FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I need an account?
No. There's no sign-up, email, or password. Rep Sheet generates a 24-word recovery phrase on first use — that phrase is your whole identity.
Can you read my data?
No. Everything is encrypted on your device before it's sent. The sync server only ever sees opaque ciphertext, so we — and anyone who runs a server — cannot read your workouts.
What happens if I lose my recovery phrase?
There is no reset. Because we hold no keys and no account, nobody can recover your data for you. If you lose every device and haven't written the phrase down, the data is gone. Write the phrase down and keep it safe.
Is it really free?
Yes. Rep Sheet is free to use. It's part of an open-source suite you can inspect or self-host.
Is it open source?
Yes — the apps, the shared encryption core, and the server are all public, in one repository. You can read exactly how the cryptography works, or run your own server.
Can I self-host the sync server?
Yes. The server is a single small binary, published as the Docker image darktrees/blind-sync with a ready-made compose file in the repository. Point the app at your own server URL and your ciphertext syncs through infrastructure you control.
Does it work offline?
Yes. It's a Progressive Web App with a local encrypted cache. It works without a connection and syncs when you're back online.
How do I use it on more than one device?
Scan a setup QR code from a device you already have (or type the 24 words) and the new device pulls your encrypted keystore — the same people appear everywhere. Every device stays live in sync, and one that's been offline automatically catches up the moment it reconnects, so they all end up showing the same thing.
How does sharing work — who can add or remove people?
Each shared space has owners and members. Whoever creates a person whose training you log is its owner; they can invite others (a QR code or invite carries just that one space's key), hand co-ownership to someone they trust, or remove a member. An owner can also step down. Ownership is checked cryptographically by the server — which still can't read anything you store.
What happens when I remove someone from a shared space?
The space's key is immediately rotated and re-shared to everyone who remains, so the person you removed can't read anything added afterwards. What they already saw while they were in the space isn't clawed back — so removal cuts off future access rather than erasing the past.
What is The Mycelium?
The Mycelium is the suite Rep Sheet belongs to — five apps built on the same account-free, end-to-end encrypted foundation, plus one app of the same name that holds all of them at once. It's named for the fungal network that links separate trees underground and lets them share: decentralised, invisible, no central authority — and the trees stay separate trees.
Can I get every app in one install instead?
Yes — that's The Mycelium (themycelium.au). One icon, one recovery phrase, every domain in one list. It isn't a replacement: the standalone apps and The Mycelium share the same keystore, so you can have both installed on the same identity at once and both work.
If I switch to The Mycelium, do I have to move my data?
No. There is no migration and nothing to export. Your identity has always held one keystore covering every app; a single-app build just filters the rest out. Install The Mycelium, restore with your recovery phrase, and everything you already had appears. Uninstall the individual apps whenever you like — or never.
Does it use kilograms and kilometres?
Yes — metres, seconds and kilograms throughout, including swims. What you type and what you read back are the same units, so nothing is converted behind your back.
Can I add an exercise that isn’t in the library?
Yes. Build a custom one with whatever name, emoji and set of recorded details you like, or copy an exercise you already set up for someone else. The library is a starting point, not a fixed list.
How does it decide what counts as one workout?
Entries within a couple of hours of each other are shown as one workout. It’s worked out when the history is displayed rather than stored, so there’s no session to start, no session to end, and nothing left half-open if you close the app mid-gym.
Can I share a log with a trainer or a partner?
Yes. Each person you track is a separate shared space — hand over one by QR code or invite and both devices sync live. Sharing one shares that person’s whole history, and nothing else you track.
Does it track heart rate or connect to a watch?
You can record an average heart rate, calories and an RPE on an entry by hand. There’s no watch or health-platform integration — everything is what you typed, which is also why nothing about your training leaves your devices.
