1. I don't think I'd use it. It feels too much like using an app to meditate. But it's a neat app.
2. What's up with the scrolling strikethroughed social media networks up at the top.
Aside: I've occasionally done "Be able to do 100 pushups" challenges. Nobody else's plans has worked for me.
What's always worked for me is stacking pushups. If I start and can do only 5 pushups comfortably, then I do 5 pushups at a time throughout the day. Say, 3 - 4 times a day to start. Then move to stacks of 10 throughout the day. When I get up to doing stacks of about 40, I can bang out 100 pushups. If I start and can only do 1 pushup (healed injuries, out of shape, etc) then I'll start a stack of 1 pushup.
I somewhat adopted this from my military days. It's worked remarkably well for me and I can from doing say, 2-3 pushups and get to 100 pushups in about 4 weeks. YMMV.

That’s totally fair! The idea was that we often lose track of time on social media apps (hence the strikethrough) so what if there was a way to nudge us to get some push ups in during our down time?
Also, love the push up stack challenge. I’ll have to give that a try! 100 push ups in a day now that’s a goal I still have to hit

Good point about the notifications. That's a pain point of mine: remembering to do a stack throughout a busy day.
