Getting started
The tutorial is a goblin fight. Prop your phone against a wall, step back until your whole body is in frame, and squat the goblin to death.
The tutorial goblin
Your instructorThe five tabs
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Home | Today: your daily goals, streak, the Daily Bounty, gathering, and your equipment at a glance. |
| Train | Earning. Fight monsters (the default) or train exercises freely. Every rep counts either way. |
| Shop | The general store: potions, the loot crate, and app time if you use the optional lock. |
| Progress | Your training log, personal bests, and progress clips. |
| You | Your character: stats, clan, inventory and crafting, settings. |
How rep counting works
GymScape watches your form through the camera using on-device pose detection: nothing is uploaded, nobody reviews footage. A rep only counts when the movement is real: full range of motion, honest posture. Half squats and nose-nowhere-near-the-floor push-ups get you nothing, which is exactly why the numbers on your character mean something.
Goals and streaks
Set daily goals for the exercises you care about. Clear all of them and your streak grows: the streak is the heartbeat of the whole game, and everything else (fights, bounties, gathering) quietly feeds those same goals while you play.
Locked apps
This one is optional. Choose apps to lock and GymScape shields them at the system level until you pay with time earned from training. Plenty of players skip it and just play the game.
