About Beer Debt
Beer Debt turns beer into miles you owe. Tap + Beer when you have one. That's a mile on your tab. Go for a run and Apple Health pays it off automatically, oldest beer first. Ignore it for a day and it starts to grow. Run more than you owe and you bank a few beers for later. Banked beers slowly expire, so drink them or lose them. HOW IT WORKS • Tap + Beer. One tap, that's it. • Run. Your running workouts come straight from Apple Health. Only runs count, so walking to the bar doesn't pay for the beer. • Watch the tab shrink. Or grow, if you skip the run. • Run every day. Two days in a row and interest on your tab pauses. Miss a day and it starts again. MAKE YOUR OWN RULES • How many miles a beer costs • How fast an unpaid beer grows, and how long you get before it starts • How many beers you can bank KEEPS YOU HONEST • You can't type in miles. Only real runs count. • Forgot one? Date a beer back. Tapped by mistake? Remove it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. Nothing leaves your phone. Beer Debt only reads your running workouts from Apple Health and never writes anything back. Drink now. Run later.
What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated October 4, 2026
Mile Markers — your whole history in one screen: where the tab has been, what the interest cost, and whether your running is keeping up. Declare Bankruptcy — wipe the tab and open clean books. No judgment. Streak freezes — five running days earn a rest day that keeps your streak alive. Also: Home leads with what the tab costs a day, paid beers show the miles it took to run them off, and run notifications now report what the run actually paid.
