Dip Rep Counter

Stop counting in your head. Point your phone at yourself and every full-range dip counts itself — sets, reps, and PRs logged automatically while you train your triceps and chest, with shoulders assisting. Free, in your browser, no account needed.

HOW TO DO A PROPER DIP

Setup  Support yourself on parallel bars, side-on to the camera, arms straight.

  1. Lower until your shoulders dip below your elbows.
  2. Keep a slight forward lean.
  3. Press back up to lockout.
Form cue: Lower until shoulders past elbows

This is the same instruction sheet you’ll find on the ⓘ panel inside the app — with an animated demo next to it.

How The Counting Works

HANDS-FREE IN THREE STEPS

1

Prop your phone and get in frame

Set your phone at roughly torso height and set up side-on to the camera. The built-in camera test confirms your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start.

2

The AI locks a 17-point skeleton on you

GoodReps measures your elbow angle (shoulder → elbow → wrist) in real time, entirely on your device. No wearables, no clickers. Parallel bars or a sturdy dip station.

3

Just work — the counter does the counting

A rep banks at the bottom (~75°) and re-arms when you return toward ~155°. Half reps don’t count, and after 3 clean reps it calibrates to your personal range of motion.

Under The Hood

WHAT MAKES A REP COUNT

Form Still Matters

COMMON DIP MISTAKES

Cutting the descent short

Tiny dips protect your ego, not your triceps. Lower until your shoulders pass your elbows — the camera checks from the side.

Diving too deep, too soon

Depth is earned. If your shoulders aren't ready, going way below parallel can pinch — build range gradually.

Elbows flaring wide

Wide elbows dump the load into your shoulders' worst angle. Keep them tracking back, close to your body.

Shrugging at the top

Finish tall with your shoulders pressed down away from your ears — the lockout is part of the rep.

Your Data

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Rep counting runs entirely on your device — your camera feed is never uploaded.

Pose detection runs in your browser via TensorFlow.js. Camera frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing leaves your phone, and we never see them. Sign-in is optional; skip it and everything stays local.

FAQ

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

What can I use for dips at home?

A dip station is ideal. Two sturdy, equal-height surfaces (like heavy chairs) can work if they truly don't move — stability comes first.

Does it work in a home gym or low light?

Run the built-in camera test first — it checks your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start. If a rep still slips through, manual counting is always one tap away.

Is my camera feed uploaded anywhere?

No. Pose detection runs entirely on your phone, in your browser. Frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded.
