APPLE WATCH: TAP, GRAB, HANG
Tap to arm, then grab the bar. Motion-based detection times your hang. Your iPhone can show the live timer, and your Watch can record hangs when your phone is not nearby.

AIRPODS: A NOD STARTS THE CLOCK
With compatible AirPods, tap to arm on your iPhone, nod to start, and shake your head to finish. Optional spoken timing and breathing cues help you follow your hang without watching a screen. If head gestures are unavailable, use the manual timer.

HANGOUTS: SEE WHO SHOWED UP

SEE YOUR PRACTICE ADD UP
Review saved hangs, personal records, daily goals and weekly progress.
See average and peak heart rate for supported Watch hangs when readings are available.
Save supported Watch and AirPods workouts to Apple Health, with permission. Manual iPhone hangs stay in your app history and do not create Health workouts.

YOUR PRACTICE, YOUR CHOICES
Use Hang Habit without creating an account. Your hang history is saved on your devices, with import and export available. Optional app diagnostics and exercise analytics are separate choices, both off by default. You can use workout features without sharing analytics.

WHY I BUILT HANG HABIT
I hang for them, so I can hang with them.

I'm Scott. Danny, Hank, and Josie are my kids, and they're my reason to keep making time for my health. Hanging is one small part of that. I built Hang Habit to help the practice stick. I hope it helps you make time for your own reasons, too.

Make time to hang.

### 5/5 — Accountability

*2026-10-10*

This app keeps me accountable for something that is so important

**Developer response:** That’s the whole point. Daily hangs adding up to a back that feels better is the best review I could get. Thanks for hanging with it.

### 5/5 — Finally, an app that lets me do nothing, competitively

*2026-09-19*

I now pay closer attention to hanging motionless from a bar than I do to my retirement account. The AirPods feature means I nod to start and shake my head to stop, so my neighbors have watched me silently agree and then disagree with a pull-up bar every morning for two weeks. Grip strength is up. Dignity is down. My Watch logged a peak heart rate of 142 while I was, technically, not moving. 10/10, would dangle again.

**Developer response:** Dignity is a fair trade for grip. Glad the AirPods nod-and-shake ritual is sticking — and that the neighbors get a free show. Thanks for dangling with us.

### 5/5 — How is this free?

*2026-06-16*

Wow. This app does way more than I thought. It was suggested to me through an AI and I’m so glad. It’s quite customizable and best of all, free!

**Developer response:** Thanks, Samuel. Glad it actually holds up once you start customizing it. Hope it keeps earning a spot in your routine.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-28*

This is the most addicting app I have ever used. Each day I just want to keep beating my best hang. My hands are blistering. But I love it!

**Developer response:** Love that you’re chasing PRs. Ease up if the skin is angry. Calluses are part of it, torn hands aren’t. Glad it’s sticking.

### 5/5 — It works

*2026-01-24*

Been hanging daily thanks to this app. My back hasn’t felt this good in years
