Pushy - Push Ups Alarm for Android

Review — Pushy: Alarm That Forces a Workout

Pushy: Push-Ups Alarm is an Android alarm app that prevents easy snoozing by requiring real physical movement to dismiss it. Instead of tapping a button, you must perform push-ups in front of your phone so the alarm turns off. This blends waking up with a short burst of exercise, helping users start their morning more alert and active.

How the app operates

The alarm triggers normally, but to silence it you have to do push-ups while the app monitors you through the device camera. It automatically counts repetitions, so you do not need to log each one manually. The idea is to create a routine that both wakes you and adds a bit of fitness to your morning.

Notable capabilities

• Custom alarm tones and sounds to personalize the wake-up experience.
• Multiple alarm profiles and schedules to fit different daily routines.
• Difficulty settings to adjust how many push-ups are required or how strict detection is.

Additionally, the app can run without an internet connection and focuses on protecting user privacy by not saving or uploading raw video footage.

Who benefits most

• Newcomers beginning a fitness habit who want a simple daily nudge.
• People who sleep heavily and need more than a standard tone to wake up.
• Chronic snoozers who repeatedly dismiss alarms without getting out of bed.

Privacy and offline behavior

Pushy uses on-device camera analysis to detect movement and count push-ups. According to the app, no video files are stored or transmitted, and the detection works offline so you won’t need to be connected to the internet for the core functionality.
