FAQ

Is my data private?

Yes. Your logs, measurements and conversations belong to your account and are used to personalise your coaching — your data is never sold. Heracles does use privacy-respecting product analytics, processed in the EU, to understand how the app is used — which screens and features get used — so we can keep improving it; that covers your usage of the app, not the content of your meals, chats or logs. If you join a Squad, only your leaderboard stats (streak, weekly workouts, readiness) are visible to your squadmates, and joining is entirely optional. Wearable connections (Google Fit, Apple Health) are opt-in and can be disconnected in Settings at any time.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives you the full daily flow — readiness check-ins, one-tap protocols, meal logging and the voice debrief — with 20 coach messages and one forecast per day.

Pro is R149 per month and unlocks unlimited coach conversations, unlimited 7-day forecasts, adaptive weekly calorie calibration, wearable sync, PR analytics, squads and shareable protocol cards. Billing is handled securely by Paystack and you can cancel any time from Settings.

What does the AI actually do?

Your coach plans training and nutrition from what you tell it: your readiness check-ins, logged meals and workouts, goals and equipment. When you log by photo or voice, it always shows you what it understood before anything is saved — you stay in control of your data and your plan.

What does the AI not do?

It doesn't diagnose conditions, treat injuries or replace professional care. If something hurts, tell your coach and it will program around it — but see a professional for anything persistent.

Not medical advice. Heracles Health is a training and nutrition companion, not a medical service. Always consult a qualified health professional before starting a new training or nutrition programme, especially if you have a medical condition or injury.

What if I miss a day?

Streaks are humane. One missed day burns a streak freeze (you hold three) instead of resetting; only two or more missed days reset your streak.
