Field notes
The displayed sample logs Rep 7 at 0.78 seconds, split into 0.18 seconds for setup, 0.32 for drive, and 0.28 for standing; it also shows three of five reps completed and a 12-day streak. The page says processing happens on-device, without internet or wearables, and that neither camera footage nor pose data is uploaded or stored on a server. Franklin Velásquez identifies himself as the sole maker.
