CounterUps Plus
CounterUps Plus is a self-discipline tool for adults. You lock apps on your own iPhone, earn time credits by completing real exercises counted on-device, and redeem a limited unlock window. Camera recognition, workout videos, and the credit ledger stay on the device. There is no account and no CounterUps Plus server. This is a separate app from CounterUps, the push-up tracker.
On-device exercise counting
Push-ups, squats, and sit-ups are free automatic exercises. Premium adds plank, jumping jack, and pull-up (manual).
Credits you can redeem
Completed work becomes a local credit ledger. Redeem a limited unlock window. Credits expire; daily limits are the same for free and paid users.
Workout video you control
After a session the app can compose a 9:16 video on-device. Save to Photos or share only when you tap.
Widgets and unlock countdown
A widget and Live Activity read the same on-device balance and remaining unlock time through an App Group.
Works without locking
If you deny Screen Time, CounterUps Plus still counts exercises and records videos. Enable locking later in Settings.
Why it works
More than just a list of features.
Here's why each of these capabilities was built the way it was, and what it means for your workouts.
You set the rules
Lock only the apps you pick. Revoke Screen Time authorization, skip a session, or uninstall anytime. This is adult self-discipline, not parental control.
Real reps, on-device
Vision counts supported exercises on your iPhone. Pull-ups are manual. The app never uploads your videos on its own.
Private by design
No account, no BigBeeFit backend, no HealthKit, no tracking or ads. Selected apps are stored as opaque system tokens we cannot read.
