BeastieThe squat counter
that checks your depth
Anyone can count to thirty. The question is how many of those thirty were squats. Beastie watches your knee angle through the phone camera and banks a rep only when you actually reach depth and stand it back up — quarter squats are called out, not counted.
If it’s not sure, it doesn’t count.

Depth is the whole game.
A squat that stops halfway is a knee bend. The camera draws the line and holds you to it — kindly, out loud, while you can still do something about it.
Knees past the threshold
The rep banks when your knee angle closes past depth and you stand back to tall. The live skeleton turns the moment it happens, so you never wonder whether one counted.
Torso staying honest
Folding the chest over your knees shortens the rep without the legs doing the work. When the torso pitches too far, the overlay flags it mid-rep and Beastie says so.
Nothing to tap, nothing to wear
Prop the phone at knee height an arm’s length back. Framing is checked before the set starts; the count is huge and spoken out loud, because you’re six feet away.
Solo counts. Duels settle.
On a quiet day it’s an honest solo counter — your squat PR and your streak move, and streaks pause rather than break when life happens. When you want stakes, call someone out: pick squats, set a number, send the link. They don’t need an account to accept, and both phones referee their own side. Beastie counts push-ups and jumping jacks the same way — three moves, counted properly, with more coming as they pass the same bar.
Before your first set
How does a squat counter app work without a wearable?
Beastie tracks points on your body through the phone camera, on the phone itself. For squats it watches the knee angle: drop to depth and stand back up, and the rep banks. Stop short and it doesn’t — you’ll see the limbs flag orange while you can still fix it.
Do quarter squats count?
No, and that’s the point. A squat counts when the knees close past the depth threshold. Shallow reps are watched and called out, but they never go on the board — the number at the end is one you can defend.
Where do I put the phone for squats?
Lean it against something solid, roughly knee height, far enough back that your whole body stays in frame standing and at the bottom. Beastie checks your framing before the set starts and won’t count until it can actually see you.
Beastie is a general fitness product, not medical advice. Form feedback is about scoring reps fairly, not a health assessment.
How many of them reach depth?
One honest set is all it takes to find out. Beastie counts the ones that get there and says so out loud when they don’t — then hands you a number you can actually defend in an argument.
