Safety Disclaimer

Effective date: July 4, 2026 · Notice version 2026-07-16 · Applies to the Daily Coach Android app

Daily Coach is a general wellness and fitness accountability app. It is not medical care. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition, and nothing in the app — including AI coach replies and meal estimates — is medical, dietetic, or therapeutic advice.

Check with a professional first

Talk to a physician or qualified professional before starting an exercise or nutrition program if you are:

• Pregnant or postpartum
• Injured or recovering from surgery
• Managing a chronic condition (heart, metabolic, joint, or other)
• Under any medical restriction or on medication that affects exercise
• New to exercise after a long sedentary period

Train within your limits

• Choose weights and intensity you can control with good form
• Warm up before working sets and progress gradually
• Use appropriate equipment, footwear, and space
• The app's "easier / harder" options and exercise swaps exist so you can scale every session — use them

Custom plans follow your instructions

You can reshape your plan — directly or by asking the AI coach — including training only specific muscle groups, moving rest days, or choosing an aggressive split. The app applies what you ask for, even when it is less balanced than what it would build on its own. The Plan tab's weekly muscle-balance indicator shows when a week is lopsided (for example, all pushing and no pulling, or skipping legs); repeated one-sided training raises the risk of overuse injury and muscle imbalance. Rest days exist for recovery — removing too many increases injury risk. If you customize your plan, check the balance indicator and keep at least one full rest day.

Exercise demonstration images

Where they come from. Many exercises include a small demonstration image. These images are sourced from the open, public-domain free-exercise-db project (released under The Unlicense), with a portion generated to fill gaps where no public-domain match existed.

• They are a visual aid, not exact instruction. Use a demonstration image to get a general sense of a movement — the rough position, the equipment, and what it looks like. It is not a substitute for proper coaching and is not meant to depict the perfect form for your body.
• Correct form varies by person. The right range of motion, stance, tempo, and load depend on your body, mobility, experience, and any injuries. Do not assume an image shows the exact way you should perform a movement.
• If you are unsure, don't guess. If you do not understand an exercise, cannot perform it with control, or feel uncomfortable or unsafe attempting it, skip it. Use the app's "easier" option or exercise swap, look up a trusted tutorial, or ask a qualified trainer or physical therapist.
• Stop if it hurts. Sharp pain, pinching, or joint pain is a signal to stop — never push through it to match a picture.

How much exercise is safe?

This is general fitness information, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before starting or changing a routine, especially if any of the situations above apply to you.

• A common adult target. Public-health guidance (World Health Organization; U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans) points to roughly 150–300 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity, or 75–150 minutes of vigorous activity, or an equivalent mix — plus muscle-strengthening work for all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week. Any movement is better than none.
• Rest and recovery matter. Muscles get stronger during rest, not during the workout itself. A common guideline is to allow about 48 hours before training the same muscle group again, and to take at least one or two rest days a week. Daily Coach builds rest days into your weekly plan for this reason.
• Build up gradually. Most exercise injuries come from doing too much, too soon. Increase time, distance, or weight gradually. Too much repetition without recovery can cause overuse injuries such as tendinitis or stress fractures.
• Watch for overtraining. Persistent fatigue, dropping performance, a higher resting heart rate, poor sleep, mood changes, lingering soreness, or getting sick or injured more often can mean you need more rest. If easing off does not help, check with a healthcare provider.
• Warm up, cool down, and stay hydrated. A few minutes of easy movement before and after a session lowers injury risk, and you should drink fluids before, during, and after activity.

Stop and get help for chest pain or pressure, unusual shortness of breath, dizziness or fainting, an irregular or racing heartbeat, or sudden weakness. Chest pain can be a medical emergency — call 911. For pregnancy, older-adult, or return-from-injury training, follow your healthcare provider's specific guidance.

Nutrition estimates are estimates

Calorie targets and AI meal estimates are approximations for general accountability. They are not medical nutrition therapy. Do not use Daily Coach for eating-disorder treatment or recovery, medically supervised diets, allergy or food-safety decisions, or pregnancy/postpartum or chronic-disease nutrition planning without professional guidance.

AI can be wrong

The coach is an AI. It can give generic, incomplete, or incorrect suggestions. It is designed to refuse medical topics and redirect you to professionals — take that redirection seriously.

If you need more help

If you are struggling with disordered eating, body image, or thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to a qualified professional. In the United States, you can call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) any time, or contact your doctor or a recognized eating-disorder helpline. If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.
