How to use Machine Export

Machine Export writes your whole training history in a structured form.

It is built for coaching software to read, not for a person to read. For a readable summary, use a Coach Report.

Create a Machine Export

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Find the Machine Export card.
  3. Tap Machine Export.
  4. Read the warning, then tap Continue.
  5. Your phone's share screen opens.

The button reads Preparing export… while it works.

The warning

MesoMetric shows this before sharing anything:

Anyone who opens the file can read all of it. Save it somewhere private, not a shared or public location.

This file holds your entire training history.

What the export contains

Every workout ever logged, as structured text.

Each session is a table of your sets, what you planned, what you logged, and the comparison. Coaching software reads those columns.

With no training logged, the export is a short note stating so.

Test entries are cleaned up

An exercise with no sets logged and "testing" in its name is dropped, as in a Coach Report.

Machine Export is not a backup

A Machine Export cannot be loaded back into MesoMetric. It is text only:

  • no photos
  • no restore path

To keep a recoverable copy of your training, use Back up my data.
