BarSpeed vs Active Metrics

BarSpeed turns a LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro 12+ into a full velocity-based training lab. Track every rep with depth-aware AR, get live velocity cues, and wrap each session with phase-aware insights, highlight-ready recaps, and analytics trusted by coaches. • Guided setup gets you lifting fast—pick an exercise, load, and targets, then let BarSpeed calibrate LiDAR + ARKit to your rack. • Live overlays surface concentric speed, ROM, time under tension, and adaptive framing cues so you never lose the bar. • New phase selector tailors the Lifting Profile analysis to Strength, Power, Maintain, or Recovery goals, while Trend Analysis cards explain what changed (mass, 1RM, power) and what to do next. • Highlight metrics now expand to show week/month/year deltas, updated coaching copy, and “Action” guidance grounded in your current phase. • Set Breakdown charts add a filter to isolate concentric, eccentric, or ROM trends per set, plus refined visuals for easier comparisons. • Leaderboards, notes, and intensity tags keep context across blocks, and you can still export highlight clips or snapshot cards to share progress with athletes and coaches. • Secure data sync, RevenueCat-powered subscriptions, and Firebase Auth (Apple, Google, email) ensure your history follows you everywhere. Whether you’re chasing a PR, monitoring velocity loss, or coaching remotely, BarSpeed delivers lab-grade precision with the convenience of your phone.

Am I improving? It's the question behind every run and the one your watch never quite answers. I'm an indie developer and a runner, and I built Active Metrics because I wanted that answer on my own wrist. Every feature in it exists because I wanted it mid-run. THE ANSWER Training load (CTL/ATL/TSB), VO2max trends, a race predictor, and weekly trends for resting heart rate, HRV, and efficiency come together into one honest picture: is the training working? A training status verdict says whether you're building fitness, holding steady, or digging a hole. Personal records pop up on their own the moment you earn them. SHOULD I PUSH TODAY? Glance at your readiness score and know. Recovery time after hard efforts and adaptation scores for heat, cold, hills, and endurance tell you whether today is for pushing or easing off before you have put your shoes on. YOUR DATA, EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT 24 data fields, five layouts. Go dense 4×2 for race day, big 2×2 for an easy long run. Focus pages give heart rate, pace, or power the whole screen, and every metric colors itself to the state your body is in. WORKOUTS THAT COACH YOU Build intervals with heart-rate, pace, or power targets. Drift off target and your watch nudges you back: a banner, a buzz, a spoken cue in your headphones. Laps and turns are announced without breaking stride, and your music picks right back up. SEE WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE Scrub the map and every chart together. Tap the spike in your heart rate and the map jumps to the exact spot it happened. Splits, zones, and insights you can act on. Export any workout as GPX or TCX. ROUTES, ON AND OFF THE GRID Follow a GPX route with turn-by-turn cues on your wrist, download offline trail maps before you lose signal, or ask your watch to create a loop at whatever distance you feel like today. SHARE YOUR RUN, LIVE Heading out alone? Send someone you trust a private link and they can follow your live location until you're safely back. The link dies the moment your workout ends. No account for you, no app for them. SENSORS Foot pods, power meters, speed and cadence sensors, and FTMS indoor trainers pair straight to the watch. FREE AND PRO Recording is free, forever — every sport, every data screen, your history and personal records. No account, no time limit. Pro unlocks the answers: readiness, training load, trends, insights, and the race predictor, plus route generation, turn-by-turn navigation, offline trail maps, and live sharing. Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: $7.99 per month or $49.99 per year, each with a one-month free trial. Family Sharing included. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. PRIVACY, PLAINLY No analytics, no crash reporter, no ad SDKs, no third-party code at all. No account, no login. Your workouts stay on your device and in HealthKit — nothing leaves unless you choose to share it, and a live beacon is seen only by the person you sent it to, only while you're out. Health data is never used for advertising, marketing, or data mining. Full policy: activemetrics.app/privacy. Questions or ideas? I love hearing new ideas: support@activemetrics.app REQUIREMENTS Requires Apple Watch on watchOS 26 or later, paired with an iPhone on iOS 26 or later. Route generation covers the United States; importing and navigating GPX routes works anywhere in the world. Continued use of GPS and live beacon running in the background can decrease battery life.
