MEET PIP. CURRENTLY EXCLUSIVE TO IPHONE DUO Intelly 8.0 introduces Pip, an expressive shower companion. On iPhone Duo, Pip fills the session view while your active time and estimated liters stay in sight. Pip and your shower essentials share a focused view designed for iPhone Duo. Pip takes a look at the time, rests during pauses and celebrates a saved Green shower. Know your shower time. Understand your water use. Make your next shower a little more mindful. Intelly helps you track showers, review estimated water use and work toward weekly Green goals. Start a session on your iPhone, and on-device sound recognition listens for running water to guide the timer and automatic pauses. YOUR SHOWER, AT A GLANCE Follow your session time, estimated liters and Green status in a clear, focused view. Review saved showers in your history and calendar, then explore statistics by period to see how your habits change. A LITTLE HELP FROM SIRI Start, pause, resume, stop and save your shower session with Siri. Ask to see your water use, open your history or suggest a weekly goal. Find supported phrases in Settings, in English and Italian. Try: “Start a shower with Intelly.” PLAN A GREEN WEEK Aim to keep each recorded shower under 9 minutes, Intelly's Green threshold. Add an optional weekly water budget or a shorter duration target. Review the criteria before saving and follow your progress from the showers you record. ADVICE YOU CAN ACT ON Choose a topic and a period to get practical guidance alongside your saved statistics. On supported devices and in supported languages, the coach can use Apple Intelligence to personalize advice. Built-in advice remains available when Apple Intelligence is unavailable. FROM YOUR WRIST Use Intelly on Apple Watch to track a shower and review your sessions on iPhone. MADE FOR EVERYDAY CHECK-INS A focused Home, clearer shower details, organized statistics and a weekly calendar help you find the numbers that matter without digging through your history. A few things to know: water use is estimated, not measured by a connected water meter. Green is Intelly's duration-based indicator, not an environmental certification. Intelly controls the tracking session, not your faucet. iPhone sound detection requires microphone permission and an active session. Siri must be enabled and may open or ask you to unlock the app. A week without recorded showers does not count as a completed goal. Start with your next shower.

Relieve Pain. Move Freely. Feel Better in 7 Minutes a Day. For years, I sat eight hours a day chasing deadlines. I ignored the ache building in my neck and shoulders — until it wasn't just an ache anymore. Sitting, standing, even sleeping got hard.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: StretchBuddy at Free against Intelly's $3.39. StretchBuddy also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (54 vs 2). Intelly's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
