BarkBell
Coming soon
Log a set in seconds, keep your streak, climb the ranks and earn bones. Milo, a fluffy white pup, trains when you train.
A friendly, game-like gym buddy, not a stern spreadsheet. For first workouts and regular lifters alike.
Tap weight and reps on the built-in keypad, then tick. Your last numbers are already filled in and the next set is lit up. The rest timer starts the moment you log.
Built around your goal, days per week, gear, time and experience. Short on time? Ask for a 15-minute session.
Your own character, front and back, with every muscle shaded by how rested it is, so you know what to train next.
Nine strength ranks, Rookie to Olympian, from your estimated one-rep max against your bodyweight. Then a weekly league from Bronze to Legend.
A training streak that survives the rest days you plan. Daily, weekly and monthly quests pay out in chests of bones.
Build your character, then pick matching outfits for you and Milo. Decorate his room, try things on, and shop with bones you earned.
Milo reads your workouts and answers like he knows you. Ask him anything about training, food or recovery. He can remember what you tell him, like an injury or the days you train, and you can read, edit or delete every note. An optional AI coach, off until you agree, writes the answers. The offline coach always works with no internet.
No scanning and no database. You type the calories you already know, and protein, carbs and fat if you like. Set a daily target (Milo suggests a starting point, never a crash diet), then see what is left today and your last 7 days. Milo uses it to keep you accountable, kindly.
Streak and week widgets with Milo in a different mood through the day, Lock Screen versions, and a button that opens today’s workout. Your live workout shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
Everything you need to train is free. Pro adds the extras. Every price is in Canadian dollars, and the App Store shows your local price.
No account needed to start.
7-day free trial on both plans. Cancel any time in your App Store settings. A subscription renews automatically until you cancel. The App Store shows your local price.

From the home screen to a finished workout, the recovery map, the wardrobe and a coach lesson. This is the real app.
A fluffy white pup who waves, flexes, naps and cheers you on, and looks a little worried when your streak is at risk.

Only if you turn it on. Your workouts, food log and notes live on your phone. If you agree to the AI coach, your question and a short text summary of your training (and food totals) are sent to our server and to Claude (Anthropic) to write the answer. You can turn it off any time and the offline coach keeps working. Read the privacy policy for details.
Yes. Logging, plans and lessons work without a connection, so a basement gym is fine. The offline coach works too.
