Your reps. Your goals. Your progress. Every single day. RepTracker makes daily exercise simple and satisfying. Set a rep goal, tap to log your reps throughout the day, and watch your consistency build into something amazing. START WITH PUSHUPS (OR ANYTHING YOU WANT) Pushups are loaded and ready to go from the moment you open the app. Answer a few quick questions, and RepTracker sets a starting goal that fits where you are right now. Not a pushup person? Add squats, sit-ups, pull-ups, or any exercise you want to track. GOALS THAT GROW WITH YOU RepTracker automatically increases your daily goal over time. The default is +5 reps every 30 days, but you control the pace for each exercise. Start at 10 pushups a day and before you know it, you are crushing 50. That is the power of showing up every day. TRACK WEIGHT ALONGSIDE REPS Enable weight tracking on any exercise to log how much you lift. Weight goals increase automatically just like rep goals. Choose between kg and lbs -- RepTracker adapts to you. REST DAYS BUILT IN Configure which days of the week you train for each exercise. Rest days dim on your calendar, streaks skip them without breaking, and your goals increase based on active training days only. Take your rest days guilt-free. A CALENDAR THAT TELLS YOUR STORY Every day gets a cell on a beautiful monthly calendar card. Green means you hit your goal. Partial progress shows up too. One glance and you can see exactly how consistent you have been. Tap today to log your reps -- it is that fast. STREAKS KEEP YOU FIRED UP Hit your goal multiple days in a row and your streak counter climbs. There is something incredibly motivating about not wanting to break a streak. Two days becomes five. Five becomes twenty. Twenty becomes a lifestyle. CELEBRATIONS AT EVERY MILESTONE RepTracker celebrates with you when your goal increases and at every 60-day milestone. Small wins add up -- let the app remind you how far you have come. WIDGETS FOR ZERO-FRICTION LOGGING Add RepTracker to your home screen or lock screen and log reps without even opening the app. See your progress at a glance, tap to complete -- done in seconds. SYNCS ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES iCloud sync means your progress follows you everywhere. Log reps on your iPhone at the gym, check your streak on your iPad at home. Everything stays in sync automatically. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO NONSENSE. RepTracker works the moment you download it. No sign-up screens, no ads. Your data stays on your device (and in your iCloud if you want). Track up to 3 exercises free, or unlock unlimited exercises for just $1/month. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP Whether you are starting your first pushup or grinding out your hundredth rep of the day, RepTracker is your daily companion for building real, lasting exercise habits. Small reps add up. Consistency compounds. Let's go.
