Push-up alarm & workout reminder for iPhone
The push-up alarm app that turns “later” into reps.
Choose your workout times. When the commitment alarm arrives, open the camera-assisted challenge, finish the set, and make the habit visible—one honest session at a time.
On-device rep checking
No video saved by default
Built for iOS 26
Earn silence.
Built for the push-up sets you promised yourself—not just morning wake-ups.
Grow Arms for iPhone
Put the promise on your Home Screen.
Get Grow Arms from the App Store and turn the push-up sessions you schedule into sets you can actually see adding up.
For iPhone with iOS 26 or later.
Why reminders fail
A notification asks. A commitment alarm expects an answer.
Grow Arms connects each chosen time to a real session, so the reminder does not disappear into notification history. You see the target, do the work, and keep an honest record.
Accepted reps
Live camera frames are analyzed on the iPhone to count the expected top-down-top movement.
Visible follow-through
Review push-up volume, scheduled sessions, goal history, and manual body measurements.
Actual app screens
Plan the moment before motivation gets a vote.
Grow Arms keeps setup direct: understand the promise, choose a realistic starting point, grant only the permissions the core loop needs, and review the schedule before it starts.
AlarmKit’s exact Lock Screen, audio, and button lifecycle is still being verified on physical iPhones. The app is positioned as a commitment alarm—not an impossible-to-stop alarm.
How Grow Arms works
From intention to an honest set in four moves.
The app keeps the loop small enough to repeat and specific enough to measure.
Set your baseline
Enter the number of controlled push-ups you can currently do and choose a manageable per-session goal.
Choose safe times
Select weekdays and workout times when you have enough floor space, privacy, and energy to train.
Answer the alarm
Use the alarm action to open the matching push-up session. The native iOS Stop control still remains available.
Complete and review
Finish accepted reps, then use session history and volume—not wishful targets—to adjust the plan yourself.
Focused by design
Built around push-ups, not a marketplace of missions.
Grow Arms stays close to one useful promise: schedule short upper-body sets, count accepted reps, and show the work adding up.
Build a beginner push-up plan →Camera privacy by default
Your push-ups stay in the room.
Grow Arms treats camera data as sensitive. Live frames are processed on the iPhone for rep counting, with no workout video upload or storage by default. The counter is a habit tool—not a medical form assessment or a promise of perfect recognition.
Practical push-up guides
Answer the question. Then make the answer usable.
Each guide starts with the search question, gives a direct and careful answer, and shows how to turn it into a safe Grow Arms schedule.

Straight answers about iPhone alarms, camera counting, privacy, frequency, and safety.
What is a push-up alarm app?
A push-up alarm app connects a scheduled alert to an exercise session. Grow Arms opens the matching challenge, uses the iPhone camera to count accepted reps on device, and records whether the planned set was completed.

Grow Arms is built for that commitment flow: answer the alarm, open the linked set, and complete the target. iOS still provides its own system Stop control, so Grow Arms does not claim the alarm is literally impossible to stop.
Learn how the alarm-to-workout flow worksHow can I stop snoozing my iPhone alarm?
Protect enough sleep first, keep a consistent schedule, move the phone out of easy reach, and make the first action specific. A movement-based commitment alarm can add friction, but it cannot replace adequate sleep or address a medical cause of persistent difficulty waking.
Learn more about reducing snooze habitsCan I schedule push-up reminders throughout the day?
Yes. Choose active weekdays and several workout times, then review the scheduled sessions. Start with a frequency and rep target you can recover from before adding more alarms.
Learn how to build a push-up reminder scheduleHow does Grow Arms count push-ups with the iPhone camera?
The app analyzes live frames on the iPhone and accepts a rep after the expected top-down-top movement cycle. Phone placement, lighting, clothing, framing, and pace can affect recognition; it is not a medical form assessment.
Learn about camera-assisted push-up countingDoes Grow Arms record or upload camera video?
No workout video is uploaded or stored by default. Camera frames are processed on the device for rep counting.
Learn more about on-device camera privacyHow many push-ups should a beginner do per day?
There is no universal number. Start below your current maximum, preserve controlled technique, allow recovery, and adjust from repeated sessions rather than chasing a headline total.
Learn how to choose a personal daily targetShould I do push-ups every day or every other day?
Either can fit, depending on effort, total volume, recovery, and experience. Every other day is a clear beginner rhythm; daily practice should stay lower effort and should never override recovery needs.
Compare daily and alternate-day schedulesWhat should I do if exercising is painful or unsafe?
Stop. Use the safety exit when pain, dizziness, injury, illness, driving, or the environment makes a push-up set unsafe. A streak or alarm is never more important than safety.
Learn how to start with a conservative planDoes a Grow Arms alarm work in Silent Mode or Focus?
Apple documents authorized AlarmKit alarms as prominent alerts that can override Silent Mode and Focus when necessary. Grow Arms is still validating its exact Lock Screen, foreground audio, and physical-button lifecycle on real iPhones, so final behavior should not be treated as guaranteed in every condition.
