Your deck. Your pain. One rule: finish it. Hit the Deck turns a plain deck of cards into the most unpredictable workout you'll ever do. Draw a card — the suit picks your exercise, the number picks your reps. Face cards are 10. Aces are 25. The Joker? Fifty. He laughs at you. Survive all 52 and hit the deck one last time. THE GAME • Five built-in decks, from Super Basic to The Destroyer • Build your own: your exercises, your suits, your rules • Wild Card mode: the deck picks, you suffer • Today's Deck: the same 52 cards for everyone on Earth, every day • Boss finale, curses & blessings, combo streaks, slam-to-finish THE DEALER A voice with opinions calls your cards, roasts your quit attempts, and loses his mind when the Joker shows. Your music never stops — the Dealer ducks in and out like a proper DJ. THE META-GAME • Streaks with a Streak Shield — one missed day a week, forgiven • XP ranks and a trophy case with zero participation trophies • A 30-day grid of every deck you've destroyed • Personal records, daily challenges, share cards built for bragging DUEL MODE One phone, two rivals, one shared deck. Pass and play, winner takes the crown — literally. ON YOUR WRIST Full Apple Watch app with complications. Log workouts to Apple Health (duels stay between you and your rival). Inspired by the legendary 52-card jail-cell workout. No accounts, no ads, no data leaves your phone. Completely free.

Take back your time. Move first, scroll after. Outdo pauses the apps that pull you. A short workout opens them for the minutes you choose. Start from zero, with an easier option in one tap and a streak that forgives a rest day. Over a few weeks the scroll habit shrinks and you get stronger, without willpower doing all the work. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that pull you and a daily limit, decided while you're calm. 2. Past the limit, those apps pause and the shield names your workout: "20 squats opens Instagram for 15 minutes." 3. Tap Start workout. Outdo opens straight into a short, guided set with a follow-along figure. 4. Finish, and the apps open for the minutes you chose. When those minutes are used, they pause again, even if you never reopen Outdo. NEVER A TRAP Every shield has Open anyway: three quick passes of five minutes a day, then blocking pauses until tomorrow. Outdo is a pact you make with yourself, not a warden. START FROM ZERO Can't do a push-up yet? Your sets start against a wall. Too hard today? Make it easier in one tap. On a train or in a meeting? A one-minute seated stretch still counts. A STREAK THAT FORGIVES One rest day a week is built in, so one missed day never undoes your work. Miss two and you simply start again, with your last run remembered. SEE THE TIME COME BACK Outdo estimates the time you've taken back from scrolling, shows its working, and tracks every workout, rep and weekly best. A MORNING ALARM THAT GETS YOU MOVING Set a time, pick your days and build a routine of up to five minutes: squats, push-ups, planks and more. When it rings, Outdo opens your routine, one exercise at a time. Stop is always there, and you can skip any morning. Needs iOS 26.1 or later. NUDGES WHEN THE PULL HITS Pick the moments scrolling tempts you most, and Outdo reminds you to move first. Only those reminders and a weekly recap. Never marketing. APPLE HEALTH AND APPLE WATCH Workouts are saved to Apple Health if you allow it, and Outdo has an Apple Watch app too. OUTDO PREMIUM: EVERYTHING INCLUDED You need Outdo Premium to use Outdo. Setup shows you the shield and walks you through a three-squat workout before you decide. The yearly plan then starts with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. The monthly plan has no trial. It includes unlimited apps, whole categories and websites, all three goals (push-ups, plank and wall sit), your streak, reminders and your whole history. Outdo Premium is an auto-renewing subscription: $39.99 a year with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers, or $9.99 a month. Prices may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Anyone who bought the earlier one-time Outdo Unlock keeps Premium for life. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://swiftorbit.io/privacy-policy/ PRIVACY No account needed. Your workouts stay on your devices.
