About Mantis: Smart Workouts
Mantis is the workout app where you never count. Put your iPhone in front of you: the camera recognizes the exercise and counts every rep. Your only job is to move. JUST TRAIN. WE COUNT. • Camera rep counter for push-ups, squats, pull-ups, burpees, jumping jacks and more • Plank timer that starts on its own as soon as you hold the position • Only full reps count — partial reps are shown separately, so your numbers stay honest • Free mode: do exercises in any order, Mantis figures out what you're doing • Sets mode: rep goals, number of sets and a rest timer • Voice coach that guides the workout and counts out loud • Technique videos before exercises you haven't done yet • On iPhone models with LiDAR, movement is tracked in 3D for even better accuracy BOSS BATTLES • The Battles tab: beat the bosses of chapter I with your reps — every rep takes away a boss's health, and bosses heal during the fight • Every boss has its own voice, and the chapter has its own music • A ranking among friends and everyone, and a trophy card to share your win SHORT, NO EXCUSES A 4-minute warm-up, a home workout or a street workout on the bar and dips. 15 exercises, most of them bodyweight. No gym needed — just your phone and a bit of floor.

What’s new
Version 1.3.0 · Updated October 26, 2026
Battles — fight the bosses. The new Battles tab brings chapter I “Awakening” with five bosses: Slime, Goblin, Stone Guard, Shadow Hunter and Tower King. A boss fight is a workout: the camera counts your reps, every rep takes away the boss's health, and the boss heals during the fight. Every boss has its own voice, and the chapter has its own music. Climb the ranking among friends and everyone, and share a win right away with a trophy card. A new “posted” pill in the feed shows which friends shared new workouts — tap it to jump to them.
