Countless counts push-ups using the motion sensor in your AirPods. No camera, no phone on the floor, no tapping between sets. Put the earbuds in, get down, and the count is there when you get up. WHY AIRPODS Your head moves with every rep. AirPods Pro, AirPods 3 and later, AirPods Max, Beats Fit Pro and Powerbeats Pro 2 all have a motion sensor that Countless reads in real time. Any Apple or Beats earbuds with head-tracked Spatial Audio will work. AirPods 1 and 2 don't have the sensor. DURING A SET ⢠A big count you can read from the floor ⢠A quiet tick each rep, and a marker every 10th one ⢠Sets finish on their own when you stop ⢠Interrupted sets are kept, not thrown away AFTER ⢠Every set saved with its time, tempo and confidence ⢠Fix a miscount with one tap, or log a set you did without earbuds ⢠Challenges to work toward and milestones as you pass them ⢠Last seven days of history, always free COUNTLESS PRO ⢠Your whole history ⢠Records: best set, best day, longest streak ⢠Trends: weekly volume, training days, time of day ⢠Write sets to Apple Health, with calories estimated from your weight Pro is a subscription with a free trial.
