A Push-Up Counter That Only Counts Full-Depth Reps

RepDepth watches your form with the iPhone camera and counts a rep only when you actually hit depth — shallow reps get flagged, not counted.

What is RepDepth?

RepDepth is a push-up tracker for iPhone that judges each rep instead of guessing. Using on-device body-pose tracking, it follows your shoulders, elbows and hips through every rep, and only counts the ones where your elbows bend past the threshold and your chest reaches the bottom. Half reps show up as no-reps, so your total means something.

When the phone is lying on the floor under your chest and the camera can't see you, RepDepth switches to a motion-based fallback so the count keeps going — in a dark room, face down, no staring at the screen. Everything runs on the device: no video is recorded or uploaded, and no internet connection is needed.

Around the counter sits a full training log: session summaries that separate real reps from shallow ones, streaks, personal records, custom rep plans, the classic six-week ladder, and manual entry for the sets you did without the app. Verified push-up workouts can be written to Apple Health.

Features

Form-verified counting

On-device pose tracking measures elbow angle and torso depth on every rep. A rep counts only when you reach the bottom and return to lockout.

No-rep detection

Shallow reps aren't silently dropped or double-counted — they're shown and flagged, so you know exactly how many were real.

Works face-down in the dark

A motion-based fallback keeps counting when the phone is on the floor and the camera can't see you. No good lighting required.

Live depth meter

A meter shows how deep each rep went in real time, and the session summary reports good reps versus shallow reps.

Plans, streaks and records

Follow the classic six-week ladder or build your own rep targets. Streaks and personal records are computed from verified reps only.

Manual logging and Apple Health

Add or edit any set without opening the camera, and write completed push-up workouts to Apple Health.

How it works

Set the phone down

Prop the iPhone where the camera can see you, or lay it flat on the floor under your chest — RepDepth handles both.

Do your push-ups

The counter tracks each rep live. Full-depth reps land with a verified stamp; shallow ones flash as no-reps.

Read the honest summary

After the set you see real reps versus no-reps, your depth, your streak, and how the session fits your plan.

Keep the streak going

Daily sessions build your streak and personal records, and workouts can sync to Apple Health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an app that counts push-ups automatically on iPhone?

Yes. RepDepth counts push-ups automatically using the iPhone's camera and on-device body-pose tracking. It follows your shoulder, elbow and hip joints through each rep and increments the counter only when a full down-and-up cycle is detected. You don't tap the screen or touch the phone with your nose — you just do the set.

How does a push-up counter app know if my form is correct?

RepDepth measures two things on every rep: how far your elbows bend and how close your torso gets to the floor. A rep is verified only when both cross the depth threshold and you return to lockout. It's a rep and depth counter, not a coach — it tells you whether the rep counted, not how to train.

Can a push-up app count reps in the dark?

Camera-based counting needs some light, but RepDepth doesn't stop when the camera can't see you. It switches to a motion-based fallback that detects reps while the phone lies flat on the floor under your chest. That means early-morning push-ups in a dark bedroom still count.

Why do push-up counter apps miscount reps?

Many counters rely on simple proximity or face-detection tricks — 'something is near the camera' — which double-count, miss reps, or break outside perfect conditions. RepDepth uses a rep state machine driven by joint angles and torso depth instead, so a rep is counted from actual movement, and anything shallow is flagged as a no-rep rather than guessed.

Can I add push-ups I did without the app?

Yes. RepDepth has manual entry, so you can log or edit any set after the fact — reps done at the gym, on a trip, or before you installed the app. Manual sets go into your history and plan progress alongside camera-verified sessions.

What is a no-rep in push-up training?

A no-rep is a repetition that doesn't meet the movement standard — usually not going deep enough or not locking out at the top. RepDepth detects shallow reps automatically and lists them separately in your session summary, so your recorded total reflects only full-range push-ups.

Does RepDepth work with Apple Health?

Yes. RepDepth can write your completed push-up workouts to Apple Health, so verified sessions appear alongside the rest of your activity. Health access is optional and you grant it explicitly.

Is there a push-up challenge or plan in the app?

RepDepth includes the classic six-week push-up ladder and also lets you build a fully custom plan with your own rep targets. Plans aren't forced into steep jumps — you set the pace, and the app tracks each day's target against your verified reps.

How do I keep a push-up streak going?

Do at least one tracked session a day and RepDepth extends your streak automatically. Because streaks are built from verified reps, the number reflects days you genuinely trained, and your history shows every session behind it.

Does the app record video of me doing push-ups?

No. The camera feed is processed on the device in real time to extract joint positions, and no video is recorded, stored, or uploaded. Only the derived counts and depth values are saved, and the app works completely offline.

How deep should a push-up go to count?

A full push-up bends the elbows to roughly 90 degrees or less with the chest approaching the floor, then returns to straight arms. RepDepth uses that standard by default and offers strict, balanced and lenient sensitivity settings so you can match the depth bar to your training style.

Can I see my push-up personal records?

Yes. RepDepth keeps a records board built entirely from your own stored sessions — best single set, best day, lifetime verified reps and more. There are no fabricated rivals or online boards; every number is your real data.
