## What is Perky?

Perky is a tiny potted-plant companion for your desk. It gently nudges you to rest your eyes, stand, stretch, move and sip water — and it droops a little when you sit too long, then perks right back up the moment you take a break. You look after yourself; Perky grows with you.

It's not another nagging timer. You don't take breaks for an app — you take them for a little plant that's rooting for you.

A BUDDY WITH FEELINGS
Perky reacts to your day. Move and it brightens; sit too long and it wilts. Tap it, pet it, watch it idle, blink and yawn. Little wins that actually feel good.

GENTLE, SMART REMINDERS
• Rest your eyes on a 20-20-20 rhythm
• Stand, stretch, move and hydrate on a calm cadence
• Weekend-aware and quiet during do-not-disturb
• Snooze when you're in the zone — no guilt

CLOSE YOUR RINGS
Four simple daily checkpoints and a growing streak. Small, humane goals you'll actually hit.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Perky is local-first. Your day stays on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, and no tracking.

A NEW LOOK EVERY DAY
A fresh, cosy theme each time you open it — and optional live weather drifts into the scene: rain, drifting fireflies, even a post-rain rainbow.

PERKY AI (optional)
Turn on a companion that learns your rhythm: personalised end-of-day recaps, coaching in Perky's voice, a weekly review that tunes your reminders, and a daily theme made just for you. Use it free with your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Gemini key — or with Perky's built-in managed AI as a subscription. Either way, only a tiny anonymous summary ever leaves your device — never your raw activity, never your location.

Take a breath. Then a break.
