Your neck hurts. You already know why. You're going to sit here for another hour anyway. Body Break Timer is the app that actually makes you stop — with smart reminders and guided stretches that fit into your workday without breaking your flow. 【What Changes When You Actually Move】 • The tight knot in your neck starts to loosen • You stop getting that 3pm brain fog that's really just "I haven't moved in 4 hours" • Your shoulders stop living up near your ears by end of day • A 60-second stretch becomes something you look forward to, not dread 【Built for Desk Workers】 - Guided Stretches — Neck, shoulders, lower back, eyes, wrists. Exactly where it hurts. - Quick Routines — 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Fits between meetings. - Smart Reminders — Push notifications that actually work before the pain sets in - Streak Tracker — Build the habit. See your streak grow. - 30-Day History — Track how consistently you're protecting your body - Fully Offline — No internet needed. Works everywhere you work. "I'll stretch later." — You won't. That's why the reminder is there. 60 seconds now prevents 60 minutes of pain later. "I always turn off reminders after a few days." — This one has a streak. And you control exactly when reminders fire, so they don't interrupt calls or focus time. "My neck and back have been hurting for years. I don't think an app can fix that." — Chronic desk pain doesn't usually have a dramatic cause. It's accumulated damage from not moving. One minute of movement every 60-90 minutes changes what your body absorbs over a full day. Users report the pain starts to fade after a few weeks of consistent breaks. "I have ADHD and when I'm in hyperfocus, I don't notice reminders at all." — That's exactly who this is built for. The streak adds a feedback loop: one break completes, the count goes up, your brain gets the signal. Users with ADHD specifically report that the immediate streak feedback breaks the cycle where they'd normally keep snoozing. People say things like: "I have chronic neck tension from desk work. 2 weeks of these breaks and I genuinely feel the difference." "I set it for every 30 minutes. The streak keeps me from snoozing it." "I do 5 minutes between every meeting now. My afternoon energy is completely different." "Do I need to pay?" — Stretches and reminders are free. Premium adds more routines. Price shown before you commit. 【Premium Plan】 See in-app for pricing. Subscription auto-renews unless canceled 24 hours before renewal. Privacy Policy: https://body-break-prod.web.app/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://body-break-prod.web.app/terms.html Download now — your neck has been waiting long enough. 【From the Wellness Series — Related Apps】 If you're protecting your body at your desk, you might also need: - Sleep Log AI (track what's disrupting your rest) - Fast Wise (intermittent fasting tracker) - Vox Mind (decompress mentally, not just physically) Search each app name on the App Store.
