Phone up, two steps back
- Lean your iPhone on a bottle or a wall, low and steady, about two steps (1.5 to 2 m) in front of you.
- Keep your head, shoulders and hands in view for the whole rep.
- A slight angle from the side works well too.

support@getpushpact.comThe quickest way is Send feedback in PushPact’s Settings › Help: it fills in your app version, device model and iOS version for you. For anything about your data, include the Install ID from Settings › Privacy.



If you said no earlier, PushPact shows you the way back. In the app, open Settings: the Permissions section lists each one with a Turn on button.
After your first five sets, and then about one set in four, the set summary asks: Did I count right?
What gets sent
Only if you turn that switch on: numbers from that one set. Body-pose joint positions with the phone in front of you, or face distance and angle with it under your face, with timestamps. Never video, never images, never audio, and never used to identify anyone. It’s kept for up to 12 months, only to improve counting.
Calibration logs in the privacy policyCheck Screen Time access
Open the Lock tab in PushPact. If Screen Time access is off, it asks you again.
Check your picks
On the Lock tab, confirm the apps or categories you want are selected.
Give it a restart
Screen Time occasionally needs a nudge after an iOS update. Restarting your iPhone usually does it.
You can turn App Lock off at any time. It’s your pact. PushPact never sees which apps you choose: Apple keeps that to itself.
On your iPhone
There’s no account, so deleting the app deletes everything it stored: your pact, sets, streaks, seals and selfies. Films and cards you saved to Photos stay there until you delete them.
Diagnostics and calibration logs
Email support@getpushpact.com with your Install ID from Settings › Privacy (tap it to copy), before you delete the app. To stop sending crash reports and usage data, turn off Share anonymous diagnostics in the same place.
Any iPhone on iOS 26.1 or later. Counting with the phone under your face needs an iPhone with Face ID, because it uses the TrueDepth camera.
No. Camera frames are analysed on your iPhone and never uploaded or stored. Selfies stay on your device. Films are only saved to your Photos if you choose to film a set.
PushPact pauses when it can’t see you properly, and it tells you why, out loud and on screen. Usually it’s the light, the phone’s position, or a hand or your head leaving the frame.
A set opens your locked apps once it reaches the number on your Lock tab: 10 push-ups for 15 minutes, unless you changed it. Today’s full number opens them till midnight. If you set a daily limit and it’s used up, push-ups can’t buy more time until midnight (or pick Just tell me in Limits & more). Still locked after a set that reached it? Open PushPact once, then the app again. In a hurry? On the Lock tab, Limits & more › Emergency unlock opens them for 10 minutes once a day, no push-ups needed. Then write to us.
A walk-away counts when you tap Walk away +1 on the lock. Apple doesn’t tell PushPact when you just swipe home, so that one isn’t seen. If you tap Do push-ups and don’t open the app, it still counts as a walk-away.
Open the invite link a friend sends you, or start your own on the Crew tab and share the link. To leave, tap the … menu on the Crew tab, then Leave crew. Your crew sees your name, your counts and any proof shots you post, never your camera.
No. There’s nothing to sign up for.
