How to turn on daily push-up reminders in CounterUps

A training plan only works if you show up. CounterUps can send itself a local notification at whatever time — or times — you pick, no calendar app required.

3 min read

Reminders live under your Profile, not the Workout tab — it's a general setting, not tied to any one training mode or plan. It's a local notification: CounterUps schedules it on your phone directly, so it still fires even if you're offline.

Steps and screenshots verified against app version: 2026.7.7

  1. 1Open Profile and tap Reminder

    Switch to the Profile tab at the bottom of the screen. Under "Training & Settings," under Training Target, you'll find "Reminder."

  2. 2Turn on the Reminder switch

    The Reminder screen has one switch. The first time you turn it on, iOS also asks permission to send notifications — allow it, or the schedule you set next won't actually alert you.

  3. 3Pick a time and a frequency

    Turning the switch on opens a time picker right away — set the hour and minute, then choose how often: Daily, Every 2 days, Every 3 days, Weekdays, or Weekends. Confirm to save it; it appears in the list below as "Reminder time — 1." Tap the "+" in the top-right any time to add another reminder at a different time or frequency — useful for a morning and an evening slot. Tap an existing reminder to delete it.

Reminders are just a nudge — they don't start a workout or count anything by themselves. Tapping the notification opens CounterUps; you still pick a mode and go. If a reminder stops feeling useful, come back to this same screen, delete it, or flip the master switch off to pause all of them at once without losing your saved times.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Quick answers about this feature.

Can I set more than one reminder time?

Yes. Each tap of the "+" button adds another time-and-frequency pair to the list, so you can run a morning reminder and an evening one at once.

What do the frequency options — Every 2 days, Every 3 days — actually mean?

They're an interval counted from the day you create the reminder, repeating from there — not tied to a specific weekday. Weekdays and Weekends are the calendar-based options if you want Monday–Friday or Saturday–Sunday specifically.

The reminder never notified me — what's wrong?

Check that notifications are actually allowed: open the iOS Settings app, find CounterUps, and confirm Notifications are on — if you tapped "Don't Allow" the first time, the in-app switch can be on while nothing actually fires, and you'll need to flip it on there instead.
