One set, by feel.

No phone, no account, no tapping the screen. Every step works by feel, with the buttons your watch already has; on a touchscreen watch, a swipe replaces UP/DOWN.

  1. START

    Pick an exercise

    Push-ups, sit-ups or squats. Counting starts the moment you choose.

  2. Move

    A short vibration confirms each rep. Live heart rate and a calorie estimate stay on screen.

  3. START

    Finish

    The watch shows the count it detected, ready for review.

  4. UPDOWN

    Adjust

    If the count is off, nudge it up or down. On a touchscreen watch, swipe instead.

  5. START

    Save

    Your count is banked. XP, rank and streak update, with a double buzz when a goal falls.

You have the final say.

Counting depends on how you wear the watch and how you move, so the number can be off, especially if your arm moves before or after the set. Nothing is saved until you’ve seen it.

HeroSet learns from the counts you save, so counting adapts to how you move.

Show up, rank up.

2 XP for every rep you save, up to 100 reps per exercise a day: 600 XP on a full day. Meet your daily goal on all three to keep your streak alive. Counts reset at local midnight; XP and rank never do.

Ranks reached doing the full 100 / 100 / 100 every day. Rank reflects the reps you do, not the goal you pick.

Nothing leaves your watch.

No account
Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log in to.
No internet
No analytics, no ads, no tracking. The app has no network access at all.
No syncing
HeroSet doesn’t record activities or send anything to Garmin Connect.
Two permissions
Your watch’s sensors: motion to count reps, heart rate to show it. And the one the Connect IQ Store lists as “Communication & Data Transmission”: on watches with Connect IQ 4.2 or later, it hands today’s progress to our HeroFace watch face on the same watch. Nothing is sent anywhere.
A rating, sometimes
On watches that support it, HeroSet may ask whether you’d rate it in the Connect IQ Store: after you save a set, on the third or later day you have saved one, at most once in 30 days and never when the app opens. The watch asks the store first; HeroSet adds none of your data.
