Block distracting apps and unlock them with push-ups. Auto-count each rep, follow a 30-day plan, and keep a streak.
CounterUps counts your push-ups for you. Put your iPhone on the floor under your chest, screen up. On Face ID iPhones the front camera watches each rep, so you don't have to tap.
# Train to earn screen time
Block the apps that distract you and unlock them with push-ups. Requires iOS Screen Time. Pro can change how many seconds each rep is worth.
# Automatic counting
- Front camera / TrueDepth (recommended on Face ID iPhones)
- Proximity sensor as an alternative
- Sound and haptics, so you don't need to watch the screen
- Manual tap and voice counting always available
You can also place your iPhone in landscape beside your body: it films a side view, counts automatically, and saves a training video.
# Five workout modes
- Reps: set a number and finish it
- Time: train for a set duration
- Calories: keep going until you hit your target
- Intervals: sets and rest you define
- Free: no cap, just count
# Eight 30-day programs
Eight progressive 30-day tracks, from an absolute-beginner track to a daily 30-rep track. Three are free. Pick the weekdays that work for you, and the app builds the calendar.
# Progress
- Workout history and achievements
- Workouts can sync calories to Apple Health
- Apple Watch counting with motion sensors
- Full statistics, strength curves, and the yearly calendar are Pro
# Free and Pro
Free includes automatic counting, all five modes, screen-time exchange, achievements, and three 30-day programs.
Pro unlocks the other five programs, full statistics, the training calendar, deeper analysis, iCloud sync, custom scheduling, an adjustable exchange rate, and more app icons (2 free, 4 with Pro).
Some subscription plans include a free trial. Price and trial eligibility are shown in the app before you confirm a purchase.

Update after Stuck in an infinite loop
Plasmag
Update: Haven’t tried the new app version yet, but apparently this bug has been fixed.After downloading the app and filling out my basic information, I’m stuck in an infinite loop that’s preventing me from using the app. I get a pop up for 50% off on a limited time offer for a 1 year subscription. When I press the X button I get an alert message in Chinese. If I press the blue text button, it closes the alert but the pop up is still there. If I press the red text button, the promotional pop up disappears for a second, but then immediately reappears. It seems like a bug and the app is unusable without a subscription.

This app is too buggy to be a paid sub. Push-ups aren’t counting, and the English language option still has various Chinese writing throughout the app. Probably more but I’m not exploring the app to find out.
Developer Response
Thank you very much for your feedback. There are some bugs in the subscription function. I am currently working on fixing them. I believe they will be fixed soon. I will check the translation again in the near future, and you are welcome to give me feedback. In return, I can provide you with some exchange codes. I'm really sorry for the delay. I will fix the problem you mentioned as soon as possible. Thanks again.
This update:
• Camera detection now tells you the first rep may be used to calibrate and might not count.
• Fixed an extra rep that could be counted when you stand up after finishing.
• Fixed a crash that could happen when an alert appeared during landscape recording, and a freeze that could happen when ending a workout.
• New installs now start with a first workout; the Settings update entry is labeled "View in App Store".
