Stop hunting for the right workout preset. RhythmCount watches your very first rep and learns the shape of that movement โ€” then counts every rep after it, for any exercise you can think of. Squats, curls, jumping jacks, burpees, lunges: if you can repeat it, RhythmCount can count it. HOW IT WORKS Stand where the camera can see the body part that moves, then do one clean rep to teach the app your motion. From that moment on, on-device pose AI tracks the pattern and counts automatically. A short countdown gives you time to get into position before each round, and an optional auto-start mode begins counting the instant you start moving โ€” no tapping required mid-set. WHAT YOU CAN COUNT โ€ข Strength moves โ€” squats, lunges, push-ups, curls, presses โ€ข Cardio bursts โ€” jumping jacks, high knees, mountain climbers โ€ข Anything repetitive โ€” physical therapy drills, sport-specific reps, or a movement nobody's ever named Because RhythmCount has no fixed exercise library, it works for the workout you're actually doing today, not just the ones a developer thought to program in advance. YOUR PRIVACY, GUARANTEED RhythmCount's pose tracking runs entirely on your iPhone. Camera frames are processed on-device and never leave your phone โ€” nothing is uploaded, stored, or shared with anyone, including us. You get AI-powered rep counting without ever sending your camera feed anywhere. FAIR, SIMPLE PRICING Every day you get 5 free rounds, no strings attached. Need more on a big training day? Watch a short rewarded ad for one extra round, as many times as you like. Or skip the ads for good with a small one-time purchase that removes the daily cap forever โ€” pay once, count forever. BUILT FOR REAL WORKOUTS No sign-up wall, no account, no subscription creep. Open the app, show it one rep, and start counting. RhythmCount adapts to you โ€” your form, your pace, your exercise โ€” instead of asking you to adapt to it. Download RhythmCount and let your first rep do the teaching.

About

ActiCount

Read full description

Keep your attention on the movement, not the number. ActiCount uses your camera to count repetitions of a movement you demonstrate, with spoken feedback as you go. A new three-page introduction explains movement tracking, spoken counting, and on-device processing. Demonstrate one complete repetition in front of your camera. ActiCount learns the movement's pose pattern on your device. Review the demonstration, then repeat the movement to count reps with spoken feedback. COUNT YOUR OWN MOVES Start in position, complete the movement, and return to the starting pose. Create a counting template from your own demonstration. REVIEW BEFORE YOU BEGIN Use the thumbnail timeline to adjust the start and end of your demonstration and keep one complete repetition. SEE AND HEAR YOUR COUNT Follow your live count and pose overlay, with sound cues and spoken numbers. Pause for a break, then resume the current set. SAVE A MOVE FOR NEXT TIME Name and save a learned movement on your device. Choose it from your saved actions to start again without a new demonstration. ON-DEVICE RECOGNITION Camera images are processed on your device. They aren't uploaded or saved as video. No ActiCount account is needed; subscriptions use your Apple account. CHOOSE YOUR LANGUAGE The interface supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Italian, and Indonesian. Follow your system language or choose one in settings. SUBSCRIPTION ACCESS Free to download. If you decline the subscription offer, you can explicitly start a one-time seven-day local experience when available on your device. It requires no subscription or payment confirmation, ends automatically, and does not renew. After that, starting another workout requires a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription. Eligible users can begin a seven-day free trial after confirming the subscription with Apple. The trial converts to the selected paid plan unless canceled. Prices and billing periods are displayed before purchase. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid charges. Manage or cancel in your Apple account settings; restore purchases in the app. Existing local actions and training history remain when access expires. Privacy Policy: https://acticount.getapp.page/privacy.html Terms of Service: https://acticount.getapp.page/terms.html Apple Standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ FOR BEST RESULTS Keep your device steady, use good lighting, and keep the body parts involved in your movement visible. Camera angle, occlusion, and movement range affect counting. Recognition uses body pose and isn't suited to movements that depend on finger gestures, equipment operation, or detailed object interactions. Spoken counting depends on available offline system voices; sound cues are used when a suitable voice isn't available.
