The Meter Burn stage on Apple Watch: an orange ring of tick cells around a seven-segment countdown, mid working set

The stage

Know where you are without reading anything.

Rests and timed work burn down on a ring of tick cells around seven-segment digits. One revolution is the whole step, and a rest runs hot as it empties — so a glance tells you what a number would have had to be read.

Prescriptions stay on screen, your live heart rate and effort are metered through Apple Health, and the footer names the work coming up with its load — so the bar is loaded before the timer runs out.

The studio

Build the training. Then stop thinking about it.

Build workouts from straight sets, circuits and Intervals, then arrange them into a rotating program with an optional weekly schedule. Home shows what is next without you going to look for it.

Your training week reads as a meter — a cell per day, banked where you trained and owed where you fell behind. It states where you are, and leaves what to do about it to you.

Progression

It proposes. You decide.

When your log says an exercise is ready, Meter Burn proposes the next step — more load, or more reps at the top of the range. Every load control steps along the ladder you declared for that exercise: your increment, your floor, your ceiling.

Accept a proposal and it becomes the prescription for next time. Decline it and the app stays quiet. Cut the same rest three workouts running and it offers to shorten the prescription — an offer, not an edit.

Nothing changes unless you agree.
How progression works

Body composition

It says what the readings support, and no more.

Turn it on and Home gains a Body card: mass, fat mass and lean mass drawn as two bands on one kilogram axis, with your workouts overlaid on the same dates and sized by the energy each one burned.

It refuses to state a change the readings cannot support, and says plainly when there are too few weigh-ins, when they sit too far apart, or when the most recent one is too old. Off by default, display only, and never written back to Apple Health.

Your history, your devices, nobody else’s.

There is no account and nothing to sign up for. Your training history stays in step across iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch through your own private iCloud, and every completed workout is saved to Apple Health. Anything read back from Apple Health is only ever displayed, never stored.

No analytics. No tracking. No advertising. No third-party SDKs. Your training data never reaches Avant Media or anyone else, because there is no path by which it could.

Coach yourself, properly.

Meter Burn is built and published by Avant Media, a one-engineer software studio. It was written by a personal trainer to coach himself, which is why the training terms are used literally.
