Frequently asked questions

Is BurnGauge free?

Yes. Full logging, the rest timer and core progress views are included on the Free tier, with no credit card required. Pro unlocks unlimited history, the AI coach and AI program generation.

The Free tier lets you save up to 5 custom exercises and 3 programs, and keeps the last 90 days of training history. Logging workouts is unlimited on both plans.

How much does Pro cost?

Pro is $7.99 a month, or $59.99 a year, which saves 37% over paying monthly. You pick the plan at checkout.

Help: Subscription & Pro →

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Pro starts with a 14-day free trial. The trial begins at checkout, and the plan you picked only starts billing once the trial ends, so you can try the analytics and the AI Coach on your own training first. There is one trial per account.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Cancel from the Subscription page and you keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for. If you subscribed in the iPhone or Android app, manage or cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account.

Does it work on my phone?

BurnGauge is phone-first. The Android app on Google Play and the iPhone app on the App Store keep logging when you lose signal and sync when you're back. The website saves as you go, so it needs a connection.

Help: Install the app →

Can I train with no signal?

Yes, in the phone app. Your sets save on the phone as you tap them and upload by themselves once you're back online, which matters in basements and gyms with no signal. The website does not do this, so use the phone app if you train somewhere with no connection.

Does it work with my Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura or Whoop?

Yes, through your phone's health app. BurnGauge reads from Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android, so any watch or ring that syncs there works, including Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura, Whoop, Fitbit and Samsung. It reads your sleep, heart-rate variability and resting heart rate to score your recovery each day. Connecting a wearable is done in the phone app. You don't need one: the daily check-in gives you a readiness score on its own.

Does the AI see my private notes?

Never. Free-text notes are private to your account by design and are stripped from anything sent to the AI, enforced at the code level, not as a setting.

Help: AI Coach →

Is the AI Coach medical advice?

No. The AI Coach reads your own logged sets, volume, strength trend, muscle balance and recovery, and writes a plain-language report on them. It gives advice about training, not medical advice, and you accept a short health disclaimer before using any AI feature.

Help: AI Coach →

Can I bring the program I already follow?

Yes. Paste your plan as text and BurnGauge turns it into a program (Pro). You can also build one day by day, have the AI write one for you (Pro), or start from a built-in program such as a 5-day bro split, a 6-day Arnold split or a 3-day bands-and-bodyweight home plan.

Help: Programs — build, activate, schedule →

Can I export or delete my data?

Yes to both. Settings lets you download everything BurnGauge holds about you as one file, or a short workout summary as a spreadsheet. Deleting your account removes your data right away, including your progress photos. Encrypted backup copies are deleted automatically within 90 days.

Help: Export your data →

Can I change how it looks?

Eleven built-in themes across three structures (Forge, Stadium and Chart), each with its own palette and typeface, light and dark. Included on the Free tier. Switch any time.
