Remise

Fencing Journal — support

Remise is a journal for competitive fencers: bout notes, opponent scouting, lessons, and combinations, stored on your own device.

Common questions

Where is my data stored?

On your iPhone or iPad. If you turn on iCloud sync in Settings, a copy is also kept in your own private iCloud database, which is what lets your devices see the same journal. We have no access to it, and neither does any other user of the app.

My iPhone and iPad don't show the same journal.

Check that both devices are signed in to the same iCloud account, that iCloud Drive is on, and that iCloud sync is enabled in Remise's Settings on both. Then open Settings → Check iCloud sync in the app — it will tell you what it finds. Syncing can take a minute after a change, and both devices need a network connection.

How does importing results work?

Remise looks up your public results on fencingtracker.com using the USA Fencing ID you enter in Settings, and shows you a preview before anything is saved. Nothing is imported until you confirm. The app never uploads your journal anywhere.

An imported bout duplicates one I wrote by hand.

Remise should catch this: when an import matches a bout you already have on the same date and of the same type, it asks whether to update the existing one, keep it as-is, or add the new one separately. If a duplicate does slip through, you can delete either copy from the opponent's page.

Can I get my data out?

Yes, at any time and without an account. Settings → Export offers JSON (everything, for backup), CSV (for a spreadsheet), PDF (printable lessons and combinations), and RTF (editable in Word or Pages).

I deleted something by accident.

There's no undo. If you have an export from before the deletion, you can restore from it. Exporting to JSON occasionally is worth the ten seconds.
