PushupBoard - Push yourself. Prove it. PushupBoard turns your pushup routine into a social challenge. Film yourself, let AI count your reps automatically, and post the proof to a live feed where your friends and rivals can see exactly what you put in. AI-Powered Rep Counting No buttons to tap, no counting in your head. Place your phone in front of you, get into position, and PushupBoard's real-time pose detection starts counting the moment your arms hit the floor. Every rep is tracked accurately โ€” full reps, half reps, fast sets. Post Your Proof After your set, preview your video with a live rep counter synced frame-by-frame to your actual reps, then post it to the feed. Your followers see exactly how many pushups you did and when you did them. Social Feed Scroll through your Friends feed to see what the people you follow are putting in. Jump to the Global feed to discover athletes from around the world. Like and comment to keep the energy up. Weekly Leaderboard See who's putting in the most work. The Global leaderboard ranks everyone by weekly reps. The Friends leaderboard keeps it between your circle. Check back every week โ€” the rankings reset and anyone can climb. Groups โ€” Compete Together Create a group, share an invite link, and challenge your friends, teammates, or coworkers to a weekly pushup battle. Every group has its own feed of members' posted videos and a private leaderboard so you always know who's on top. Groups also compete against each other on the Groups leaderboard โ€” see which crew dominates the platform. Your Profile Track your all-time rep count, weekly progress, and full workout history. Manage your posted videos, set a profile picture, and write a short bio. Other users can view your public profile and follow you directly from the feed. Stay Accountable Optional daily reminders keep you and your group members on track. No silent rest days โ€” your group will know.

Your phone's front camera becomes a physio tool. NeckPlay tracks your head movements with on-device AI and turns every nod, tilt, and turn into spaceship controls. No subscription. No account. No data leaves your phone. HOW IT WORKS Sit comfortably, hold your phone at chest height, and steer your spaceship through an endless asteroid field using only your neck. Tilt left, right, up, and down to dodge incoming rocks. The longer you survive, the harder it gets - and the more spectacular the universe becomes. THE GAME - Pilot a spaceship through deep space using head movements - Waves of asteroids that grow denser and faster as your score climbs - 9 dynamic space events that keep every run fresh: Comet Streaks, Nebula Clouds, and Star Flybys for atmosphere Meteor Showers that flood the screen with debris Time Dilation that slows everything to a crawl Warp Speed that throws you into hyperspace Shockwaves that clear the field in a blinding flash Black Holes that pull rocks toward you Ion Storms that jolt your ship with electrical interference - Satisfying crunch and boom sound effects THE EXERCISE NeckPlay was designed with neck rehabilitation in mind. Regular, controlled head movement in all directions helps loosen stiff neck muscles from screen time and desk work, gently mobilise the cervical spine, and build the habit of daily movement through play. A single game session equals a complete range-of-motion neck warm-up. No gym required. PRIVACY FIRST The camera feed never leaves your device. NeckPlay uses on-device AI to detect your head position locally - nothing is recorded, stored, or uploaded. Ever. NO PAYWALLS NeckPlay is completely free with no in-app purchases, no subscription, and no ads. Just the game. Built for anyone who sits at a desk, stares at screens, or wants to sneak some physio into a coffee break. Disclaimer: This app is for informational and wellness purposes only.
