Stop guessing at the pump.

Your weight, your tire, today's ground — front and rear in seconds. Then it learns how you actually like it.

Tap a surface. The number moves.
the honest part

Nobody actually knows what to run.

The number on the sidewall is a legal maximum. The rider you follow runs 15 psi harder than you. So you guess — and you find out forty minutes in, on the wrong side of a washboard descent.

Baró won't claim certainty either. It starts you somewhere honest — then moves toward you.

01 · the garage

Start with the bike you're on.

Four bikes here, each with its own tires, its own colour and its own learned offset. Tap one and everything below — the number included — is about that bike.

02 · every ride

Then say where you're going.

Road, all-road, gravel, trail. Refine the surface if you care to — loose and chunky, washboard, wet — and every choice shows exactly what it did: “net effect right now, −16% against a smooth-road baseline.”

03 · about you

Your weight, and what your pump reads.

Weight is the biggest single input to the number — Baró starts from a default and tells you on the card that it is one. Tap the ⓘ beside your pump and it shows you how to find your gauge's own error, rather than assuming you know.

04 · the answer

Front and rear, with the reason.

A range instead of false precision, and one plain line for why it landed there. Want the whole derivation? It's one tap, in words, including the part where Baró is inferring rather than measuring.

05 · after the ride

Say how that felt. It listens.

Harsh, just right, squirmy — three taps. Eleven rides in, this bike sits 1 psi softer than the engineering baseline, which is exactly where its rider wants it. The math got you close; your hands finished it.

202 lb all in, 40 mm on a 25 mm rim, tubeless — gravel, loose & chunky · rolling · dry. A starting point, not a spec. Baró says so on the card.

Every bike you own

Road, gravel, trail, winter beater — each with its own tires, colour and learned offset.

Your pump is wrong. Say by how much.

A floor-pump gauge that reads even a few psi off moves your real pressure further than every refinement in this app put together. Tell Baró the offset and the true target keeps the headline, with the number to pump to beside it.

Readable at dawn

The headlight goes dark on its own overnight, so a 5 a.m. start doesn't blind you.

Fair questions

Is it accurate?

Baró is fitted to published pressure data and checked against every reference setup in it — all of them, not a flattering subset. It starts from a number you can check rather than one opinion, then moves toward the way you actually like it. See how the number is calculated.

Do I need an account?

No. No sign-up, no email, no analytics. Every bike and every rating stays on your phone, and you can export a copy whenever you like.

Road bike or mountain bike?

Both, modelled separately. Road and gravel chase the speed breakpoint; MTB chases grip, with its own allowance for what you land on.

How many rides before it learns?

Three rated rides on one kind of ground start to move the number; six and it's dialled in. Each surface learns on its own.

psi or bar? lb or kg?

One tap, top right, and every pressure and weight in the app follows it.

What does it cost?

Nothing, and no ads pay for it either. Baró stays free — buy me a coffee if you want to.

the longer answers
How this number is calculated The layer stack, the rules it is held inside, and the four places it rests on us. Gravel pressure by weight and width A real table, 32 to 50 mm, and why one tire size is worth a hundred pounds of rider. MTB pressure by rider weight 2.1 to 2.6 inch, front and rear, and why wide tires stop obeying the road rule. Tubeless or tube A tube asks for more air, not less. How much, why, and where our figure is a judgement call. Hookless rim pressure ceilings The published ETRTO limits by tire width, and why one quoted "hookless max" is not enough. Tire pressure in the wet How much to come down in the rain, and the wet surfaces where it buys you nothing. Cold weather and tire pressure What a cold morning costs a gravel tire and a road tire, and the fix that needs no arithmetic. When to top up How fast tires really lose air, why the mounting decides it, and when to bother. Tire drop explained The 15% under almost every pressure chart, what it cannot account for, and where it breaks. psi, bar and kPa Bicycle pressures converted, and why the unit is never where the error comes from.
