Morning Pushups Tracker is a simple push-up tracker and daily habit app designed to help you build a consistent push-up routine -- one morning at a time. Log your push-ups in seconds, protect your streak with earned skip days, and watch your chain grow as you stack wins. You can also edit past days (because life happens) and see your progress at a glance. Key Features: * Daily logging: Mark a day done and optionally record your rep count. * Streak + chain view: A clean visual chain that makes consistency feel real. * Earned skip days: Complete consecutive days to earn skip days that preserve your streak when you need a rest day. * Calendar editing: Tap into any day to correct or adjust past entries. * Stats and push-up progress: Track total pushups, longest streak, and more. * Achievements: Unlock badges as you hit milestones. * Optional reminders: Gentle notifications to keep you on track (no remote push). * iCloud backup: Your habit history syncs privately via iCloud. * Siri integration: Face down after 50 pushups? Just say "Siri, log my pushups in Morning Pushups." * Apple Watch: Log push-ups from your wrist. Morning Pushups is designed to be lightweight, motivating, and respectful — no accounts needed, no ads, no feeds, no guilt, no social pressure. Just a tiny daily commitment that compounds. If you enjoy the app, you can optionally leave a tip to support continued development. Privacy: Your data stays on your device and syncs privately via iCloud.

No more counting in your head. PushUps uses your iPhone's TrueDepth camera to automatically detect and count every rep in real time — hands-free, so you can focus entirely on your form. SMART REP COUNTING WITH AR Place your iPhone face-up on the floor between your hands. A 5-layer detection algorithm tracks your head height with millimeter precision and counts only real reps — filtering out head nods, rocking, and jitter. It even detects the bottom of a push-up when your face gets too close for the camera to see, so no rep ever goes uncounted. STRUCTURED TRAINING PROGRAMS Follow a science-backed plan designed to take you to your goal: • 50 Push-Ups — 4-week beginner program, 3 days/week • 100 Push-Ups — 6-week intermediate program with progressive overload • 200 Push-Ups — 12-week elite program with built-in re-testing phases • ARMY PRO — 6-week military-grade plan with Strength, Volume, Pyramid, Endurance, and Max Effort days, modeled after U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Forces standards Take a quick fitness test before starting — the app assigns the right difficulty column so you're always training at your edge. 7 PUSH-UP VARIATIONS Log Classic, Wide, Diamond, Decline, Incline, Archer, and Pseudo Planche sets. Mix variations across a session to build balanced, complete upper-body strength. RECOVERY INSIGHTS The app reads your Heart Rate Variability and Resting Heart Rate from Apple Health to calculate a daily recovery score. Know whether to push hard, train moderately, or rest — before you even begin. PERSONAL RECORDS & 16 ACHIEVEMENTS Automatically track PRs for Max Reps in a Set, Max Session Volume, Max Weekly Volume, and Longest Streak. Unlock achievements from your first 50-rep set all the way to a lifetime 50,000-rep milestone. COMPETE ON GAME CENTER Six global leaderboards track your max set, max session, weekly volume, and all-time total. Filter by friends or global rankings to see exactly where you stand. STATS THAT MOTIVATE Visual charts show your rep history by day, week, month, or all time. Track total sessions, lifetime reps, total training days, and cumulative workout duration at a glance. APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION Auto-import your weight, height, and biometrics from Apple Health for accurate calorie tracking. Every completed workout is written back to Health as a Functional Strength Training activity with calories burned. ICLOUD SYNC Your workouts, progress, and records sync automatically across all your devices via iCloud — no account required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PushUps at every 4 days against Simple Push's every 5 weeks. Simple Push's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
