You don’t need a bench or fancy equipment to work out with Push Up Counter & Tracker – just your device and a bit of floor space. The app uses your camera and Apple’s ARKit to count every push-up you do – tracking your progress for you, so you can concentrate on each rep.

What we love: How refreshingly simple yet seriously smart this app is. It highlights your top performances, giving you clear benchmarks to aim for, tracks your progress with neat, easy-to-read stats and keeps you motivated with personal goals and fun challenges. All wrapped up in a sleek, minimalist design.

Quick tip: Got an Apple Watch? You can start your session right from your wrist – no iPhone or iPad needed, and everything syncs automatically.

Meet the creator: Push Up Counter & Tracker was developed by Paris–based studio WSFU, a team that knows how to make staying motivated more enjoyable. If you’ve still got some core strength left after your push-ups, try their other app Plank Challenge – perfect for building stronger abs.
