Ever lose count at rep seventeen? Or cheat yourself out of the last few because nobody's counting? PushCam turns your iPhone's front camera into a hands-free pushup counter. Lay the phone flat on the floor under your chest, and as you lower and push back up, PushCam sees each rep and counts it — out loud, so you never have to look at the screen. HOW IT WORKS • Place your phone flat on the floor, screen up, under your chest • After a short countdown, hold your up position for a second — PushCam calibrates to you • Do your pushups. Every rep is counted with a voice, a haptic tap, and a big on-screen number • All detection happens on your phone. No photos or video are ever stored or sent anywhere TRAIN, DON'T COUNT • Breathing coach: INHALE as you lower, EXHALE as you push — right on screen, synced to your reps • Spoken rep counts you can toggle off any time • A clear warning if you drift out of the camera's view • Daily goal with a progress bar, plus a streak that keeps you honest SETS MODE (PRO) • Structured workouts: pick your sets, reps per set, and rest time • PushCam pauses for a rest countdown between sets and finishes the workout after the last one • Skip the rest early when you're feeling strong YOUR PROGRESS, KEPT • Home-screen widget shows today's count vs. goal and your current streak • Pro adds reminders — up to six a day, at the times you choose • Sync workouts to Apple Health as strength training • Pro keeps every workout forever, with stat tiles and a 30-day progress chart to watch yourself get stronger PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking • The camera feed is processed live on your device and never recorded FREE TO TRAIN, PRO IF YOU LOVE IT • Free forever: camera counting, breathing coach, spoken reps, daily goal, streak, widget, and Apple Health sync • PushCam Pro is a single one-time purchase (no subscription, ever): full workout history, progress graphs, sets mode, and daily reminders Stop counting.
