No more counting in your head. PushUps uses your iPhone's TrueDepth camera to automatically detect and count every rep in real time — 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 — 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: • 50 Push-Ups — 4-week beginner program, 3 days/week • 100 Push-Ups — 6-week intermediate program with progressive overload • 200 Push-Ups — 12-week elite program with built-in re-testing phases • ARMY PRO — 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 — 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. Mix variations across a session to build balanced, complete upper-body strength. RECOVERY INSIGHTS The app reads your Heart Rate Variability and Resting Heart Rate from Apple Health to calculate a daily recovery score. Know whether to push hard, train moderately, or rest — before you even begin. PERSONAL RECORDS & 16 ACHIEVEMENTS Automatically track PRs for Max Reps in a Set, Max Session Volume, Max Weekly Volume, and Longest Streak. Unlock achievements from your first 50-rep set all the way to a lifetime 50,000-rep milestone. COMPETE ON GAME CENTER Six global leaderboards track your max set, max session, weekly volume, and all-time total. Filter by friends or global rankings to see exactly where you stand. STATS THAT MOTIVATE Visual charts show your rep history by day, week, month, or all time. Track total sessions, lifetime reps, total training days, and cumulative workout duration at a glance. APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION Auto-import your weight, height, and biometrics from Apple Health for accurate calorie tracking. Every completed workout is written back to Health as a Functional Strength Training activity with calories burned. ICLOUD SYNC Your workouts, progress, and records sync automatically across all your devices via iCloud — no account required.
