UdeTancho

UdeTancho is a Japanese-inspired fitness app that automatically counts push-ups and quietly records your daily practice. Place your iPhone on the floor. The front camera reads the movement of your face in real time and counts your push-ups, so you can focus on the movement instead of tapping the screen or counting by hand. ā Waka Progress As you train, Hyakunin Isshu poems are written one character at a time. Completed poems unlock a modern translation, commentary, and historical background. Your workout record gradually becomes a poetry collection. ā Poetic Places Map Explore places connected to the poems. Follow poetic place names and the poets' historical centers while the world of Hyakunin Isshu opens up little by little. ā Records See today's reps, total reps, streaks, and history at a glance. A heatmap makes your practice visible over time. Even small sessions matter when they add up. ā Built for Sustainable Practice If you leave the measurement screen or if no count is detected for a while, measurement stops automatically. UdeTancho is designed to support a sustainable habit, not unsafe max-rep chasing. ā Key Features ⢠Automatic push-up counting ⢠Real-time detection using the front camera ⢠Hyakunin Isshu waka progress collection ⢠Modern translations, commentary, and background notes ⢠Poetic places map ⢠Daily records and heatmap ⢠Streak tracking ⢠Japanese & English support ⢠Optional in-app purchase to remove ads Make push-ups a little easier to keep doing. One rep today becomes the next character.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pacely Step at none against UdeTancho's shown. Pacely Step also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). UdeTancho's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
