Brave is a fast, accurate push-up counter that uses your iPhone’s TrueDepth camera to measure distance—no tapping, no wearables, no fuss. Just place your phone on the floor, screen up, near your head and start moving. You’ll see a live depth bar, haptic ticks for each rep, and clean session stats when you’re done. Why Brave * Hands-free & precise — TrueDepth measures the distance to your face to count reps. * Zero video storage — We don’t save images or face maps; only numeric distances and workout stats. * Works offline — Log sessions as a guest. Sign in anytime to sync and join leaderboards. Leaderboards & Social * Global, Following, Followers, and Me boards. * Time periods: Today, Month, Year, All-time (UTC-based rollovers). * Follow other users, search by @handle, and tap through to profiles. In-Session Experience * Live distance bar with your target “bottom” height. * Haptic tick on each rep; warning if reps are too fast. * Session stats: total reps, duration, cadence, “clean” percentage, and more. Advanced Settings * Tune target height, smoothing, re-arm window, min rep duration, and top-decay—right inside a session. Privacy & Control * No photos or face geometry are stored. * Optional account for sync & global rankings. Delete Account & Data anytime from Account → Delete Account & Data. How to Use 1. Place your iPhone screen-up on the floor, front camera facing you. 2. Position it roughly at head level, about 30–60 cm (1–2 ft) from your forehead. 3. Tap Start Session and begin your push-ups. That’s it. Requirements Requires an iPhone with TrueDepth (Face ID) for rep counting. Not intended as medical advice; consult a professional before starting new exercise.
