About Daily Ascent
Structured bodyweight training that adapts to your schedule. Nine exercises, three levels each, no account required. Build a real bodyweight training habit and actually get stronger. Daily Ascent gives you a structured programme across nine exercise groups, each with three progressive levels. New to training? Start with the "Prepare" tier for Pull-Ups, Push-Ups, and Dips, beginner-friendly variations that build you up to Level 1. Follow your prescribed sets and reps, pass a max-rep test, and unlock the next level. No guesswork. Core Features: - Master Your Bodyweight: Push-Ups, Squats, Pull-Ups, Dead Bugs, Hip Hinges, Spinal Extensions, Planks, Rows, and Dips. From beginner to advanced, every training day is mapped out. - Smart Scheduling: Rest days adjust automatically based on when you actually trained, not when you planned to. Miss a session? Your schedule shifts. No lost progress. - Test Days That Mean Something: Each level ends with a max-rep test. Pass it and move up. Clear, earned progression. No self-assessment needed. - Level Preview: Long-press any level to see the full day-by-day plan, variation details, and test targets before you start. - Train From Your Wrist: Pair with Apple Watch to count reps, time rest periods, and log sessions without touching your phone. - Achievements: Earn badges for milestones, streaks, consistency, and more as you train. - Community Rankings: Opt in to see where your personal bests and streak rank against other users, powered by fully anonymous data that's never linked to your identity. - Private by Design: Everything runs offline on your device. No account. No tracking. Community data is anonymous and deletable with one tap. Stop guessing your workouts. Download Daily Ascent and start your climb.
What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated April 20, 2026
Prepare Level: Pull-Ups, Push-Ups, and Dips now have a beginner-friendly "Prepare" tier with easier variations (Negative Pull-Up, Incline Push-Up, Assisted Bench Dip). A great starting point if Level 1 feels too challenging. Level Preview: Long-press any level segment to see the full breakdown: variation name, training days, test target, and day-by-day plan. Extended Programs: Longer Level 3 programs for Pull-Ups, Push-Ups, Squats, and Dead Bugs with consolidation phases for deeper strength gains. Pull-Ups Level 1 also extended with extra consolidation days.
