Sagoma on Android

For most of this year Sagoma was an Apple app, and that was a real cost rather than a preference. A trainer would sign up, go to add a client, and the client would be on a Pixel or a Galaxy. There was nothing to send them. That is not a lost feature, it is a lost client, and it happened quietly enough that it never showed up in any number we were looking at.

So, where things stand today, plainly.

Sagoma Link has been on Google Play since 2 October. It is free, it is the real app rather than a cut-down one, and a client on Android can now be enrolled by their trainer exactly as an iPhone client is.

The consumer app is built and published to Play's production track. At the time of writing its store page has not started serving yet, which is a matter of Google's propagation rather than anything left to do on our side. If you are reading this and the link does not work yet, it will.

Sagoma Pro is the one still in progress. There is a real Android module, it is signed, and it is on internal testing — not a placeholder and not a wrapper. It is also the hardest of the three, which is worth being straight about. Link and the consumer app share most of their screens with code we had already written for Android. Pro does not: the roster, the morning brief, the programme builder, the check-in builder, voice notes and standing mode are its own, and the Apple Watch app that Pro's whole pitch leans on has no equivalent on a wrist running Wear OS. We are not going to pretend a date.

The part that was never going to be a problem is the encryption. Your data is sealed on your device before it leaves, with a key derived from your password that never reaches us. That is built on open standards rather than anything Apple-specific — roughly fifteen hundred lines of it — so it ports. An Android client and an iPhone client in the same trainer's roster are protected the same way, by the same maths, and we cannot read either of them.

There is no launch offer attached to any of this. Link is free on both platforms, the consumer app costs the same on both, and if you already pay for Pro, nothing about Android will cost you more.
