A squat is harder to count than a push-up. Bodies are different heights, phones sit at different distances, and depth is the whole question. FitToll handles that by measuring you first.
It calibrates to you
At the start of a session the counter watches you standing and works out what your normal looks like from where the phone happens to be. Everything after that is measured against you, at that distance, in that session — not against a fixed number that assumes a particular body at a particular range.
The signal it tracks is knee-based and scaled to your own proportions, so someone tall standing further back and someone short standing closer both get counted properly.
Front view or side view
Front view counts reps. Stand your phone on the floor facing you, 4–6 feet away, whole body in shot. Keep it low — a camera up on a shelf is looking down at you and can’t see how deep you actually went.
Side view counts reps and checks your form. Prop the phone at waist height, 4–6 feet away, so it sees your full body side-on. Depth and forward lean read much more clearly from the side, which is why form coaching lives there.
Pick whichever suits the room. Front view is usually easier to set up; side view tells you more.
Half-reps don’t count
Down and back up, or nothing. A dip that never reaches the bottom is a movement the counter has seen start and abandon, so the number stays put. Three strictness levels — Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced — decide how deep “down” has to be, because your squat and mine are probably not the same squat.
Nothing leaves your phone
No video is recorded and nothing is uploaded. Pose detection runs locally on your device, camera frames are discarded as they’re processed, and the whole thing works offline.
Using it on its own
Test Exercise on the home screen runs a counting session without blocking anything — useful for getting your phone position right before it matters.
Why the count has to be honest
FitToll blocks the apps you lose time to, and reps are how you get in. A counter you can fool is a blocker you can walk through, so there’s no tapping, no accelerometer, and no skip button.
The same engine counts push-ups, and there’s more on how it works in AI rep counter.
Where do I put the phone?
For front view, stand the phone on the floor facing you, 4–6 feet away, with your whole body in shot. Keep it low — a high camera can’t see your squat depth. For side view, prop it at waist height, 4–6 feet away, so the camera sees your full body side-on.
What's the difference between front and side view?
Front view counts reps. Side view counts reps and checks your form, since depth and lean are much easier to read from the side.
Does it count squats automatically?
Yes. Start a session and every rep is counted as you stand back up. There’s nothing to tap.
Do half-reps count?
No. You have to go down and come back up. Dipping partway leaves the count where it was.
Are squats free?
Yes. Both push-ups and squats are included at no cost. Premium ($5.99/month or $29.99/year) lifts the one-app limit on blocking, not the exercises.
Does any video leave my phone?
No. Nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded, and detection runs on the device. It works in airplane mode.
