Your phone counts your reps so you don't have to. You move, we count. MyRepsCount uses your phone's camera to count your reps in real time. Build a routine, pick a ready-made workout, follow a multi-day program, or let Smart Build plan a session for you. Then press start and go. Heading to the gym? Start an empty workout and log sets, reps, and weight yourself. 100% PRIVATE Everything happens on your device. We never record, store, or send your camera feed. The camera is only used to count your reps, live. COUNT REPS HANDS-FREE Tabata, AMRAP, or a classic rep or time-based routine: MyRepsCount guides you on screen and counts every rep for you. Prop your phone up, press start, and watch the counter climb. No buttons, no losing count mid-set. MAKE EXERCISE FUN WITH GAMES Your body is the controller. Every game is played with real moves, and the camera keeps score. - Rep Roulette: a new rep puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Guess the hidden number by doing that many reps. Hot or cold hints, six tries. Share your result without spoiling the answer. - Lane Runner: step, squat, and jump past obstacles across a pack of levels. Earn stars and unlock endless mode. - Muscle Memory: watch a pattern of moves, then do it from memory. Each round adds one more. - Flappy Nose: steer through the walls with your body. AT THE GYM? LOG IT YOURSELF Not every workout needs the camera. Start an empty session or use a routine, add exercises on the fly, and enter sets, reps, and weight by hand. Last time's numbers sit beside every set, so you always know what to beat. Great for barbells, machines, and anything you'd rather log. STAY FOCUSED Turn on Focus Mode and MyRepsCount locks your most distracting apps until your workout is done. You choose which apps, which days, and how to unlock. Earn your scroll.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS Track total reps, streaks, and weight lifted, with a breakdown for every exercise. See your best sets, your trend over time, and a target for your next session. Get a summary after every workout. SHARE YOUR WORKOUT Finish a workout and share it with friends, so they can take on the exact same session. EXERCISES (60+ we count for you) Pushups, Squats, Situps, Curls, Jumping Jacks, High Knees, Burpees, Lunges, Pullups, Reverse Crunches, Lateral Raises, Shoulder Presses, Bent Over Tri Extensions, Romanian Deadlifts, Single Leg Deadlifts, Bulgarian Split Squats, Chest Presses, Chest Flys, Lying Tri Extensions, Kettlebell Swings, Posture Exercises, and more.

ThoughtMirror is a private journal that notices your patterns. Write a few lines, tag how you feel, and Mirror, the on-device AI companion, pays attention over time: which people lift you, which days drag, how your mornings compare with your evenings, which feelings keep coming back. Everything runs on your iPhone. Nothing you write is uploaded, ever. PATTERNS YOU CAN CHECK Every insight comes with "Why you're seeing this": the entries it was drawn from, the date range and how confident Mirror is. Tap any entry to read it. Mark an insight helpful, not accurate, or hide it, and Mirror stops showing you that kind of observation. HONEST, NOT DIAGNOSTIC Mirror says "a possible pattern", never a label. A pattern only appears once it has repeated enough times to mean something, and the numbers are always one tap away. A COMPANION THAT GETS TO THE POINT Talk things through with Mirror in chat. Replies are two or three sentences, specific to what you actually wrote, with one question at most. No generic advice. MOOD, TIME AND HEALTH Log your mood in one tap. Mirror compares weekdays, times of day and recurring themes so the pattern surfaces, not just the data. Optionally connect Apple Health to see how sleep, steps and activity line up with how you feel. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN AND HOME SCREEN Today and Your Week widgets, Lock Screen widgets, and a quiet Live Activity in the Dynamic Island that shows your mood, your streak and the moment Mirror notices something new. ASK SIRI "Log my mood in ThoughtMirror." "What did I notice this week in ThoughtMirror." Past entries are searchable from Spotlight. YOURS TO KEEP Face ID lock, Markdown or JSON export, optional iCloud sync, and a one-tap way to delete everything. COMPLETE PRIVACY All AI processing uses Apple's on-device models. No account, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. We can't read your journal, and neither can anyone else. Premium unlocks unlimited Mirror conversations and personality insights. The journal, mood tracking, widgets, Siri and pattern discoveries are free. Start noticing. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ThoughtMirror at none against MyRepsCount's shown. ThoughtMirror also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). MyRepsCount's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MyRepsCount sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ThoughtMirror sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ThoughtMirror holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyRepsCount has 46 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
MyRepsCount ships an update every 2 weeks, ThoughtMirror every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
