## What is Hughie?

Never lose count again — just move.

Hughie is a rep counter that uses your phone's camera to count your reps automatically. No wearables, no sensors, no tapping the screen — prop up your phone, start a set, and your reps are counted out loud while you focus on your form.

REP COUNTING FOR 15 EXERCISES
Push-ups, knee push-ups, wide push-ups, squats, sumo squats, squat jumps, split squats, side lunges, high knees, jumping jacks, knee tuck jumps, knee-to-elbows and side bends counted rep by rep. Planks and wall sits timed. Bodyweight only, no equipment needed.

HANDS-FREE CIRCUIT WORKOUTS
Programs run as circuits that flow exercise to exercise on their own. Start in live mode and put your phone down — Hughie counts your reps, encourages you, and moves you through every round. Prefer to log it yourself? Manual mode works too.

FREE FEATURES

• Movement Quality Meter — Real-time depth feedback during tracking
• Animated Form Guides — See how every movement is performed
• Your First Program Free — A personalized program to start with

BUILT ON EXERCISE SCIENCE
Circuit format, session length and rest periods follow published ACSM guidance for muscular-endurance and bodyweight circuit training. Exercises alternate muscle groups, and sessions are capped rather than padded. Sources are linked in the app.

WHO IS HUGHIE FOR?
• Home workout people who want a rep counter without a gym or gear
• Anyone motivated by a workout streak and a fitness companion
• Anyone who loses count in the middle of a set

ABOUT THE COUNTING
Hughie uses your phone's camera, so lighting and framing matter. It counts every honest rep it can — and if a set comes out wrong, adjust it in one tap before saving.

Hughie Pro is available via auto-renewing subscription: $2.49/week, $7.99/month, or $49.99/year. A 7-day free trial is included with monthly and a 14-day free trial with yearly for first-time subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in the App Store or in the app under Settings → Manage Subscription.

Your camera feed stays on your device and is never recorded or uploaded. Workout data is sent to OpenAI to build your programs and, with Pro, to power chat and post-workout reviews.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.31 — 2026-09-09

Depth tracking, rebuilt.

DEPTH THAT LEARNS YOUR RANGE
Counting now starts more generous, so real reps are even less likely to be missed — then as you keep going Hughie learns your actual depth and holds you to a higher bar. This applies to every exercise that measures depth.

SEE YOUR DEPTH IMPROVE
Depth stats have been reworked to match. When you get deeper at something you'll see it drawn: your earlier depth ghosted behind your current one, both traced from your own measurements. It compares your recent sessions against your earlier ones, so it needs around 10 sessions of an exercise before it can tell real improvement from a good day — the app tells you how many are left. Available for the seven exercises measured by joint angle.

SKIP WHAT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU
Switch off any exercises you'd rather not do, in Settings. Hughie leaves them out of the workouts he generates, the ones he suggests in chat, and your daily challenges.

WHAT HUGHIE REMEMBERS
You can now see the facts Hughie has saved about you from chat — the ones shaping his suggestions and the programs he builds. Read them, and clear anything that is no longer true.

FASTER
Server performance improvements across the board. Signing in and processing your workouts are both noticeably quicker.

ALSO IN THIS UPDATE
• Your 2 live tries on each Pro exercise now come back on the 1st of every month, instead of running out for good
• Clearer language throughout the app
• Easier-to-read exercise names on smaller phones
• A long list of UI polish and bug fixes

### 1.30 — 2026-08-30

• Full landscape support — live tracking, workouts, and programs all work in landscape
• Adaptive programs — rep targets rise as you get stronger, gated by movement quality
• Depth meter — real-time movement quality feedback with phase coloring
• Updated voice coaching — warmer, more encouraging language
• Apple Health — workouts and calories sync automatically
• Home screen widgets — see your streak at a glance
• Stability and performance improvements — bug fixes targeting crashes, memory usage, and overall reliability

### 1.21 — 2026-08-08

Updated dependencies to keep app up to date, added the ability to add a review from application after completing a few workouts, improved program creation recovery on app crash or minimization, added the ability to copy chat messages in ai-chat, and added the option in settings to delete chat history.

### 1.20 — 2026-07-27

8 new exercises — Hughie now tracks 15.

NEW TO THE CAMERA
High knees, squat jumps, split squats, side lunges, knee tuck jumps,
knee-to-elbows, side bends, and wall sits join push-ups, squats,
jumping jacks, planks and more.

STEADIER COUNTING
Weeks of tuning on real phones: quicker response, fewer missed reps,
and much better recovery when you drift out of frame mid-set.

FIX A COUNT IN ONE TAP
Tap any set on your workout summary to adjust it before saving — so a
miscount never costs you a challenge or a streak.

ALSO IN THIS UPDATE
• Animated form guides for every exercise
• Your workout is restored if the app closes mid-session
• Smoother, faster lists across the whole app

### 1.11 — 2026-07-14

Version 1.1.1 introduces several bug fixes with editing workout programs and introduces updated streak system that focuses on tracking weekly activity over daily activity, so users can focus on reaching their weekly goals and not pushing to workout everyday.
