Roadwork — last updated 10 August 2026

Roadwork is a training app for athletes. This page says what it stores, where, and who can see it. It is written to be read, not to be survived.

What stays on your device

Your training lives in your browser's local storage first: sessions, loads, RPE, recovery check-ins, notes, photos. The app works with no connection because of this. If you never create an account, nothing ever leaves your phone.

What syncs to your account

If you sign in, your training data is copied to our database so a lost phone doesn't cost you your history. It is stored under your user ID and protected by row-level security: no other athlete can read it, and neither can Roadwork's own review tools.

What other athletes can see

Only what you publish, and only these fields:

Nothing about what you lift, how you slept, what hurts, or what you told your coach. You can remove yourself from the rankings at any time in the app, and your own rating keeps working.

Your profile picture

A profile picture is the one image Roadwork treats as public. If you set one it is uploaded to our storage and given a link, and that link appears next to your name on your posts, in the athlete list and on your card. Anyone signed in can see it. Don't use a photo you wouldn't want other athletes to see.

Progress photos are the opposite and are handled separately. They never leave your device, never reach our servers, and no other athlete can ever see them.

Events you post

An open mat, seminar or competition you post is public to athletes in your sport, along with the venue, date and your name as the person who posted it. Only you — or Roadwork — can edit or remove it.

Coaches, and what they can see

Ticking I coach adds a coaching side to your account and records on your profile that you are a coach. It is not a status you can give yourself: you submit credentials and evidence, and a person reviews them, exactly as an athlete does.

On your own verification request you may optionally give your coach's email address. That one field is what makes that request visible to that coach, and it is the only thing that does — a coach cannot search for athletes or browse a queue. They see the request you filed and nothing else about you: not your training, not your recovery, not your weight, not your conversations with the coach in the app. Leave it blank and nothing changes except that nobody can vouch for you.

A verified coach can attach a vouch — a sentence confirming what they know about you, with their name and the date on it. A vouch is evidence Roadwork weighs. It is not an approval, and a coach cannot verify anyone, including their own students. Vouches are visible to you, to the coach who wrote one, and to Roadwork's review.

Reporting and blocking

If you report something, we store what you reported, the reason you chose, anything you typed, and your account id — a report has to be attributable or it cannot be acted on. The person you reported is never shown who reported them.

If you block someone, we store the pair of accounts and the date. They are not told. You can undo it in Profile & settings.

Location

Roadwork never asks for your device location and does not use GPS. Local rankings are built from a city you type in yourself, and leaving it blank simply means you appear on the global board.

Notifications

Optional. At most one a day, and only when something in your training data changed. To send them we store a push subscription for your device and your chosen send hour. Turn them off and it is deleted.

Talking to your coach

During the closed beta, the coach answers entirely on your device. Nothing you type in the chat leaves your phone, and the rest of this section does not apply yet. It is written here in advance so you know what changes if and when it does — you will be told before it is switched on.

When the AI coach is enabled, a question you type is sent to Anthropic, who run the language model that answers it. Alongside your question we send a summary of your training so the answer is about you and not about athletes in general: your sport and experience level, what you asked to be called, your readiness scores, your streak and recent session dates, today's session, any injuries you have recorded, your training location and equipment, an upcoming event, and the last few messages in the conversation.

We do not send your name, email address, exact location, photos, body measurements or food log.

This is the only part of Roadwork where your training data leaves our systems. Anthropic processes it to generate the reply. Per their API terms they do not use it to train their models, and they delete it after a short retention period. If you would rather this never happen, don't use the chat — every other feature works without it, and the chat itself falls back to answering from data already on your device whenever you are offline.

Your questions and the replies are stored in your own account so the conversation is still there tomorrow. Clearing the conversation deletes them.

Analytics

Roadwork records event names and counts — "workout completed", "coach opened" — with no payload attached. No content, no numbers from your training, no third-party analytics SDK, no advertising identifiers, no cross-site tracking. The record lives in your own account and you can see it.

Counting installs during the beta

Roadwork works fully without an account, which means we cannot tell "nobody is using this" apart from "people are using it offline". During the closed beta each device writes one row: a random id the device generated for itself, the day, whether it is installed to the home screen, and whether an account exists.

No name, no email, no user id, no IP, no training data, nothing that links two installs to the same person. Nobody can read it except Roadwork, and it is a count rather than a list. You can turn it off in Settings, and it ends when the beta does.

Children

Roadwork is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data. Many athletes are minors; if you are under 18, use Roadwork with a parent or coach who knows you are using it.

Deleting everything

You → Profile & settings → Delete account. It removes your account, your training history, your posts, your profile picture and anything you submitted for verification — including the review record of it. It cannot be undone and there is no grace period.

One exception, and it is deliberate: an academy you added to Roadwork stays listed, without your name on it. Other athletes at that gym depend on the listing, and removing a school because the person who submitted it left would break their pages.
