Move every hour. Finish your 30-day challenge. Build the habit. RepDrop turns your phone into a personal movement coach - tracking reps toward a 30-day challenge, timing desk breaks that get you up to stretch and breathe between meetings, and logging your body measurements. 30-DAY CHALLENGES Set a goal. Log reps. Finish strong. Pick an exercise, set a rep target, then log progress throughout the day. Quick Log puts +10 / +20 / +50 on screen the moment you open the app, and difficulty is calculated automatically from your goal and pace. - 16 exercise types with form tips, plus your own custom exercise (Pro; free is Push-Ups) - Goals sized to the movement - 100 to 5,000 push-ups, or 50 to 1,500 pull-ups (Pro) - 7, 14, 21, 30, 60 or 90-day challenge durations (Pro; free is 30 days) KNOW WHERE YOU STAND A daily chart across your whole challenge with an even-pace line - tap any bar for that day's exact count. Then the answers: how far ahead or behind pace you are, how many reps a day it takes to finish, your consistency, your records and your projected finish date. ACTIVE DESK BREAKS Stop sitting. Start moving. Start a desk break whenever you need one and the break timer counts you through it. Free comes with 5 starter activities; Pro unlocks all 22, break reminders and break charts. Activities span movement, strength, stretch & mobility, mindfulness and hydration. Set your active hours and toggle weekends off, and your break schedule fits your working day - then RepDrop shows whether you're actually taking your breaks. BODY MEASUREMENTS Log your weight, body fat and measurements - waist, chest, hips, neck, upper arm, thigh and calf. A 3D body figure you can turn shows your latest values and the change since your previous entry, and every measurement gets its own chart. A weekly measure-in reminder keeps the habit, and you can export everything as CSV. Weight, body fat and waist sync with Apple Health. Pro adds trends, goals, 1-year and all-time charts, a before/after compare with replay, and waist ratios and a body-fat estimate, labelled as estimates. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Track your challenge right on your Home Screen, plus a daily dose of motivation, without opening the app. SHARE YOUR WINS Finish strong and share a clean victory card with your reps, streak and stats, as a story or a square card. SMART REMINDERS - Daily challenge nudge with your remaining reps and days left - Sunday recap of what you actually logged this week - Break reminders that respect your active hours and weekends (Pro) LIVE ACTIVITY Start a desk break and the countdown lives on your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen while you move. SOMETHING TO READ Short guides on building the habit and finishing a challenge, readable offline. WHAT'S FREE The 30-day Push-Ups challenge is free. Not a trial - free. No account, no card, no expiry. Pick your intensity (750, 1500 or 3000 reps), log your sets, and see your real numbers: total, today, remaining, pace, day streak, best day and a daily chart of the whole run. Finish it and start another. You also get the desk-break timer, challenge reminders, a weekly recap, 5 starter activities, break stats, body measurements with charts and Apple Health sync, breaks and rep sessions saved to Apple Health as workouts, Home Screen widgets, Live Activity, and win sharing.
