The products
What is Forged Temple?
Two connected products: Forged Macro, an iOS app where athletes track macros, meals, weight, and weekly check-ins — and the Coach Platform, a web dashboard where coaches review those check-ins, author plans, and message their roster.
Do I need a coach to use Forged Macro?
No. Forged Macro works fully self-guided. Connecting to a coach adds plan delivery and check-in reviews on top.
Is there an Android app?
Not yet — iOS first. Android is on the roadmap.
What does the AI body-fat estimate do?
On a check-in review, coaches can request an AI-generated body-fat range from the athlete's check-in photos (with the athlete's explicit consent). It's a coaching aid, not a medical measurement.
Coaching & connecting
How does an athlete connect to a coach?
The coach sends a one-time invitation link from the dashboard. The athlete taps it on their phone (or pastes the code in the app), and the link is locked to their email. Invitations expire after 7 days.
Who pays for a connected athlete's app access?
The coach chooses per invitation: a coach-paid seat (the athlete pays nothing) or self-pay (the athlete keeps or starts their own app subscription).
Can an athlete leave a coach?
Yes, anytime, from inside the app. Their data stays with them and the app reverts to self-guided mode.
Can a coach remove an athlete?
Yes — removal is immediate, frees the seat, and never touches the athlete's own subscription or data.
Billing
How is the Coach Platform billed?
Self-serve via Stripe — subscribe by card, manage or cancel anytime in the billing portal. Plans are sized by athlete seats.
How is Forged Macro billed?
Through Apple, as an auto-renewing App Store subscription managed in iOS Settings → Subscriptions.
What happens to my athletes if I stop coaching?
Coach-funded athletes get a grace window with full app access and clear dates, so nobody loses access overnight. Self-paying athletes are unaffected.
Can I get a refund?
Coach subscriptions: contact support. App subscriptions: refunds are handled by Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com.
Data & account
Who can see my data?
You, and — only while you're actively connected — your coach. Coaches lose access to your data when the coaching relationship ends.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Settings → Delete Account. Deletion completes after a 7-day grace window (you can cancel it in that time), and removes your data including check-in photos. Details: account deletion.
Can I export my data?
Yes — the app includes a data export so you can take your logs with you.
