About the Push Up Counter
Push-ups are the hardest exercise to count honestly, because there is no equipment to interrupt the set and no natural pause between reps. That is why pushup totals drift upward in memory and why challenge programmes fall apart around week three. Tapping a floor-facing phone once per rep gives you a number you can trust, and the saved daily counts turn a vague intention into a record you can actually look back at — whether you spell it push up, push-up, or pushup..

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a push up counter?
A push up counter is a tap-based tally tool for push-ups: one tap per rep, one running total on screen. It replaces counting out loud or trying to remember reps between breaths, and it works for pushups, push-ups, and press-ups alike.
Is it a "push up counter" or a "pushup counter"?
Both. "Push up" (two words) and "pushup" (one word) are the same exercise, and "push-up" is the hyphenated third spelling. This page is one tool for all three — search or link using whichever spelling you prefer.
How do I count push ups without losing track?
Place your phone on the floor in front of you and tap the screen with your nose or chin at the bottom of each rep — or just tap with one hand between reps. The huge tap zone and large display make it impossible to miscount.
How many push ups should I do a day?
There is no single number. Most beginners start somewhere between 10 and 30 push ups a day, split into as many sets as they need, and add a few reps a week. The useful target is the one you can repeat: pick a daily total you can finish with clean form, set it as the counter's limit, and raise it only when a day feels easy.
How do I increase my pushup count?
Count every set instead of guessing, then add a small amount each week — two or three reps on the daily total is enough. Most stalls come from sets that end early because the count is uncertain, not from muscle failure, so a pushup counter that records the real number usually fixes the plateau on its own.
What counts as a push up?
A rep counts when you start with arms straight, lower until your chest reaches a consistent depth, and press back up to arms straight. The important part is that the same depth counts every time — pick a standard (chest to fist height, or chin to the floor) and keep the counter honest by using it for every rep.
Does the push up counter work offline?
Yes. Install SimpleCounter as a PWA on your phone and it works fully offline at home, the park, or gym — no wifi needed, and your count is saved on the device.
Can I count pushup variations separately?
Yes. Create separate counters for standard, diamond, wide-grip, and decline pushups and switch between them between sets.
Is it free?
100% free. No signup, no premium tier. Count as many push ups as you want.

How To Run The Challenge With A Pushup Counter
- Open the counter and set the maximum limit to today's total from the table above.
- Place the phone on the floor between your hands so one tap equals one completed rep.
- Finish each set at the same depth, then tap once before you stand up — not after.
- When the counter reaches the daily total, stop there even if you could do more. Rest days are part of the plan.
- On day 30, skip the split and count a single max-effort set to see how far 30 days took you.
If a week feels too hard, hold the previous day's total for another week instead of pushing on — the plan only needs to be repeatable to work. For the counting setup behind this, see our push-up challenge counter guide and the exercise rep counter if you track pushups alongside other lifts. Install it as an app from the install page so the push up counter keeps working offline at the gym.
