Sitting for hours is the new smoking. But when you're working at a desk, breaks are easy to forget. That's where DeskMonkey comes in. DeskMonkey gently taps you on the shoulder at your chosen interval and suggests a quick movement exercise – right at your desk or between meetings. Stand up, stretch, knock out a few squats, take the stairs. Two minutes is enough. WHAT DESKMONKEY DOES • Reminds you at your custom interval (15 – 120 min) • Suggests fitting mini-exercises – Walk, Squats, Stretching & more • Respects your working hours (e.g. only 9 AM – 6 PM) • Tracks your streak: how many days in a row have you moved? • Works fully offline. No account, no data collection. DESKMONKEY PRO – ONE-TIME $1.99 Unlock everything with a one-time purchase: • 15+ exercises instead of 3 (Push-ups, Plank, Lunges, breathing pauses…) • Any interval (15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 min) • Weekly stats & advanced streaks • No subscriptions, no recurring charges WHO IS THIS FOR? • Office workers, home-office pros, remote teams • Developers, designers, writers – anyone glued to their chair • People with walking pads, standing desks, or just tired of back pain YOUR DATA We collect nothing. All settings stay on your iPhone. No trackers, no ads, no cloud. Get DeskMonkey, do your first squat, and send your office chair into retirement.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: HWX Digital Studio at 3 against DeskMonkey's 1. HWX Digital Studio also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
