Pushup RPG
Every push-up becomes an attack in a camera-counted RPG.
About
Your pushups are the weapon.
Prop up your phone, drop down, and every real rep — counted live by the camera — strikes a blow against the dark.
Pushup RPG is a free iOS and Android app whose front camera counts every rep on-device. Pushups and squats are the ones that fight: 48 monsters, or a live duel against a friend.
An RPG that only levels up when you do
No tap-to-progress, no idle timers. The only way forward is real reps.

Reps counted by the camera
On-device pose detection counts every pushup in real time — no manual tapping, no wearables, no honor system.
⚔️
Real combat, real sweat
Each rep deals damage. Fell 48 hand-crafted foes across 8 biomes, from timid slimes to Aurelion, the Astral Eye.
🛡️
Loot, gear & a loadout
Drops from Common to Mythic. Equip, upgrade, reforge and salvage gear that boosts your rewards — never your reps.
🔥
Streaks that stick
Daily quests, a weekly trial chest, and a streak system with freezes and a guided rest day so a busy week never breaks the habit.
👥
Never train alone
Add friends by code, join a guild and chip away at a shared weekly boss, and climb the daily and weekly ladders — worldwide, your country, or just your friends.
🔒
Privacy by design
The camera feed never leaves your device — no video or pose data is ever recorded or uploaded. Ever.

Number one for design, Figma… Number two when it comes to building, what I would recommend is that you build in React Native with the Expo framework using Cursor as your IDE.
The minimum viable indie-app stack: Figma, React Native Expo, Cursor
A first-principles stack for solo builders: Figma for design with reference apps, React Native + Expo for cross-platform build, and Cursor as the AI-assisted IDE. Pair with CapCut for content and one person can ship and market an app alone.
there were a couple that had been out for a couple years but none of them were successful yet That's when I realized that there was like an opening there... I think if there are a couple apps that's a good sign because they people have built it people want it just no one's really marketed it like successfully yet
Target the "2-4 mediocre apps already exist" sweet spot, not the empty niche
The ideal target niche has 2-4 unsuccessful apps already on the store — not zero (unvalidated) and not one breakout winner (too late). Existing-but-failing apps prove demand and hand you a free corpus of reviews to mine. You're looking for trends where social-media momentum has outrun the App Store: the demand wave exists but nobody has matched it with marketing yet.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
