Install the app

BurnGauge works in any modern browser, and you can install it for an app‑like experience with offline support and a home‑screen icon.

Install from the browser (PWA)

• Desktop (Chrome/Edge): click the install icon in the address bar, or use the in‑app Install prompt.
• iOS Safari: tap Share → Add to Home Screen.
• Android Chrome: tap the menu → Install app (or accept the in‑app prompt).

Once installed, BurnGauge opens full‑screen from your home screen and keeps you signed in.

Native apps (iOS & Android)

Native builds are available through TestFlight (iOS) and Google Play (Android) during testing. The native apps add device features like wearable sync — see Connect a wearable. Your account and data are shared with the web app; just sign in with the same method.

Training offline

The phone app is the one that trains offline. Install it from TestFlight or Google Play and your sets save to the device as you tap them, uploading on their own once you're back online — which matters in basements, in gyms with no signal, and on planes.

The website does not do this. On the website your sets are saved to the server as you log them, and there is no offline queue — so anything you type while your connection is down is not saved, and it is gone when the page reloads. If you train somewhere with no signal, use the phone app.

You can confirm the phone app has caught up from Settings, which prints LAST SYNCED with a timestamp alongside a SYNC NOW button. Pressing it isn't usually necessary; it's there so you can check.

Notifications

To get workout reminders and streak nudges, allow notifications when prompted — details in Notifications & reminders.
