    Just wants to pick a session and ride?

  • ✓

    Treats indoor cycling as training, not a game?

    Wants 45 focused minutes, not a 2-hour experience?

Why I built this.

I was paying $18/mo for Zwift and every single session I'd start a workout, minimize the world, and open Netflix. I was paying for a game I never played. So I built MINI WATT — the training bar I actually wanted.
