UdeTancho — Push-ups with Impact
UdeTancho is a Japanese-inspired fitness app that automatically counts push-ups and records your daily practice with sharp impact feedback. The front camera reads your face movement in real time, and every down-and-up rep lands as a clean strike.
One rep today becomes the next strike.
Push-ups are simple, but counting them while moving can be surprisingly annoying. UdeTancho lets you place your iPhone on the floor, focus on the movement, and keep a visible record of what you did. It is designed for sustainable practice, not unsafe max-rep chasing.
Now available on the App Store.
Automatic Push-up Counting
Place your iPhone on the floor with the screen facing up, so the front camera looks up toward your face. The app reads your face moving closer and farther away during push-ups, then counts reps in real time. Each rep gives the screen a clear sense of impact, making plain counting feel a little more alive.
Images, video, and face data are not saved or transmitted externally. Detection happens on the device for the current session only.
Discover the invisible dots and geometry behind the count in How Does an iPhone Count Push-Ups?, with an interactive depth experiment.
