Questions

The same answers you will find in the app, under Settings › About › FAQ.

Workouts

Why can I only have three active workouts?

The free plan has the Walk plus three active workouts. To add your own, move one to Archived — archived workouts are kept, complete, for as long as you like, and you can make them active again. Premium has no limit.

Can I change the three workouts Gyli comes with?

Yes. They’re examples to get you started: edit, rename or delete them, just like your own.

How do I add an exercise that isn’t in the list?

Search for it in the exercise picker. If it isn’t there, tap Create ‘…’ at the end of the results and it becomes one of your own exercises.

The machine is taken. What now?

Tap ? during the exercise. Do this later moves it to the end of the workout; Swap this exercise does a similar one instead. A swapped exercise counts as done.

I logged a set by mistake.

Tap ? on the exercise or rest screen and step back a set.

Can I correct a workout after I’ve finished it?

Yes. Open Workouts › History, tap the workout and change its sets.

How do I change the rest time?

Settings › Timers sets the default for new exercises. During a workout, the gear on the exercise or rest screen changes the rest for that exercise.

How do I log padel, a swim or a class?

Use Log an activity, under Walk. Start now times it live, or fill it in afterwards. It counts toward your goals, streak and badges, and doesn’t use a workout slot.

Will Gyli plan my training or change my weights?

No. You run your own training. Gyli records what you do and shows you how it went.

Streaks and badges

How does my streak work?

Your streak counts the weeks, Monday to Sunday, in which you reached your weekly workout target — one workout a week if you haven’t set one. Rest days never break it. Set the target in Settings › You › Goals.

Does missing my step goal break my streak?

No. Steps never affect your streak.

How do I earn badges?

By doing things: workouts, weeks in a row, a first personal best, your first own workout and more. Each badge is earned once. Two are for Premium; badges you’ve earned stay yours if Premium ends.

Moods

What is the Mood River?

Your moods over time: the check-ins you make on the Companion, how each exercise felt and how each workout ended. Today’s Mood Tide sums up the day; the book opens your Journal, and Older opens a calendar of every day.

Why does Gyli ask how an exercise felt?

Once per exercise, on the rest screen after its last set. It is how the Mood River can show what lifts your mood. Skipping it is fine.

During a workout

Why does my Lock Screen card stay on a finished rest?

With Health data exchange off, iOS updates the card only later. Tap Skip rest on the card and Gyli logs your set. With Health data exchange on, the card moves on as soon as the rest ends.

Can Gyli talk me through my workout?

With Premium, spoken cues guide you set by set, also with the phone locked. Free, you get the chime, vibrations and a notification when a rest ends. The chime turns your music down for a moment.

How do I get a better voice?

Download one of Apple’s natural voices in iPhone Settings › Accessibility › Read & Speak › Voices, then pick it in Settings › Feedback › Voice. You can also use your Personal Voice.

How does nodding to log a set work?

With Premium and AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation) or later, or AirPods Max, turn on Settings › Feedback › Nod to log a set. A double nod logs the set you are doing.

Is there an Apple Watch app?

Not yet. If your watch saves heart rate to Apple Health and Health data exchange is on, Gyli shows it in a workout’s summary.

AI reviews

Why don’t I see the AI reviews?

They are part of Premium and need an iPhone 15 Pro or later, Apple Intelligence turned on and its model downloaded, and iPhone and Siri set to the same supported language. Without these, Gyli shows simple fixed sentences.

Does the AI send my data anywhere?

No. The reviews are written on your iPhone by Apple’s on-device model. Nothing goes to Apple, an AI company or us.

Can I trust what the AI writes?

It describes what you logged and never gives advice. It can still get something wrong, so trust your own records.

Premium

What does Premium include?

Unlimited active workouts, spoken coaching, AI reviews of your day, month and year, workout and exercise charts, two exclusive badges and Export Studio. It is a monthly subscription; the price is on the Premium screen. There is no free trial.

How do I cancel?

Settings › Purchase › Manage Subscription, or iPhone Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Premium stays on until the end of the month you paid for. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

What happens to my workouts if Premium ends?

Nothing is deleted. You choose which three workouts stay active; the rest move to Archived, and come back if you subscribe again.

I have a new iPhone. How do I get Premium back?

Sign in with the same Apple Account and tap Settings › Purchase › Restore Purchase.

Can my family share Premium?

No, Family Sharing is not available for Gyli Premium.

Your data

Where is my data kept?

On your iPhone and, if iCloud is on, in your own iCloud. We can’t see it or restore it, so keep iCloud on or use Settings › Data › Export my data.

What does Gyli read from Apple Health?

Only what you allow: steps, sleep, heart rate and active energy. It saves your finished workouts there. It never copies your health data off your iPhone. Turn it on or off in Settings › Data › Health data exchange.

What is “Share anonymous usage data”?

An optional switch, off unless you turn it on. It tells us which features are used — never your workouts, moods, notes or Health data, and nothing that identifies you.

How do I delete everything?

Settings › Data › Delete all data. Workouts already saved to Apple Health stay in Health.

Is Gyli medical advice?

No. Gyli is a fitness and mood diary. Talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise routine, and stop if something hurts.
