The camera counts the reps.
You just work out.

Wolkup uses your iPhone camera and on-device pose recognition to track your body during a workout and count supported exercises: push-ups, squats, lunges, burpees, floor abs, dumbbell moves and plank holds — over a dozen already, and the list keeps growing. Everything runs on the phone.

No. Camera tracking is used during the workout to count supported exercises — video is never recorded, saved, or uploaded anywhere.

The camera already counts over a dozen exercises automatically: push-ups, squats, lunges, burpees, plank, floor abs (crunches, glute bridge, leg raises) and dumbbell moves (overhead press, lateral raises, bicep curls). Walks, runs, cycling and skating are tracked by GPS. We add new ones regularly — this is not the three basics everyone ships.

Yes. The phone alone is enough for every workout — Apple Watch is optional and adds live heart rate plus a companion view of your streak and skills.

Most trackers just log what you tell them. Wolkup’s camera counts the reps for you, and progress turns into RPG-style character growth instead of a plain history list.

Wolkup’s streak is soft: missing a day opens a grace window to come back and extend it, instead of resetting straight to zero.

No — it’s built for beginners as much as for people who train regularly; goals and sets adjust to what you can already do.

Not yet — Wolkup is iOS only for now, with an Apple Watch companion app.

It’s almost always a permission that got skipped: each one is asked once, and “Don’t Allow” is easy to tap without reading. Go through them in order: iPhone Settings → Wolkup → Location must be “Always” (otherwise a walk loses distance once the screen turns off), Motion & Fitness on (steps and indoor workouts), Notifications on. Then Settings → Health → Data Access → Wolkup: read and write are separate switches there, and “Workout Routes” is its own one — without it a workout reaches Health with no map. For Apple Watch: open Wolkup on the watch itself once and allow Health access — the watch asks separately from the phone, and without it a wrist workout won’t start.

Deleting the app resets every iOS permission: location, Motion & Fitness, notifications and Health access, including access on the watch. Your account, streak and history are untouched — they live on the server, and you don’t need to sign in again. The permissions do need granting again: if Health stays off, the app offers to reconnect it with a card on the home screen. And open Wolkup on the watch once to restore access there.
