Hello and welcome to Relaxo—your intelligent Apple Watch companion for healthier sitting habits. ▶ WHAT IS RELAXO Relaxo is a smart Sedentary Reminder app for Apple Watch that goes beyond simple timers. Instead of interrupting at fixed intervals, Relaxo senses your activity—whether sitting, walking, or resting—and only reminds you when you truly need to move. When prolonged sitting is detected, Relaxo gently reminds you to stand and move around. During active periods or rest, it stays silent. This thoughtful approach builds healthier habits without disrupting your natural flow. ▶ HOW RELAXO HELPS YOU ◎ WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Relaxo connects with Apple Health to automatically track when you're sitting or moving. No manual entry needed—just open the app and see your sitting time and patterns. ◎ SMART ACTIVITY DETECTION When you're exercising, walking around, or intentionally resting, Relaxo stays quiet—only gently reminding you when you've truly been sitting too long, respecting both your focused moments and well-deserved breaks. ◎ RELIABLE REMINDERS Set reminders for every 30, 45, 60 minutes (up to 120 minutes). If you miss a reminder, Relaxo will keep gently reminding you until you actually get up and move. ◎ Short on time or space? Relaxo offers 2–5 minute guided sessions with 130+ movements across 7 key body areas help relieve tension in the shoulders, back, and neck. ◎ REAL MOVEMENT BREAKS Pick a 2-5 minute break that matches your energy level: ▷ Easy: Quick stretch ▷ Standard: Gentle moves ▷ Active: Deep relax Actually refresh your body—not just another checkbox to tick. ◎ Sitting & Relaxo Summary Today’s data is shown with charts and details, giving you a quick overview of your day. ▶ WHY WE CREATED RELAXO Prolonged sitting silently damages health—reducing blood flow, slowing metabolism, and causing chronic stiffness. While Apple Watch has a "Stand Reminder," it has key limitations: ◎ Fixed timing: Only alerts at the 50th minute with no follow-up ◎ Easily fooled: Brief standing or arm movements count as "complete" ◎ Too minimal: Research shows we need more than 2 minutes of movement Many users believe they're protecting their health by "Stand goal completed," yet remain sedentary most of the day. Relaxo was built to be smarter—genuinely helping you break harmful sitting patterns. ▶ OUR BELIEF Reminders should be helpful companions, not annoying interruptions. Relaxo helps you balance productivity and health—because both matter. ▶ COMING SOON We're constantly improving Relaxo with these upcoming features: ◎ Detailed daily timeline: See exactly when you sat and moved throughout your day ◎ Apple Watch Complications: See your sitting status right on your watch face ◎ Sedentary Trends: Charts showing your improvement over weeks and months ◎ and More… ▶ PRICING Relaxo is free to download with basic features.
