No more counting in your head. PushUps uses your iPhone's TrueDepth camera to automatically detect and count every rep in real time โ 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 โ 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: โข 50 Push-Ups โ 4-week beginner program, 3 days/week โข 100 Push-Ups โ 6-week intermediate program with progressive overload โข 200 Push-Ups โ 12-week elite program with built-in re-testing phases โข ARMY PRO โ 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 โ 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.

HOW IT WORKS โข Log a meal by photo, voice, text, barcode or food search. โข Review the detected ingredients and adjust portions before saving. โข See right away how many calories and how much protein are left today. โข Pick one of three suggestions that fit the rest of your day. BUILT AROUND YOUR GOAL Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle or maintain: Kandro calculates daily calorie and protein targets from the information you provide and adapts its suggestions as your day changes. Metric, US and UK units are supported. HONEST ESTIMATES Calories from a photo are always an estimate.
