Every session seeds a new pattern: twelve thousand tiny circles traced along a curve, stacking up into something worth staring at between rounds. Scroll back up — the background of this page is being drawn by the same algorithm, live. Reload for a different one.
Barn Burner layers its tones on top of whatever's playing — Spotify, Apple Music, a podcast if that's your thing. Your music never pauses and never ducks. Three countdown beeps, a GO tone, a lower tone when the round flips to rest, and a little three-note finish when you survive. On iPhone, Apple Music controls sit right on the workout screen.
Not the headline features — the ones that stop getting in your way once the app is part of your routine.
Every mode remembers the numbers you last used, so your Tabata is still your Tabata next week. A Repeat Last card sits at the top of the home screen to fire off the same session again.
Set the start delay to anything from instant to thirty seconds — long enough to get across the garage and onto the bar, or off entirely if you'd rather just go.
Three beeps before each work-to-rest flip, and into every EMOM and Death By minute. You never have to look up to know what's coming.
Stopwatch, Death By, and For Time end when you say so. Hit FINISH and your time is recorded rather than thrown away — because in those workouts the time is the whole point.
Minute seven means seven reps. The round pill spells out the target for the minute you're in, so you're not counting upward in your head with a barbell in your hands.
Finish on iPhone and Barn Burner hands you a workout card — your time, the session's own artwork — ready for wherever you post your training.
Straight off an Apple TV. Four workouts, four different backgrounds — every session draws its own.

Barn Burner collects nothing. Not workout data, not analytics, not your name.
That's the whole policy.
