BurnCoach vs Mode Training

Real-time heart rate coaching for the most efficient fat-burning intensity: Zone 2. Your Apple Watch keeps you in the sweet spot — not too fast, not too slow — every second of your workout. Diet results come from intensity, not just time. ■ Why BurnCoach is different • Built for Zone 2 — Not just a heart rate display. BurnCoach tells you exactly how to adjust, every moment. • Voice + haptic coaching — Don't even look at your wrist. Cues drop into your music like Apple Maps navigation. • Auto phases — Warm-up, main, and cool-down transition automatically based on time and intensity. • Live glow ring — The ring color changes the instant you cross zones, glanceable on your wrist. ■ Core features • Real-time heart rate + zone detection (Rest, Warm-up, Fat Burn, Cardio, Peak, Max) • Automatic Zone-time and Fat Burn duration tracking • Post-workout report — zone distribution, average/max BPM, calories, GPS route (outdoor) • Two-way HealthKit sync — pulls in workouts from other apps and writes back yours • Live Activity / Dynamic Island — see your zone from the lock screen • Pace coaching — voice cues to slow down or speed up • Bluetooth heart rate monitors — pair a chest strap and train with iPhone only, no watch needed • Start from iPhone — remotely launch the watch workout, or start right on iPhone with your HRM ■ Why Zone 2 matters Zone 2 (60–70% of max heart rate) is where your body uses fat as the primary fuel. • Faster (Zone 3+): you burn more carbs, less fat efficiency. • Slower (Zone 1): not enough caloric demand to matter. If your goal is weight loss, time-in-Zone-2 is the most honest metric. ■ With or without a watch • Standalone Apple Watch — runs entirely on your watch; leave your iPhone at home. History syncs when reconnected. • No watch? — pair a Bluetooth heart rate monitor (chest strap) and get the same real-time zone coaching on iPhone alone. • Smart audio routing — coaching speaks through your earphones when connected, or your watch speaker when not. ■ Privacy first All workout data stays on your device. No external servers. HealthKit access is fully controlled by you. ■ Requirements • iPhone: iOS 17 or later • Apple Watch: watchOS 10 or later (optional — Series 4 and newer recommended) • Bluetooth heart rate monitor: standard heart rate profile devices (optional — for training without a watch) Make every 30 minutes count.

Mode runs on the watch you already own. The Apple Watch app runs your sessions on your wrist, with live zones, interval cues, GPS runs and heart-rate recovery measured the moment you stop. No new hardware needed. Mode is a heart-rate training app for athletes who want the numbers without the nagging. Train by what your body measured, against your own baselines. THE MORNING READING Every morning Mode reads your night — sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, and your wearable's recovery if you have one — and gives you a readiness score from 0 to 100, built against your own baselines rather than population averages. Every deduction is shown. When the data isn't there, Mode says so instead of inventing a number. LIVE HEART RATE, DONE PROPERLY Pair any Bluetooth chest strap and every session runs on live beats: zone targets, hold-zone alarms, interval cues that still sound with your phone in your pocket, and heart-rate recovery measured the moment you stop. Your zones never drift: Mode only changes them when you do. The Apple Watch app runs the same sessions on your wrist. BUILT FOR HOW YOU TRAIN • Manual start only: nothing phantom lands in your training log. Mode never guesses that you worked out; every session in it is one you started. • A full workout builder: strength, EMOM, AMRAP, circuits, intervals, distance blocks and swims, rests sized as a ratio of the work before them, and blocks that wait for your tap. • HYROX simulations, full and half, with every run, station and transition timed. • Machines, free: Assault AirBike and AssaultRunner, Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg and BikeErg, and any Bluetooth treadmill, bike or rower. Start moving and the waiting block starts with you. • Sessions that survive: if the app closes mid-workout, reopen it and carry on exactly where you stopped. • Import a workout from a whiteboard photo, a screenshot, a PDF or a spreadsheet. • Share a workout with one link. It arrives exactly as you built it. • Strength loads from your own estimated one-rep max, lighter on days your readiness is low. • Race-day pacing from your own recent runs. • Women's health, opt-in: cycle-aware baselines, so a normal luteal-phase morning isn't read as poor recovery. A COACH THAT REACTS Give the coach a goal and it writes a training block from your actual history. When life gets in the way, "Replan from here" rebuilds the remaining weeks around what you missed. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account, no ads, no tracking. Health data stays on your device, and the optional iCloud backup goes to your own private iCloud. Works with Apple Health, Apple Watch, any Bluetooth heart-rate strap, WHOOP, Oura, Polar and Garmin (through Apple Health). Available in 29 languages. MODE PRO Mode Pro, by subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase, unlocks the coach, trends, fitness tests and deeper analysis. The timer, the builder, live heart rate with zones and alarms, machine connections and the daily readiness score stay free.
