26 pushups. Every day. All of 2026. That's the challenge. Not complicated. Not a 90-day transformation program. Just a simple commitment: do 26 pushups a day for the year 2026. Why 26? Because it's small enough to actually do—even on the bad days. And because showing up every day matters more than crushing yourself once a week. What the app does: Tap the screen to count your pushups. That's it. No account required, no onboarding quiz, no AI coach. Just start. When you're ready for more: - Streak tracking — see how many days in a row you've shown up - Apple Health integration — your pushups sync automatically - Home screen widget — check your weekly and monthly progress at a glance - Daily history — look back at what you've built This isn't a fitness app for people who already work out. It's for people who want to build one small habit that sticks. See you in 2026. Terms of Use (EULA): https://26pushups.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://26pushups.com/privacy
