Settings
Settings contains your backup, workout data and app preferences.
Google Drive backups
No GymNotes account is required. You can optionally connect Google Drive to keep backups in a private GymNotes area that other apps and normal Drive files cannot access.
From Settings, you can:
- Connect or reconnect Google Drive.
- Keep between 1 and 10 backups.
- Create a Google Drive backup manually.
- Enable automatic backups after workout changes.
Google periodically expires access. If a backup needs permission again, GymNotes displays a reconnect notice.
See Backups & recovery for setup, automatic backup, retention, restore and troubleshooting instructions.
Your workout data
You can create or restore a downloaded backup file, restore a Google Drive backup, or download all workout logs as a CSV spreadsheet. Keeping an occasional downloaded backup gives you a separate copy that does not depend on Google Drive access.
Preferences
You can:
- Choose from multiple themes: Light and Dark (GymNotes Classic), True Dark, Paper, Midnight or Forest.
- Set the default timer length.
- Show floating arrow buttons for moving between days.
- Add a shortcut that saves a set and moves to the next one.
- Show how many workouts you have completed since your last backup.
Troubleshooting
If something is not working, try a full app reboot first. Settings also lets you search for missing workouts or reset all local data.
Resetting local data cannot be undone. Create a downloaded or Google Drive backup first if you want to keep your workouts.
