Your workout. Your program. Your next rep. LoopCam turns your iPhone's front camera into a hands-free rep counter. Build your own routine in Custom Sets, see your live count, and move through each exercise at your own pace. BUILD YOUR OWN PROGRAM Choose the structure that fits your routine. Organize a program by exercise, with independent sets for each exercise, or by set, with an exercise list inside each set. Set rep targets, add personal notes, and save both kinds of routine in the same library. KEEP YOUR ROUTINES READY Save different programs for different workouts. Choose a saved program, rename it, or duplicate it to make an independent variation. Unfinished edits are kept as a draft so you can return to them later. Your saved programs and drafts stay on this iPhone. FOCUS ON THE REP IN FRONT OF YOU During an exercise, a large live count shows your progress toward the target. Your exercise name and notes stay in view. When you reach the target, counting stops for that exercise. Rest as long as you need, then start the next one when you are ready. SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND WHAT IS NEXT Between exercises, a progress grid shows completed work with checkmarks and the exercises still ahead. Follow your current program without keeping the whole routine in your head. MOVE HANDS-FREE Show an open palm to start or resume. Pause with the supported gesture controls or the on-screen button. Spoken counts and exercise prompts help you follow your workout while keeping your attention on the movement. TRAIN FREELY, TOO Swipe between Custom Sets and Free Mode. Use Free Mode when you want to count without following a saved program. MAKE IT YOURS Add palm light trails, emoji face covers and rep-reactive visual effects. Show or hide the body and hand guides independently of counting. Record a workout when you choose, save it to Photos, or share the local recording yourself. ON-DEVICE BY DESIGN Pose analysis runs on your iPhone. LoopCam does not upload your camera feed or recordings to a server. No account is required. One purchase, no subscription. For best results, secure your iPhone, keep one person clearly in view, and use good lighting. Counting depends on the movement, framing and camera visibility. Custom exercise names and notes organize your routine; they do not create new trained movement detectors or automatic coaching. LoopCam is not a medical device or certified coach and does not guarantee form quality or injury prevention.
