People who want short, game-like push-up workouts

The camera tracks eye height only; images are discarded frame by frame and the game runs offline.

Field notes

The app calibrates from a single push-up, then uses front-camera eye-height tracking to control a flying character without requiring a wearable or internet connection. The site says camera frames are discarded individually and offers touch control when the camera is disabled. Sessions include a daily challenge, an effort-only timer, up to a x5 multiplier, round history, and on-device video or score-card sharing.
