Beer Debt
Read full descriptionHide full description
Beer Debt turns beer into miles you owe. Tap + Beer when you have one. That's a mile on your tab. Go for a run and Apple Health pays it off automatically, oldest beer first. Ignore it for a day and it starts to grow. Run more than you owe and you bank a few beers for later. Banked beers slowly expire, so drink them or lose them. HOW IT WORKS • Tap + Beer. One tap, that's it. • Run. Your running workouts come straight from Apple Health. Only runs count, so walking to the bar doesn't pay for the beer. • Watch the tab shrink. Or grow, if you skip the run. • Run every day. Two days in a row and interest on your tab pauses. Miss a day and it starts again. MAKE YOUR OWN RULES • How many miles a beer costs • How fast an unpaid beer grows, and how long you get before it starts • How many beers you can bank KEEPS YOU HONEST • You can't type in miles. Only real runs count. • Forgot one? Date a beer back. Tapped by mistake? Remove it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. Nothing leaves your phone. Beer Debt only reads your running workouts from Apple Health and never writes anything back. Drink now. Run later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Beer Debt at none against BurnBar's 36. Beer Debt also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). BurnBar's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
