description of the workout and the values you expected — this is exactly the kind of report that’s useful during development.

Restoring a Full Backup

Full Backup and restore are reachable from Profile → Settings → Your Data. Restore previews the backup’s contents and asks for explicit confirmation before replacing your current data, and GritRune keeps a safety backup from immediately before the restore. Data Export, by contrast, is a readable copy for your own records and cannot be restored.

Frequently asked questions

Does GritRune sync between devices?

No. GritRune stores workouts, progression, and preferences locally on your device. There is no account or cloud sync in the current implementation.

How do I delete all app data?

Profile → Settings → Your Data → Delete All Data removes GritRune’s stored workout history, progression, and preferences from the app. Deleting the app itself removes GritRune’s local data from that iPhone; existing Apple device backups may retain a copy until they are deleted or expire under Apple’s policies.

Is GritRune free?

Core workout logging, routine editing, built-in Training Paths, basic history and records, backup and restore, earned progression, Runes, and the Cold Iron Character Card remain free. An optional one-time, non-consumable GritRune Pro purchase unlocks premium Character Card materials, Featured Rune display, and Hallmark Lift personalization. GritRune has no account or subscription.

What is coming to Pro in version 1.4?

Both features are included for existing lifetime Pro owners when version 1.4 becomes available. There is no new subscription or separate upgrade purchase.

Forge Record uses completed weighted working sets. It excludes warm-ups, skipped exercises, and bodyweight-only sets. The followed-lifts list is a local display preference and is not included in Full Backup; your saved workout history remains backed up.

How do I restore GritRune Pro?

Open Profile → Settings and tap Restore Purchases in the GritRune Pro section. Restoring checks the App Store for an eligible previous purchase. Delete All Data removes local GritRune records and preferences, but it does not remove App Store ownership of GritRune Pro.
