Settings
Settings is where you manage your profile and sign-in, and set your preferences for units, timers, display, and notifications. On web, open Settings from the sidebar. On mobile, tap the Profile tab, then tap Settings.
Profile
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Your display name, shown on workouts and messages |
| Your login email address | |
| Profile Photo | Optional avatar image |
| Time Zone | Sets the timezone for your planner and notifications |
Your time zone also sets when daily emails are sent and when workout reminders are scheduled.
If you signed in with Apple and chose not to share your name, you’ll see “Signed in with Apple” as a placeholder. Enter your preferred name to replace it.
Apple Private Relay Email
If you signed in with Apple and chose Hide My Email, your email address shows as a private relay address ending in @privaterelay.appleid.com. This is a unique, random address created by Apple. Apple forwards everything sent to it to your real inbox, so you’ll receive Sequence notifications as normal.
Email Verification
A verified email address lets you recover your account and sign in with Google, Apple or Facebook using the same address. It also protects what’s connected to your account: if you reset your password through the emailed link while your email isn’t verified, Sequence treats it as an account takeover. It disconnects your linked sign-in providers and Strava, and turns off push notifications on your devices until you sign in on them again.
Where the Reminder Appears
On web, a notice floats at the bottom of the page until you verify. Click Resend email to get a new verification email, or close the notice to hide it for that browser tab. Your email row in Settings → Preferences also shows Verified or Not verified, with a Resend verification email link.
In the mobile app, the notice sits at the top of Settings, under Account. The app also shows a Verify your email reminder when you open it: first a day after it notices your email isn’t verified, then no more than once a week, up to three times. Tap Verify now to go to the notice in Settings.
Verifying Your Email
Sequence sends a verification email when you sign up, and again whenever you ask for one. It contains a Verify email button, which works for 24 hours, and a six-digit code, which works for 15 minutes. Each new email replaces the previous button and code. Check your spam folder if you can’t find it.
On web, click Verify email in the email, then click Verify email on the page that opens. You need to be signed in to Sequence in that browser. If you’re not, you’ll be asked to sign in and open the link again.
In the mobile app, go to the notice in Settings and tap I have a code, or tap Send code if your code has expired. Enter the six-digit code and tap Verify.
You can ask for a new email every five minutes. After five incorrect attempts at a code, you’ll need to send yourself a new one.
Automatic Verification
Your email is verified automatically if you:
- Created your account with Google, Apple or Facebook sign-in
- Completed a password reset using the emailed link
- Set your password through a coaching invite link
Sign-in Methods
You can sign in with an email and password, or with Google, Apple or Facebook. On web, all three providers appear on the sign-in and sign-up pages. The mobile app offers Google, and Apple on iOS. You manage sign-in methods on web.
Connected Providers
Go to Settings → Sign-in Methods to see your password status and each provider. A connected provider shows the email address it’s linked to. Any other provider shows Not connected.
If you signed in with Apple using Hide My Email, the linked account shows as “Signed in with Apple” rather than the private relay address.
Connecting a Provider
Connecting a provider gives you another way to sign in, and your existing email and password continue to work.
Go to Sign-in Methods
Go to Settings → Sign-in Methods.
Click Connect
Click Connect next to the provider you want to add. For Google, click Continue with Google.
Authorise with the provider
Sign in with your provider account in the popup window. The provider then shows as connected.
If you use Continue with Google, Continue with Apple or Continue with Facebook on the sign-in page with the same email as your existing account, Sequence links the provider automatically, but only if your email is verified. Otherwise, sign in with your password, then verify your email or connect the provider here.
Disconnecting a Provider
Click Disconnect next to any connected provider to remove it.
You must always have at least one way to sign in. Set a password before disconnecting your only connected provider.
Setting a Password
If you signed up with Google, Apple or Facebook, set a password to enable email sign-in. You can then sign in with either your email and password or any connected provider. It’s worth doing even if you normally use a provider, so you have a fallback if provider access ever breaks.
Go to Sign-in Methods
Go to Settings → Sign-in Methods.
Set password
Click Set password and enter your new password.
Confirm
Enter the password again to confirm.
Changing Your Password
Go to Sign-in Methods
Go to Settings → Sign-in Methods.
Enter current password
Click Change password, then type your current password.
Enter new password
Type your new password and confirm it.
Save
Click Change password to save.
Exercise Defaults
These settings apply when you add a new exercise or set to a workout:
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Weight unit | Kilograms (kg) or Pounds (lb) | kg |
| Distance unit | Kilometres (km) or Miles (mi) | km |
| Rest between sets | Default rest duration between sets | 2 minutes |
| Rest between exercises | Default rest duration between exercises | 3 minutes |
| Continue set timer into rest | Start rest automatically when a set timer finishes | On |
| Continue set timer through exercise | Alternate set timers and rests until the exercise is done | On |
| Timer prep stage | Start timers with a 5 second count-in | On |
Your unit choice affects how weights and distances display throughout the app.
The two timer continuation settings are linked. Turning on Continue set timer through exercise also turns on Continue set timer into rest, and turning off Continue set timer into rest also turns off Continue set timer through exercise.
Grade scales for climbing are set per logbook, not here. See Logbook for grade scale options.

| Theme | Light or dark | Light |
| Planner View | Default to week or month view | Month |
| Compact View | Reduce spacing for a denser layout | Off |

| Daily Emails | Receive daily workout reminders via email | Off |
| Daily Email Time | Set the time for daily emails | 8:00 AM |
Email reminders are sent in your account time zone, and are separate from the mobile app’s push reminders below.
Push Notifications
Push notifications and workout reminders are available in the Sequence mobile app only. There are no reminder settings on the web.
In the mobile app, go to Settings → Notifications:
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| System Permission | The OS-level permission, managed by iOS or Android | — |
| Push Notifications | Master toggle for all push notifications | On |
| Messages | Coaching conversation updates | On |
| Workout Reminders | On days you have a workout scheduled | On |
| Morning Reminder | Get an overview of your planned workouts for the day | On, 8:00 AM |
| Evening Reminder | Ideal for those rehab exercises you “keep forgetting” to do | On, 6:00 PM |
The Messages row only appears once you have at least one coaching conversation.
How Notification Settings Nest
A switch higher up disables everything beneath it:
- System Permission — Granted at the OS level. If it’s denied, nothing is delivered, whatever your Sequence settings.
- Push Notifications — The master toggle. Turning it off disables Messages and Workout Reminders.
- Workout Reminders — Turning it off disables both the Morning and Evening reminders.
Workout Reminder Times
Tap either reminder’s time to change it. Times are wall-clock times in your timezone. Reminders are sent only on days with a workout scheduled, and only for workouts that are still pending.
