How parsing works
You write a line in your own words; Recore reads it into sets. This is exactly where that reading happens and what it costs you in privacy.
Your words are the record
What you typed is stored as you typed it and is never rewritten, tidied or replaced. The structured reading — the exercise, the sets, the weights — is a projection built on top of it, and it is rebuilt from scratch every time the note is read again.
That is why a wrong reading is never destructive: the sentence you wrote is still there underneath it.
Where the reading happens
The note text is sent to Recore’s own server function, which forwards it to a language-model provider — Anthropic, or Google for the accounts Recore reads with Google’s Gemini model — and gets the structure back. With it go your saved shorthands and the names of exercises you train, so a shorthand reads the way you taught it. The key that call needs exists only on that server — it is not in the app, so it cannot leak from your phone.
The text is treated as data, never as an instruction, and it is never written to a log or attached to an error report. Nothing about the note is kept on Recore’s server after the reading is returned — only a service record of which model read it, how many tokens it used and when. The provider keeps the text for its own short abuse-detection window and does not train on it; the Privacy Policy names the windows.
The numbers are not guessed
A suggested weight is computed on your device, by code, from sets you logged yourself — the same arithmetic every time, with no model involved in the decision. A model may rephrase the one-line reason in your language, from the computed numbers and up to six lines of the note they came from; it never picks the number, and the sentence is checked against the numbers before it is shown.
When it gets it wrong
Long-press the card and fix it. The correction lands three times: on this session now, on this line forever, and — if you renamed the exercise — as a shorthand of your own that is consulted before anything else, everywhere.
A line Recore cannot read is left alone as prose. There is no error, no red underline and no toast, because a log you have to argue with is not a log.
Offline
Writing never waits for any of this. A line is saved to your phone in the same instant you type it, and the reading catches up when there is a connection. The app is fully usable with no network at all.
