Deleting your data

Last updated: September 12, 2026

Pawgress has no server and no account system of its own. There is nothing to email, no form to fill in, and no request to wait on — everything the app has ever stored is either on your phone or in your own Google Drive, and you can delete all of it yourself in a few minutes.

The short version

  1. Delete the Pawgress spreadsheet from your Google Drive, if you ever signed in.
  2. Remove Pawgress's access to your Google account.
  3. Uninstall the app.

That's everything. There is no fourth step, because there is nowhere else for your data to be.

1. Delete the spreadsheet (only if you signed in)

If you never connected a Google account, skip this — no spreadsheet was ever created, and nothing of yours has left your phone.

If you did sign in, Pawgress created a spreadsheet called Pawgress in your own Google Drive and mirrored your lifts into it. That file belongs to you, not to the app. The quickest route to it is the app itself: Settings → Open sheet. Otherwise, search your Drive for "Pawgress".

Delete it the way you'd delete any Drive file, then empty your Drive trash to remove it for good. Google keeps deleted files in the trash for 30 days before removing them automatically.

Do this first, and do it deliberately. Uninstalling the app does not delete the spreadsheet — the app has no way to reach into your Drive once it's gone, and a file you own shouldn't disappear because you removed an app. If you uninstall first, the spreadsheet simply stays in your Drive until you delete it yourself.

2. Remove Pawgress's access to your Google account

Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions, find Pawgress, and remove its access. This revokes the permission you granted when you signed in, so the app can no longer create or update anything in your Drive.

Because Pawgress only ever asked for the drive.file permission — access limited to files the app itself created — this was never access to your Drive at large. Revoking it is quick, and worth doing regardless of whether you keep the app.

3. Uninstall the app

Your workout log, your machine setup, your pawprints, coaches and outfits all live in a single file inside the app's own storage. Uninstalling removes that storage along with the app, on both platforms.

If more than one Google account has used Pawgress on the same phone, each has its own separate profile and history. Uninstalling removes all of them at once.

What the in-app options do and don't do

Settings has a few options that sound like deletion but are narrower on purpose. None of them is a substitute for the three steps above:

Option What it actually removes
Reset today Today's entries only. Your history is untouched.
Full reset Your whole local workout log. It deliberately keeps your machine setup, pawprints, coaches and outfits, and it does not touch the spreadsheet — so your history may still be in Drive afterwards.
Stop syncing Nothing. It disconnects the account and forgets which spreadsheet was in use. The spreadsheet stays in your Drive and the app's access stays granted until you revoke it at step 2.

Nothing is collected centrally

There is no Pawgress server, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising SDK and no third-party service receiving your data. The developer has no copy of your workouts and no way to obtain one. If you signed in, your data went to your Google account and nowhere else; if you didn't, it never left your phone at all.

This also means deletion is genuinely final. Once the spreadsheet is gone from your Drive trash and the app is uninstalled, there is no backup anywhere for anyone to restore from — not for you, and not for the developer. If you want to keep your history, export it before you start: on Android the spreadsheet is already a usable copy, and on iPhone you can copy pawgress.json out of the Files app. See the user manual for both.
