Show HN: Get off your a** and do push-ups
itsharveenatwal Tuesday, July 01, 2025
I built an app where you LITERALLY have to do push-ups to use Reddit (or whatever app).
My guy, this is the summer you get SWOLE! Build a massive chest instead of doomscrolling on Hackernews.
Also, it's FREE. You can set it on a schedule. You can set it on a time limit. You can set it after X opens. Or even after you come home from work.
The apps will remain blocked until you do your push-ups!
The app is built natively on SwiftUI. I use Apple's native Vision API to detect body parts and joints. I use Apple's Screen Time API for app blocking.
I don't know what else to say so go on now and get the app!!
