Your apps are locked. Your body is the key. Forge blocks the apps that eat your day and makes you earn every minute of screen time with real exercise. Squats in front of the camera, counted automatically on your iPhone. No equipment, no gym, no excuses. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that steal your time: social media, video, games. 2. Choose how many minutes you want. 3. Do your squats. The camera counts every rep on device. 4. Your apps unlock. When time runs out, the shield comes back. WHY IT WORKS Willpower fails because quitting is free. Forge adds a price: movement. You stop scrolling on autopilot because every minute now costs effort, and the effort makes you stronger. EARN IT LIKE A GAME Forge Ranks: climb from Spark to Titan of the Forge as your lifetime score grows. Daily streaks keep you honest. A worldwide leaderboard of doers, by country. A FORGED stamp every time you finish a set. YOU SET THE RULES Free minutes per day if you want them: strict, balanced, or generous. Everything beyond that is earned. A three stage friction gate stops rage quitting. PRO, ONCE, FOREVER Squats are free forever. Forge Lifetime adds push up mode, walking mode (100 steps = 1 minute), full statistics, and encrypted backup. One purchase, family sharing included, no subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The camera never records: pose detection runs entirely on your iPhone. No video is stored or uploaded. Ad-supported: the one-time Pro purchase removes every ad forever. No account required. Forge yourself stronger.

doReps is the camera that knows whether the rep counted. Point your phone, train, and AI counts every clean rep in real time — and catches the form mistakes you don't feel. No manual logging, no guessing. Just the reps you actually did. WHAT doReps DOES • AI rep counting — the camera reads your body and counts only real, full-range reps. Push-ups, squats, lunges, burpees, jumping jacks, pull-ups. • Live form coaching — instant cues the moment your depth, back, or tempo slips, so every rep is a good one. • Honest by design — your phone judges the rep, not you. Real reps. Real progress. BUILD THE HABIT • Daily streak — show up and keep the fire going. Streak freezes cover you on a missed day. • Stats that mean something — every workout and every clean rep, tracked over time. COMPETE • Weekly team battles — get drafted onto a team and out-rep the other side. • Leagues — climb from Bronze upward as you train. FOR THE FAMILY • Reward challenges — a parent sets a goal and a real prize; the kid trains to earn it. • See your kids' workouts and streaks in one place. START IN ONE TAP • No sign-up required — open the app and train. Create an account whenever you like; your progress is saved. No subscription. No ads. Your video is processed on your device and never uploaded. Train honest. The camera's watching — in a good way.
