Account and profile

The Profile tab (the rider icon, last in the tab bar) is home for everything about you: your profile identity, your events and rides, ride safety, app preferences like themes and units, and account actions such as signing out or deleting your account. The bell in the top corner opens your notifications.

Edit your profile

  1. Open the Profile tab.
  2. Tap Edit profile (your email shows underneath so you always know which account you're signed in as).
  3. In the editor:
    • Tap the camera button on your avatar to add or change your photo.
    • Tap your name and type — it saves when you finish.
    • Tap Bio to write a short bio. You can clear it later with the ✕ on the row.
    • Your email is shown but can't be changed here.

Each field saves on its own as you go — there's no single save button to remember.

Find your events, rides, and safety settings

The Riding section gathers everything you do in the saddle:

Change the app's theme

The Appearance row in Preferences is a two-speed control:

Each theme carries its own light or dark mode — choosing a theme also chooses its mode, so there's no separate dark-mode setting. Themes apply instantly while the picker stays open, so you can judge the change live.

Choose your units

Tap Units in Preferences. The row's subtitle shows your current picks (for example "Miles · mph · °F · 12-hour"). You can set:

Changes apply immediately everywhere in the app. Your rides keep their recorded data — units only change how it's shown.

Turn notification alerts on or off

The Notification alerts switch in Preferences controls banners and sounds while you're using the app. It doesn't stop notifications from arriving — for what Saddle notifies you about and how to manage push notifications on your device, see Notifications.

Check app permissions

Tap Permissions in Preferences. The row's subtitle tells you at a glance how many permissions are allowed. Inside, each permission shows its status (Allowed, Denied, or Not Set) and what it's used for:

Tap a row to grant a permission, or to jump to your device settings if it was previously allowed or denied. The list refreshes automatically when you come back from Settings.

The Pro plan

A few features are part of the Pro plan:

There's no in-app upgrade right now — if you're interested in Pro, email support@saddle.app. On the free plan, Pro-only options simply don't appear.

Read the privacy policy and terms

The Legal section links to the Privacy Policy ("What we collect, and what we don't") and the Terms of Service. Both open the current hosted documents.

Sign out

Scroll to the bottom of the Profile tab and tap Sign out. The app asks you to confirm — you can sign back in any time with the same account.

Delete your account

Deleting your account is permanent, but there's a 30-day grace period before anything is actually removed.

  1. On the Profile tab, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account. (You need an internet connection for this — the row is disabled offline.)
  2. The first step explains what happens:
    • Your horses, rides, photos, documents, and posts are permanently removed.
    • For each barn you own: if it has other members, ownership passes to its longest-standing member; if you're the only member, the barn is deleted with your account.
    • Your account will be permanently deleted on the date shown — 30 days out.
  3. Tap Continue, then verify it's you: enter your password, or if you signed in with Google or Apple, type DELETE.
  4. Confirm in the final dialog.

You're signed out everywhere, and your account is scheduled for deletion.

Change your mind during the 30 days

Just sign back in. You'll land on an Account scheduled for deletion screen showing the deletion date, with two choices:

After the 30-day grace period ends, deletion is permanent and can't be undone.

Can't access the app?

You can also request or cancel deletion from the Saddle website at saddleapp.redrail.io/delete-account, or email support@saddle.app and we'll process the deletion for you.
