Move every hour. Finish your 30-day challenge. Build the habit. RepDrop turns your phone into a personal movement coach - tracking reps toward a 30-day challenge, timing desk breaks that get you up to stretch and breathe between meetings, and logging your body measurements. 30-DAY CHALLENGES Set a goal. Log reps. Finish strong. Pick an exercise, set a rep target, then log progress throughout the day. Quick Log puts +10 / +20 / +50 on screen the moment you open the app, and difficulty is calculated automatically from your goal and pace. - 16 exercise types with form tips, plus your own custom exercise (Pro; free is Push-Ups) - Goals sized to the movement - 100 to 5,000 push-ups, or 50 to 1,500 pull-ups (Pro) - 7, 14, 21, 30, 60 or 90-day challenge durations (Pro; free is 30 days) KNOW WHERE YOU STAND A daily chart across your whole challenge with an even-pace line - tap any bar for that day's exact count. Then the answers: how far ahead or behind pace you are, how many reps a day it takes to finish, your consistency, your records and your projected finish date. ACTIVE DESK BREAKS Stop sitting. Start moving. Start a desk break whenever you need one and the break timer counts you through it. Free comes with 5 starter activities; Pro unlocks all 22, break reminders and break charts. Activities span movement, strength, stretch & mobility, mindfulness and hydration. Set your active hours and toggle weekends off, and your break schedule fits your working day - then RepDrop shows whether you're actually taking your breaks. BODY MEASUREMENTS Log your weight, body fat and measurements - waist, chest, hips, neck, upper arm, thigh and calf. A 3D body figure you can turn shows your latest values and the change since your previous entry, and every measurement gets its own chart. A weekly measure-in reminder keeps the habit, and you can export everything as CSV. Weight, body fat and waist sync with Apple Health. Pro adds trends, goals, 1-year and all-time charts, a before/after compare with replay, and waist ratios and a body-fat estimate, labelled as estimates. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Track your challenge right on your Home Screen, plus a daily dose of motivation, without opening the app. SHARE YOUR WINS Finish strong and share a clean victory card with your reps, streak and stats, as a story or a square card. SMART REMINDERS - Daily challenge nudge with your remaining reps and days left - Sunday recap of what you actually logged this week - Break reminders that respect your active hours and weekends (Pro) LIVE ACTIVITY Start a desk break and the countdown lives on your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen while you move. SOMETHING TO READ Short guides on building the habit and finishing a challenge, readable offline. WHAT'S FREE The 30-day Push-Ups challenge is free. Not a trial - free. No account, no card, no expiry. Pick your intensity (750, 1500 or 3000 reps), log your sets, and see your real numbers: total, today, remaining, pace, day streak, best day and a daily chart of the whole run. Finish it and start another. You also get the desk-break timer, challenge reminders, a weekly recap, 5 starter activities, break stats, body measurements with charts and Apple Health sync, breaks and rep sessions saved to Apple Health as workouts, Home Screen widgets, Live Activity, and win sharing. PRO For when you want more than push-ups. 7-day free trial for new subscribers, then auto-renews monthly until cancelled. Cancel anytime in Settings. - All 16 exercise types, plus one you name yourself - Any goal over 7, 14, 21, 30, 60 or 90 days - Deep analytics: time of day, set sizes, weekday patterns and pace forecasting - Your full challenge history, charted - Full break library - all 22 activities - Break reminders on your schedule, inside your active hours - Break charts: when you break, category mix, activity breakdown - Body insights: trends, goals, before/after compare and replay, ratios and estimates
