About

Sit less. Move more. Recess requires a subscription to use. Start with a 7-day free trial, then a yearly subscription. Cancel anytime. You already know sitting all day isn't great for you, but willpower alone rarely breaks the habit. Recess makes movement the path of least resistance. Every so often, during the hours you choose, Recess quietly pauses the apps that keep you glued to your seat. To open them again, you stand up and do a short set of a simple exercise, squats, sit-to-stands, pushups, and more, counted automatically by your camera, entirely on your device. Then you're back, a little less sedentary than a minute ago. It's built on a simple, research-backed idea: breaking up long stretches of sitting with brief, frequent movement does more for your energy, focus, and long-term health than a single workout can undo. How it works • Pick the apps worth pausing, your break rhythm, and the hours and days it runs • When a break comes, your chosen apps go quiet • Stand up and do a few reps, and the camera counts them for you • Move, and you're back to what you were doing Why you'll keep it • A gentle nudge, not a lecture. No shame, no streaks to guilt you • The camera never records or saves anything; rep detection happens on your device • Your motion data stays on your phone • Your settings follow you to a new phone • Choose your own exercises and how often you move Recess Premium Every feature described above is part of Recess Premium, and a subscription is required to use the app. There is no free version. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial, then a yearly subscription at the price shown on this page and in the app. Cancel anytime. Move a little, often. Your body, and your afternoon focus, will thank you. *** Recess Premium is an auto-renewing yearly subscription. After a 7-day free trial, it renews annually at the price shown on this page and in the app unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

What's New in Recess

1.0.5

August 4, 2026

Your movement, kept. New: a screen that counts everything you have done. Total reps, total breaks, which exercises you actually choose, and a month by month record that never resets. That record now follows your account. New phone, fresh install, and your count comes back with you. You can also see what Recess does before creating an account. Setup comes first now, and we ask who you are at the end of it rather than the start. Also in this version: - If breaks have not been happening, Recess suggests why, and what to change - Skipped and unfinished breaks are counted too, so the picture is honest - Tapping a reminder opens your movement screen instead of the home screen - The widget names the day of your next break instead of counting down to it - Pausing a whole category now shows how many apps that actually covers
