You think you did 20. Your camera disagrees. HonestRep uses your iPhone's camera to watch every push-up you do and count only the ones that were real. No wearables, no manual tapping, no giving yourself credit for a half-rep at the end of a set. Most fitness apps count every arm movement as a rep. HonestRep doesn’t. Using Apple’s Vision framework, your camera watches every rep you do and only counts the ones that are actually complete. Then it tells you exactly what to fix. Every session ends with the number that matters. You attempted 20. You got 14 honest reps. Six didn't count — and Pro tells you exactly why. HONEST COUNTING Your camera becomes your spotter. HonestRep tracks your full body in real time, detects each pushup phase (top, descending, bottom, ascending), and counts a rep only when you’ve hit proper depth and locked out at the top. No inflated numbers. No rep creep. Just the truth. REAL-TIME FORM COACHING Seven form issues caught and corrected in real time: Hip Sagging or Piking — keep your body in a straight line Insufficient Depth — go all the way down to 90° Incomplete Lockout — push all the way up Too Fast — slow down for better muscle engagement Arm Asymmetry — push evenly with both sides Head Position — keep your neck neutral Pro users also get voice form cues mid-workout so you can fix issues without breaking focus. GOALS & STREAKS Set a daily pushup goal, track your streak, and see your progress grow. HonestRep holds you accountable without being preachy — just honest numbers and a simple daily target. STATS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Your “Honest Reps” count tracks only camera-verified reps since you started. Not attempted reps. Not estimated reps. Real ones. Pro users unlock weekly charts, trend comparisons, full session history, and form breakdowns over time. It Just Works Prop your phone at your side, get into position, and the countdown starts on its own when it sees you at the bottom. No reaching for the screen mid-set. FREE vs. PRO Free: Full camera sessions with honest rep counting • Attempted vs. honest breakdown after every set • Daily goals, streaks, and lifetime totals • Voice callouts for reps and milestones Pro: one purchase, no subscription • See exactly which reps didn't count and why • Live form coaching, on screen and spoken, during your set • Month-by-month history and week-over-week trends • Full session history Try Pro free for a week. If you keep it, it's a single purchase — not a subscription, and never a renewal. No subscription. No monthly fees. No credit card nonsense. Buy once, own forever! PRIVACY FIRST All pose detection happens on your device. No video is ever uploaded, stored, or transmitted. What happens in your workout stays on your phone. Everything stays on your device. Pose detection runs entirely on-device using Apple's Vision framework. No analytics SDKs. Nothing leaves your phone, because nothing needs to.

PushupAI is a general fitness aid and does not provide professional health advice. Train within your limits and stop if you feel discomfort.
