patchio Sports: Sync and data security

Without an account

patchio Sports works entirely without an account: training, your plan, the worldwide leaderboard, and friend and group leaderboards (including group challenges) are free for everyone. But here's the thing to know – everything lives only on your iPhone, locally. Get a new phone, or reinstall the app, and it's gone.

With a patchio account (Premium)

Sign in with your patchio account, and your data is backed up and comes back on every device – progress, records, and history. Every workout also flows automatically into your patchio health overview.

Sync is part of patchio Premium (your patchio subscription) – there's no separate purchase inside the sport app. In patchio, your synced sport sessions appear as “patchio Sports” and are read-only there (you edit them in the sport app).

Apple Health

If you'd like, patchio Sports connects to Apple Health: it reads your steps from there, and writes back water, weight, breathing minutes, and completed workouts – only with your permission, and always revocable in iOS Settings. Your health data is never used for advertising.
