In plain words

Pushup Alarm is a React-based app that uses your device's webcam to count pushups as an alternative to traditional alarms. Instead of simply dismissing an alarm, users must complete a set number of pushups to turn it off, combining fitness activity with waking up. The app is designed for people who struggle with oversleeping and want to establish a healthy morning routine through physical exercise.
