The only app that knows yesterday was leg day.
Activity tracker, gym log and food diary on the phone you already own, free. The coach reads them together with your morning HRV and the weather, and tells you what to do today.
iOS: coming soon
An app for iPhone and Android. No credit card. Zero workouts on our servers: they stay on your phone.
Every morning
This is how it knows yesterday was leg day
Your running or cycling app sees your sessions, your gym app sees sets, your calorie counter sees meals. Forgade's coach reads them in one place, together with your morning HRV and the weather, and tells you what to do today. With the reasoning spelled out: if it doesn't convince you, ask it.
Not intervals today. Your cardio recovery says you could, but yesterday you loaded 4×8 of squats and your HRV dropped 8% overnight: same legs. Do 90′ in Z2, and leave before 10 — radar has rain from 11. Threshold on Thursday.
The tracker
It keeps recording with the screen off
Running, cycling, walking, hiking and 60 sports: GPS and any standard Bluetooth sensor on the phone you already own. Put it in your pocket: it keeps recording with the screen locked, reads your laps in your ear and talks you through the route. In intervals with a pace or speed target, a voice tells you to speed up or slow down. On the bike it also reads power and rear radar, and ClimbPro tells you how far to the top.
The plan
Runs, rides and gym in the same plan
Tell the coach your goal, the days you have and what's in your gym. It proposes the week: endurance sessions with their targets, gym sessions built from real exercises out of 1,324, filtered for the equipment you own and the areas to avoid. It saves nothing on its own: you look at the proposal and decide. For running, a race goal (5 km, 10 km, half or full marathon) gives you a ready-made plan, with sessions the cockpit walks you through. At the gym you log sets, RPE and supersets, and PRs and estimated 1RM update themselves.
Legs on Monday, threshold on Thursday: 72 hours in between. Upper body goes on Friday, so Saturday's long ride finds fresh legs.
Recovery
Recovery is measured, not guessed
Two minutes with a Polar H10 strap when you wake up, and you have your HRV. Sleep, resting heart rate and overnight HRV come in from Apple Health or Health Connect. The phone turns them into a readiness score from 0 to 100, and the muscle analysis shows which groups are still loaded and which you've skipped for a month. They're the same numbers the coach reads.
At the table
Know what you're eating, not just how many calories
Point the camera at the barcode: a quality score, additives with their risk level, macros and micronutrients. If the product scores poorly, the app finds a better alternative in the same category and you swap it in with a tap. Whole foods come from 755 entries in open EU and US composition tables. The diary counts calories, macros, water, recipes and supplements, and your target goes up on the days you train.

Your data
Your data is yours.
Where it lives, how your history comes in and how you take it back out. And a comparison that doesn't cheat.
Zero workouts on our servers
GPS tracks, gym sessions and food diary live in a database on your phone. You train offline and nobody reads them. If you want to see them in a browser, the cloud copy is your choice, on the Pro plan, and you can turn it off whenever you like.
Bring your history, and take it back
Past activities come in from Intervals.icu, gym sessions from Strong, Hevy and FitNotes via CSV, sleep and HRV from Apple Health and Health Connect. New activities upload to Strava and Intervals.icu, tracks export as GPX, structured workouts as .zwo for Zwift. A full backup in one file moves everything to another phone.
One app instead of four
Every category below does its own column well. The point is that you need four of them, and none of them sees what the others do.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Rear radar | Yes, Varia, Gardia, Magene | Yes, on compatible models | No | No |

| Morning HRV and readiness | Yes, 2-minute test with a strap | On some models | Only from connected devices | No |

| A coach that reads every domain | Yes, plus the weather | No | No | No |
| Data stays on your device | Yes, by architecture | Yes, then it syncs | No, it lives in the cloud | No, it lives in the cloud |
| Cost to get started | €0, the phone you already own | €300–700 of hardware | Free, key features paid | Two separate subscriptions |

Questions
Before you sign up
Why not just keep the four apps I already use?
Because they don't talk to each other, so joining the data stays your job. None of the four knows you did legs yesterday when it offers you intervals this morning. Forgade keeps everything in one history and the coach reads it together: you decide without doing the maths by hand.
Can it replace my sports watch or bike computer?
Yes: it reads the same Bluetooth sensors, shows your live data on the pages you choose and keeps you on the route with spoken directions. It keeps recording with the screen locked and reads your laps in your ear, so on a run the phone stays in your pocket. On long days out, keep a power bank with you.
Do my workouts stay mine?
Yes, and not because we promise: they live on your phone. They reach our server only if you turn on the cloud copy (Pro plan), and you turn it off whenever you like. Take them wherever you like, whenever you like: GPX for tracks, .zwo for structured workouts, activities uploaded to Strava or Intervals.icu, and a full backup in one file for switching phones.
Do I need a sensor to start?
No. The phone alone records your GPS track, speed, distance, elevation and time, and the gym and nutrition sides need nothing extra. Bluetooth sensors add heart rate, cadence, power and rear radar: any strap or meter speaking the standard GATT profiles will do. The morning HRV test needs a Polar H10 strap.
Which devices does it run on?
iOS and Android. There's a web version too, meant for reading synced history: you can't record an activity from the browser, because GPS and Bluetooth sensors live on the phone.
Does it work with no signal, up a mountain?
Yes. Recording, analysis, gym and diary all work offline: the data is already on the device. You only need the network for the AI coach, for weather and maps, for external integrations and for optional cloud sync.
Are maps paid?
Not the basic ones: Apple, OpenStreetMap, topographic and satellite maps are free. The Pro plan adds Thunderforest and Mapbox and the 3D live map.
Does live tracking send my position to your servers?
Only with the Beacon switched on, on the Lite and Pro plans. After 5 minutes without updates the position is no longer shown. With the Beacon off, nothing is sent.
What does the AI coach see of my data?
Only what the question you asked needs. It doesn't read your database: it asks the phone for the data it needs, and the phone answers with a summary. Plan proposals aren't saved until you approve them. Microsoft Azure OpenAI processes the messages, in Europe, and may keep them for up to 30 days solely for abuse monitoring. The conversation stays on our servers until you delete it: that is how the chat remembers what you were talking about.
If I change my mind, can I delete everything?
You can close the account from the app or from this page, without writing to us. Your email, remaining credits, your conversation with the coach, AI request metadata and the cloud copy, if you had it on, go; what's on the phone stays yours until you uninstall.
