Count every push-up without losing your rhythm. Tap the screen, lower your face to the proximity sensor, or just say the numbers out loud — the counter keeps up while you keep going. Most rep counters give you one way to count and one way to train. Push Up Counter gives you three input methods and five training formats — Standard, AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata and Challenge — plus a rest timer that starts itself between sets. Nothing to set up, no account, no internet needed. WHAT YOU GET - Never lose count again: tap, proximity sensor or spoken numbers, whichever fits the set - Train the way coaches program: AMRAP, EMOM and Tabata timers built in, not bolted on - Rest handled for you: the countdown starts when a set ends, and you can skip it any time - Proof you're improving: weekly and monthly rep charts, personal record and level progress - A streak you don't want to break: daily goal, streak card and a heatmap calendar of every session - Something to chase: 14 achievements and 5 preset challenges like "100 Push-Ups in 7 Days" PERFECT FOR - Anyone doing daily push-up sets at home with zero equipment - Calisthenics and bodyweight lifters who need clean set-by-set logs - Beginners following a push-up progression who want a visible streak - Gym-goers adding AMRAP, EMOM or Tabata finishers to a session WHY NOT JUST COUNT IN YOUR HEAD? Because by rep 30 you're thinking about your form, not the number — and the set after that you have no idea whether you beat last week. Every rep here lands in a session log with the date, the mode, the sets and the duration, so your progress is a chart instead of a guess. PRIVACY Everything is stored on your device. No account, no cloud sync, no ads, no tracking. The microphone is used only while voice counting is switched on, the proximity sensor only when you enable it, and neither leaves your phone. Push Up Counter is a training and wellness tool, not a medical device. FULL ACCESS Standard mode, your last 7 sessions and today's count are free forever. Full access unlocks AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata and Challenge modes, unlimited history with the heatmap calendar, the stats dashboard, daily goals, challenges, achievements, streak details, and proximity plus voice counting. Choose a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase — pick lifetime and there is no subscription at all. Restore purchases any time from the paywall. Open the app, pick Standard, and knock out one set today — the streak starts at 1.
