ROUNDS turns your iPhone into a live punch counter and round timer for shadow boxing and conditioning. On-device camera tracking counts punches and supported movements while you train. No bag, wearable, or Apple Watch required. PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN. START TRAINING. ROUNDS handles the timer, punch count, transitions, and spoken guidance so you can focus on the work. TONIGHT'S SESSION Open the app and tonight's session is already picked from your goal, experience, and schedule. One tap starts it. Swap it if you want something else. Sixteen ready-made sessions cover boxing rounds, rounds with conditioning, and quick ones, and the four-week First Rounds program takes a beginner from the stance to a 60-punch round. BUILT AROUND YOUR WEEK Tell ROUNDS your goal, experience, and how many nights you can train. You get a fight card with your rounds, training days, and a first milestone, plus optional reminders scheduled on your phone. Change your training days any time in Settings. TRAIN YOUR WAY • Start My Rounds: One tap starts your plan. No setup. • Free Spar: Boxing rounds with live punch counting, pace, round length, and rest. • Custom Session: Mix Free Spar, conditioning, Freestyle, and Rest blocks in any order with time or rep targets. Repeat for up to 24 rounds with a subscription. • Endurance: Keep punching and track total output and pace. • Repeat Workout: Start again with the exact setup from a past session. CONDITIONING Push-ups, Squats, Squat Jumps, Burpees, Jumping Jacks, Jump Rope, High Knees, Lateral Hops, and Butt Kicks are counted live by the camera. Freestyle and Rest are timed. STREAKS, TARGETS, AND MILESTONES Train on consecutive days and your streak grows. Every week has a punch target set to your level. Milestones mark your first 1,000 punches, your first 100-punch round, and more, and each one gets its moment when you earn it. APPLE HEALTH Turn on Apple Health and every finished session is saved as a workout with an estimated calorie burn, so it counts toward your rings. REPLAYS AND AUTO-SAVE Recording is optional and off by default. Save a screen replay, with or without microphone audio. Turn on Auto-save to Photos and your result card and replay save the moment you finish. ROUNDS only asks to add to Photos. It cannot see your library. PUNCH GAMES Reflex, Spar Invaders, and Pad Strike add quick target-based rounds for fun and reactions. TRACK REAL PROGRESS • Session history and weekly attendance • Round-by-round punch output and boxing pace • Lifetime punches, best round, best pace, and 12-week trends • Conditioning reps and work time • Comparisons between matching workouts • Result cards to save and share • Game Center rankings and friend challenges • Fight Night design in dark and light TRY ROUNDS Complete three Free Spar or Custom Sessions of up to three rounds before choosing a subscription. Tonight's session is always included. The practice round in onboarding doesn't count. Eligible users can start a free trial. Pricing, billing, and trial details are shown before purchase. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Pose analysis and punch detection happen on your device. No account required. ROUNDS does not collect camera footage, pose data, microphone content, or names for analytics. Apple Health data is written only when you turn it on and never leaves your phone. ACCURACY Counts are training estimates, not official scoring. Lighting, framing, angle, and speed affect accuracy. For best results, stand 6 to 8 feet back, keep your body visible, and use a simple background. Train in a clear space and stop if you feel pain or discomfort. Make every round count.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SmartPose at none against ROUNDS's 2. SmartPose also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). ROUNDS's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
