Using folders for clients, family, or shared devices

How trainers and households use folders to manage multiple people from one account.

If you design routines for other people — clients, a partner, family members — use folders to keep their contexts separate.

The pattern

One folder per person. In that folder's settings, override:

  • Fitness level — theirs, not yours

  • Health conditions — their injuries and limitations

  • In-depth details — their preferences, equipment, time constraints

  • Goals — what they're working toward

When you open the folder and generate a routine, it's designed for them. Share it via a link (see Sharing a routine) — they don't need the app.

Example: trainer managing three clients

  • Client: Sarah — Intermediate, shoulder impingement, home gym (kettlebell, rings), 45-minute sessions

  • Client: Jamie — Beginner, general fitness, bodyweight only, 20-minute sessions

  • Client: Alex — Advanced, climbing-focused, full gym, 60-minute sessions

You jump between folders, generate each person's session, and send them links. Each routine respects their profile — no mixing up what's appropriate for whom.

Example: household

  • Me — default folder

  • Partner — their age, fitness level, preferences

  • Kids (age-appropriate) — override age and intensity

Important caveat

Mighty Nimble is not a full multi-user platform today — everything still lives under your one Apple account. Your payment, subscription, and account-wide settings are shared. Folders only separate the generation context, not authentication.

If you're a professional trainer wanting full multi-user client management, contact support — we'd love to hear what you need.
