Getting Started

Step 1 — Download the app

Download 26 Pushups on the App Store for iOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/26-pushups/id6463124363. Android is coming soon; join the waitlist at 26pushups.com. Push-up counting and reminders are available without an account or subscription.

Step 2 — Do your baseline

Place your iPhone below your chest, start a workout, and use the proximity-based counter to record the reps you complete safely.

If a movement does not feel safe for you, stop and ask a qualified professional for advice.

Step 3 — Show up every day

The goal is 26 reps, every day. Some days easy, some days hard. All days count.

• The app counts reps during the workout.
• When you hit 26, the day turns green on your streak grid.
• Miss a day and the streak resets — no freezes, no tokens. The streak means something.

Set your reminder

Go to Settings → Reminder and pick a time if you want a reminder. The app sends one optional daily reminder at the time you choose, and nothing else.

Frequently asked questions

What if I miss a day? Your streak resets to zero. This is intentional — consistency is the point. Start again tomorrow.

What does Premium include? Premium is optional and has monthly and annual plans. It provides progress widgets after the local seven-day preview period and removes post-workout upgrade prompts. Apple shows the current price in the app.

Is my data private? The app does not require an account or login. Reps, streaks, reminders, and progress history are stored locally on your device; see the Privacy Policy for service-provider details.
