FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

What's shipped, what's planned, what's future vision, and the boundaries between them.

Availability

Is FitBound available to download?

Yes — FitBound is live on the App Store and Google Play now. No waitlist, no invite needed.

What platforms will FitBound support?

The mobile app is built with React Native for iOS and Android. It's live now on both the App Store and Google Play.

Accounts

Do I need an account?

Yes. FitBound requires an account to save progress, and the service is intended for users 18 and older. See our Terms of Service for the full eligibility language.

Workouts and verification

How does FitBound verify a workout?

Submitted sessions move through FitBound's current server-side validation rules before they count toward rewards. This is an evolving integrity system, not a claim that every rep is independently observed.

What happens if I log a workout offline?

It's queued locally and syncs — and is verified — once you're back online. Pending sessions are visibly labeled as pending in the app.

Rewards and currencies

What are Forge Coins and Bound Gems?

Forge Coins are the earned in-game currency — training earns them, and they pay for crafting and ordinary shop purchases. Bound Gems are the premium currency: purchasable in bundles ($0.99–$99.99) in the app, and also earnable in-game through guild gym control. Bound Gems never buy permanent competitive power and can never be traded between players.

Can training too much give me unlimited rewards?

No. Rewardable effort is capped server-side so the system doesn't push unsafe training volume in pursuit of faster progress.

Nutrition and AI

Can I scan a barcode or take a photo of my food?

Yes. The current build supports barcode scanning with packaged-food lookup, nutrition-label photo scanning, and AI photo recognition of a plated meal. AI meal and label scans are a Premium feature, with 10 free scans included on every account. Scan results are estimates — every AI-estimated value is editable in one tap, and manual entry always works.

Are nutrition numbers medical advice?

No. Calorie and macro estimates are planning tools, not clinical guidance. They don't replace advice from a doctor or registered dietitian.

Body diagram

Is the muscle recovery map a medical tool?

No. It's a training-context visualization built from a simplified, non-anatomical body model. It doesn't diagnose injury or confirm you're medically safe to train.

Social and game systems

Can I add friends, join a guild, or trade items?

Yes to all three. Friend requests, username discovery, blocking, and privacy controls are live, you can create or join a guild with real membership and roles, and you can trade gear and materials with friends — gated by a minimum friendship duration and a shared-gym rule, with both sides confirming. Seasonal leaderboards rank you against friends, gym members, and guild members, and guilds compete for daily control of real-world gyms, scored on member activity and settled automatically each day.

Is there an MMO or VR mode?

No — that's long-term future vision only, not a current or scheduled product. Read the honest version on the Future World page.

Price and privacy

How much will FitBound cost?

Tracking is free: manual workouts, manual food logging, and the entire game layer cost nothing, and every account also includes 10 free AI-programmed workouts and 10 free photo meal scans. FitBound Premium — unlimited AI workouts and scans plus advanced insights — is $9.99/month or $49.99/year, each with a 7-day free trial. Bound Gem bundles range from $0.99 to $99.99 and never buy permanent competitive power.
