One hundred push-ups. One unbroken set. Almost nobody can do it cold, and it is not about trying harder. It is the right sets, in the right order, for a few months. Pushape gets you there with Kito: an ape who does every rep with you and grows because you did the work. His size is your score. Start as a macaque. Earn a silverback. COUNTS YOUR REPS BY ITSELF Phone flat on the floor, your face over it. The Face ID camera measures the distance to your face 60 times a second and counts you on the way up, calibrating itself to your own depth after two slow reps. Nothing is recorded and nothing leaves your phone. A PROGRAM THAT LISTENS Three sessions a week: volume, pyramid, heavy. Every sixth session is a max test. Hit your reps and the next block leans heavier. Come up short twice and it backs off so you can recover into it. Tell it a session felt easy or brutal, and it adjusts. GROWTH IS THE SCORE Twelve stages from Macaque to Silverback, each one earned with your best set. When you outgrow a stage, Kito grows mid chest-thump, confetti falls, and the next silhouette stays a mystery. There is no XP. There are no hearts. Your ape simply gets bigger, because you did. ALSO IN THE BOX · Spoken rep counts and coaching, so you never look up mid-set · Rest countdown in the Dynamic Island · A chain instead of streak guilt: rest days are part of the plan · Lock Screen and Home Screen widget · Optional Apple Health workout logging · Eight places to train, day and dusk · After the hundred: The 120, The 150, The Double Hundred NOTHING TO SIGN INTO No account. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Your training lives on your phone and nowhere else. Automatic counting requires an iPhone with Face ID. Tap counting works on every iPhone. Built by someone tired of subscription based apps.
