BarBase vs XTA

BarBase is the ultimate companion for calisthenics athletes and outdoor fitness enthusiasts. Discover new workout spots, save your favorite parks, track your progress, and stay motivated with custom reminders — all in one place.

The fitness industry sells programs. We built a logger. XTA is the cleanest calisthenics logger on the App Store. No programs. No templates. No hype. Just a clean place to log your sets, and, if you want it, a smart witness that actually understands your training. Think of XTA as a logbook, sharpened. No influencer videos. No instructional clutter. No "pro tips" on every screen. And when you do want to study a movement, Motion shows it in rotatable 3D: the lines of pull, the joint loads, no talking heads. Free forever. No ads. No limits. No noise. XTA: FREE FOREVER • Create any exercise and workout • Log workouts: reps, sets, tempo, rest • Supersets, unilateral exercises, time-under-tension • Built-in execution and rest timer • Full history, progression trends, workout search • Motion: movement how-tos in rotatable 3D, muscles and joint loads made visible • Progression paths open from day one: see where the grind leads • Native Apple Watch app: your wrist becomes your logbook • Siri and Shortcuts: start and log workouts by voice, from Spotlight or the Shortcuts app • HealthKit integration: your training lives where it should Clean, focused, respectful of your time. That's it. That's the free tier. XTA APEX: THE SMART WITNESS ($9.99/month) Apex is what separates XTA from every other logger. Not a chatbot bolted on. A smart witness: AI that knows your work, every rep, every workout, every plateau, and tells you the truth about it. ▸ KRAFT: Never wonder what to train next. Workouts generated from your history, your level, your goals. No templates. ▸ FEEDBACK: After every workout, insights you couldn't see yourself. What worked. Where you drifted. What to adjust when the plan meets real life. ▸ CHRONICLE: Every Sunday, your week written back to you. The PRs. The gaps. The arc you're on. A weekly letter from a witness that remembers every rep. ▸ CONNECT YOUR AI: XTA speaks MCP, the open standard AI assistants use. Plug your log into Claude, ChatGPT, or anything else that speaks it. Your AI reads your training and writes workouts straight into the app, each one badged with its author. No hype. No promise of a planche in six weeks; nobody honest can make that promise. Just your training, seen clearly. Month 1, it's good. Month 6, it knows you. Month 12, it's irreplaceable. WHO THIS IS FOR XTA is for people who do the work themselves. Who train when no one's watching. Who program their own training. Who don't need an influencer to tell them what to do. It's not for people looking for a 12-week program, gamified badges, or "great job!" every time they log in. We respect you too much for that. BUILT BY ATHLETES AND ENGINEERS We've been training calisthenics for years and engineering solutions at scale for over a decade. XTA isn't a fitness app with AI bolted on. It's a product built by people who understand both the data and the grind. We use XTA every morning. Every feature exists because we needed it and we believe you need it too.
