Spend 30 minutes a day in a deep squat, one short session at a time. ThirtyThirty is a simple deep squat timer and habit tracker for the 30/30 squat challenge: 30 minutes a day, for 30 days. Your minutes don't have to happen all at once. Squat while the coffee brews, during a phone call or on a screen break. Every second counts toward today's goal. HOW IT WORKS • Tap Start and settle into a comfortable deep squat • Tap Stop when you stand up; the session is saved • Repeat through the day until you reach your goal • Watch Day 1 turn into Day 30 FEATURES • One-tap deep squat timer with a minute ring • Daily goal of 30 minutes, adjustable from 5 to 180 • Notification when you reach your goal, plus an optional reminder every 5 minutes while the timer runs • Live timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Add time you squatted without the timer, and edit or delete any session • Day counter for your 30-day challenge and a streak that keeps you going • Illustrated guide with simple deep squat cues • Light and dark mode THIRTYTHIRTY PRO See your whole challenge: • 30-day map of every day in your challenge • Calendar with your complete session history • Weekly rhythm chart and long-term totals • Achievements for streaks and total hours Choose monthly, yearly or lifetime access as an in-app purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up. Your sessions are stored on your device, and ThirtyThirty does not collect your data. WHY THE DEEP SQUAT? Hours of sitting at a desk, in the car or on the sofa can leave your hips and ankles feeling stiff. Resting in a deep squat, known in yoga as malasana or garland pose, is a simple, equipment-free way to break up sitting and spend time on comfortable hip and ankle mobility. Squat only as deep as is comfortable, put something under your heels if you need support, and stand up if you feel pain. If you have an injury or a medical condition, talk to a qualified healthcare professional before you start.
