## What is Bare Bones Power Meter?

Two big numbers on your screen: power and heart rate. A small graph underneath showing the last few minutes. That's the whole app.

No account. No dashboard. No feed. No badges. No "kudos." It reads your Bluetooth sensors and shows you the numbers — that's it.

Why this exists
A lot of power meters used to come with a simple free app. Then the company got bought, the app got folded into a platform, and suddenly showing you the output of hardware you already own requires an account, your data, and a subscription. This app is a refusal of that. It does one thing, and it'll keep doing that one thing whether or not anyone ever buys another copy.

What it costs
$9.99. Once. Not a subscription — no auto-renewal, no premium tier, no ads nudging you to upgrade. You pay once and you own it.

If it doesn't work for your device
This should work for standard power meter formatted data (aka "Cycling Power Measurement") or smart trainer devices (aka "Fitness Machine Service").  If it doesn't work for your device, ask Apple for a refund. It's set to auto-approve. The goal was never to maximize revenue. It was to solve one specific problem. If it doesn't solve yours, no hard feelings.  Sorry you downloaded an app that doesn't solve your problem, but there's nothing lost.

Compatible with standard Bluetooth power meter and heart rate sensors.
