Support
Overload is made by one person. Write to me and you get me.
Report a bug or ask for something
What helps: what you did, what happened, and what you expected. A screenshot is worth a paragraph. If it involves your training data, You → Data → Export file and attach the JSON: it is only your own workouts, and it lets me reproduce the problem exactly.
Keeping your data safe
Overload stores everything on your phone, so a backup is up to you. The privacy policy covers what Overload stores, and where.
- One-off copy: You → Data → Export file, then send it somewhere safe.
- Automatic: You → Data → Backups, pick a folder (a cloud-synced one is ideal). Overload writes a backup after each workout and keeps the last ten.
- Restoring: You → Data → Import file → Replace.
Moving to a new phone
Export on the old phone, install Overload on the new one, then Import → Replace. The same applies when you move from a sideloaded copy to the Play version: Android treats them as different apps, so export first, uninstall, install from Play, and import.
Coming from another app
Strong and Hevy CSV exports import directly, and Overload matches them to your lifts. You → Data → Import file, then pick the CSV. You can also import a previous Overload export.
Subscription questions
None of these apply yet: Overload is free for everyone while it is in early access, through 31 December 2026. They are here for when the subscription starts, and for anyone who chose to subscribe early. See what the gym log costs after 2026.
How do I cancel?
In the Play Store: your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Overload → Cancel. You keep everything until the period you have paid for runs out, and then the app falls back to the free plan. Nothing you made is deleted.
I subscribed but the app still looks locked
Open You → I already subscribed. That asks Play again. If it still says free plan, check you are signed in to the Play account that subscribed.
I paid but I want a refund
Google handles the money, so refunds go through Google Play. If something about the app pushed you to it, tell me too. That is useful.
Common questions
Why did the weight it suggested go down?
The engine reads your logged reps and reps in reserve. Two workouts under target, or reps falling below the range, and it proposes a step back. Every proposal shows its reason on the card, and you can always overrule it.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-in and no server.
Does it work offline?
Entirely. The only thing that needs a connection is checking your subscription with Google Play, and the last answer is remembered, so a week without signal changes nothing. More in the FAQ.
