The alarm you have to earn

You can stop the alarm. You can't fake the reps.

FitClock is the alarm clock for heavy sleepers who have tried everything else. Your camera counts every rep and scores your form, so a half push-up does not count and going back to bed is not on the menu.

Requires iPhone on iOS 26.1 or later. Free to download.

Willpower is weakest at 6am. So we removed the decision.

When the alarm goes off, the part of your brain that makes decisions has not woken up yet. That is why snoozing feels reasonable at the time and stupid an hour later.

1

Set it the night before

Pick your time, your sound and which exercises are in your rotation. Set your own starting number for each one.

2

It rings through anything

FitClock uses Apple's AlarmKit, so it sounds through Silent mode and Focus, the same way the built-in Clock app does.

3

Earn your way out

Prop the phone up and do the reps. FitClock counts and scores each one, and the alarm is not done until you are.

Rep scoring

Most apps count reps. FitClock scores them.

On-device pose detection tracks 33 points on your body and judges every single repetition, so you find out whether that was a real set or a sloppy one.

  • Depth. How far you actually went, not how far you meant to go.
  • Tempo. Bouncing through reps scores lower than controlled ones.
  • Form. Symmetry and body line, so sagging hips get caught and called out.
  • Clean reps build a combo. Sloppy ones break it and do not count towards the target.

Ten missions. Pick your poison, or let FitClock pick.

Turn on as many as you like. Enable more than one and FitClock chooses a different mission each morning, so the week never gets stale and you cannot pre-plan your way out of it.

Randomised each morning

You do not get to negotiate with yourself the night before, because you do not know what is coming.

If the bedroom cannot be lit, the fifty steps mission uses the motion sensors instead of the camera.

Quiet options

Sharing walls? Squats and plank holds get you out of bed without waking the whole building.

Progress

You won't be doing 8 forever.

FitClock builds an eight week ramp from whatever you can manage today. The target rises as you get stronger, so the alarm that wakes you now is not the one that wakes you in two months.

Privacy

Your bedroom stays your bedroom.

A camera app in your bedroom is a fair thing to be suspicious about, so FitClock is built to give you nothing to worry about.

  • Camera frames are analysed on your device and never recorded
  • Nothing is uploaded, because there is no server to upload it to
  • No account, no sign-up, no email required to use the app
  • No analytics SDK and no advertising trackers, at all

Frequently asked questions

How does FitClock stop me hitting snooze?

FitClock schedules a real system alarm that rings through Silent mode and Focus. When you stop it, FitClock opens straight into your mission, and the day does not start until you have completed your reps in front of the camera.

Does it really count my reps?

Yes. FitClock uses on-device pose detection to track 33 points on your body. It counts each repetition and scores it for depth, tempo and symmetry, so a half push-up does not count towards your target.

Is my camera footage recorded?

No. Camera frames are analysed on your device to count reps and are never recorded, stored or uploaded. FitClock has no account and sends no data off your phone.

What if I cannot do push-ups?

You choose which exercises are in your rotation and set your own starting number for each. There is also a fifty steps mission that needs no camera at all.

Will it get harder over time?

Yes. FitClock builds an eight week ramp from your starting number, so the target rises as you get stronger. The alarm that wakes you today is not the one that wakes you in two months.

Which devices does FitClock support?

FitClock needs an iPhone running iOS 26.1 or later, because it uses Apple's AlarmKit to ring through Silent mode and Focus.

What if the room is too dark?

Pose detection needs some light. If your bedroom genuinely cannot be lit, switch that alarm to the fifty steps mission, which uses the motion sensors instead of the camera.

Tomorrow morning starts tonight.

Set one alarm. Do one set. See how different the day feels when it starts with something finished instead of something postponed.
