Push-ups. Squats. Sit-ups. Compete against others in quick intense matches. RIVO watches you move and counts your reps for you. Prop your phone up, get in position, and start working out. RIVO uses your camera to track your movement and count your squats, push-ups, and sit-ups in real time. Go too shallow? It won't count. No guessing. No tapping a button after every rep. Just a rep count you can actually trust. TURN WORKOUTS INTO A COMPETITION Think you can out-rep someone? Challenge a friend or jump into a live 1v1 match. Two people. Two cameras. One clock. Your on-screen skeleton moves alongside theirs while both scores climb in real time. When the buzzer hits, the person with the most valid reps wins. No judging. No arguing. Just reps. TRAIN SOLO. COMPETE ANYTIME. Don't feel like racing? Use Solo Mode to knock out a set at your own pace with no timer and nobody watching. Then come back tomorrow and try to beat your score. RANK UP Every workout and match helps you progress. Climb the ranks from Tin all the way to Grand Champion, complete daily and weekly challenges, build your streak, and collect 50+ badges along the way. You can also compete on: Daily leaderboards Weekly leaderboards 30-day leaderboards MAKE IT YOURS Earn Coins simply by training and spend them on cosmetics. Collect: Skins Nametag borders Emotes More ways to show off during a match No subscription. No paywall on your workouts. YOUR CAMERA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE RIVO's movement tracking happens on your device. Your video never leaves your phone. Frames are processed on-device and discarded. Nothing is recorded or uploaded. And when you race someone, they don't see you. They see your stick-figure movement instead. START MOVING Whether you're trying to squeeze in a quick set, beat yesterday's score, climb the ranks, or prove you can out-rep your friends, RIVO turns bodyweight exercises into something you can actually compete at. Squats. Push-ups. Sit-ups. Counted by your camera. RIVO is a fitness game, not medical advice. It can't determine whether your form is safe for you. Consult a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise program, and stop exercising if you experience pain.
