Use Coachtor on a computer

Most of Coachtor works at app.coachtor.com too, so you can work at a desk with a big screen and a keyboard. A few things need the phone app.

1. Go to app.coachtor.com in any browser.
2. Type your email and tap Email me my sign-in code.
3. Type the 6 numbers from the email.
4. Coaches and owners get a menu down the left side: Today, Clients, Inbox, Library, Exercises and the rest. Clients see their plan and history and can log workouts.

What stays on the phone

Recording a consult needs your phone. Start it there, and the write-up shows on the computer when it is ready. Apple Health, Health Connect, the Apple Watch and heart-rate straps also need the phone app. A client doing their consult on a computer types it; talking it through needs the phone app.

Same account, both places

What you save on the computer is on your phone the next time you open the app, and the other way round. A few things stay on the device you set them on, like a message you typed but did not send.

A plan you are writing for a client is saved privately to your account as you go, on the phone and on the computer. Start it on one and finish it on the other: the line under the plan says Saved privately and that your client has not got it. Only you can see it until you tap Send. On the computer, Save privately saves it at once.

If the plan changed on another device since you opened it, Coachtor asks before saving over it, and keeps the other version so you can bring it back.

Programs you bring over from another app stay on the device you read them on until you save them to your Library. Your Library is on every device.
