About

Daily Strong

Daily Strong is a bodyweight training app that uses your phone's camera for pose detection. Stand your phone up, step into the frame, and start training. The app analyzes your movement in real time and counts completed reps automatically, so you don't need to tap the screen, wear a smartwatch, or create an account. This is not simply a workout log where you tally reps yourself. It helps you determine whether each rep is actually completed during training. When your depth falls short, your tempo becomes unstable, or your form starts breaking down, Daily Strong provides real-time cues to help you refocus. Let the camera be your rep counter Most fitness apps ask you to confirm reps manually, log them yourself, or rely on a wearable device. Daily Strong uses on-device pose detection to judge each rep directly from your movement. Suitable for training at home, in dorm rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, or any space where your phone can capture your full body stably. All you need is an iPhone and a corner you can move in. Key features • Camera-based pose detection that automatically counts your reps • Per-exercise completion analysis • Real-time movement cues to help you maintain training quality • Supports upper body, core, lower body, and full-body bodyweight training • Independent personal-best records for every exercise • Streak tracking with 7, 14, 30, 60, and 100-day milestones • Custom circuit training with rest timers and round controls • Voice prompts including rep counts, milestone moments, and final-rep reminders • Daily training reminders, configurable by weekday • No account required, no social connections, no manual tap-per-rep A privacy-first way to train Daily Strong's pose detection runs on your device. Camera frames are used for real-time movement analysis. You don't need to create an account, and training never has to become a social activity. You can focus on the workout without filling in an email, building a profile, or joining a leaderboard before you start. Who Daily Strong is for • People who want to do bodyweight training at home • People who don't want to count reps manually • People whose form tends to break down in the final reps • People who want to build a consistent training habit • People who want a simple way to track personal bests • People who don't want to wear a watch, register an account, or connect extra devices Daily Strong Pro Daily Strong Pro unlocks the full training experience, including the complete exercise library, custom circuit training, personal-best records, the streak system, and voice prompts. Choose from the following auto-renewing subscription options: • Weekly Pro: renews every 7 days • Monthly Pro: renews every month • Annual Pro: renews every year The actual price is displayed by the App Store in your local currency before purchase. Once confirmed, payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID subscription settings. Before you train Daily Strong is a fitness and training-support app, not a medical app. Please adjust intensity based on your own physical condition. If you experience pain, dizziness, or discomfort during training, stop immediately. Before starting a new exercise program — especially if you are pregnant, recovering from surgery, or have a pre-existing medical condition — we recommend consulting a qualified medical professional first.
