Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 75 Hard Challenge?
The 75 Hard Challenge is a 75-day program that requires you to complete daily tasks including workouts, water intake, diet management, and photo check-ins. Ascend tracks your progress and helps you stay accountable throughout the challenge — or your own customized version of it.
How do I sign in?
Ascend uses Sign in with Apple — there's no username or password to create. Just tap "Sign in with Apple" and use Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
How do I connect Apple Health?
On your first launch, or from Settings on your device (Privacy & Security → Health → Ascend), grant the app permission to read your health data including steps, workouts, water intake, and sleep. Once connected, this data syncs into your daily log automatically.
How do I log a workout?
From the home screen, tap into a workout task and enter your workout type and duration. If you have Apple Health connected, workouts you've already logged there can sync in automatically.
Can I track multiple activities daily?
Absolutely. You can log workouts, water intake, meals, weight, sleep, mood, and a progress photo check-in each day. Each activity is tracked separately and contributes to your daily completion.
How do I view my progress?
Navigate to the Analytics tab to view your progress charts, trends, and completion statistics — daily logs, weekly summaries, and your overall challenge progress.
What happens if I miss a day?
If you don't complete all daily requirements, your streak resets, but your challenge continues — you can pick back up the next day and keep working toward your goal. It's about building consistency, not perfection.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your data is stored in your own private iCloud account, not on a company-run server — we don't have a database of user data to secure or lose, because it's never in our hands. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Does the app store my progress photos?
No. The progress photo task is a simple check-in confirming you took your photo today — the app never captures, uploads, or stores the image itself. It stays on your device's camera roll.
How do I earn badges?
Badges are awarded automatically as you hit milestones in your challenge. Complete your daily activities consistently to unlock achievement badges and celebrate your progress.
I used to sign in with email/password. What happened?
Ascend moved to Sign in with Apple and iCloud storage. If you had an older account, open the sign-in screen and tap "Migrating from an old account?" to bring your existing challenges, logs, and badges across — it's a one-time import.
Account & Data
To delete your account and all associated data, go to Profile → "Delete Account" in the app. This immediately and permanently removes your data from iCloud — there's no waiting period, since it happens directly on your device.
