Theme and tone of voice

Two settings that change how the app looks and how your coach speaks. Neither changes your training.

Where they are

You, then the gear icon for Settings, then Theme and tone of voice. You chose both during sign-up, and this is where you change your mind.

The theme and tone of voice screen with dark, light and auto options and three tone cards

Theme

Dark, Light or Auto. Auto follows your phone, so the app switches when your phone does.

Tone of voice

Three ways your coach can talk to you.

  • Tough love. Blunt, no excuses, pushes you hard, but never blames you for a session you stopped early or found hard.
  • Encouraging. Positive and supportive, celebrates wins.
  • Neutral. Straight facts, minimal commentary.

It affects the wording of your coach's notes and its replies in chat. The programming underneath is identical whichever you pick.

Changes apply immediately, on every device you use.

Common questions

Does tone change my training?
No. It changes how your coach talks to you, not what it programs. The same plan, said differently.
What does Auto do?
It follows your phone, so the app goes dark when your phone does. Choose Dark or Light to override that.
Do these settings follow me to another device?
Yes. They are saved to your account and apply immediately everywhere you are signed in.
Can I change what I picked at sign-up?
Yes, any time, from You, Settings, Theme and tone of voice.

Open the app, go to You, and tap the feedback row at the bottom. It reaches a person, not a queue. Or write to hello@smashcoach.app.
