Sat all day and feel it in your neck, back and hips? Desk Stretches turns "I should stretch" into a 4-minute guided break you actually take. Pick a routine, press play, and follow one clear move at a time — a countdown ring and a simple line-art pose show exactly what to do and for how long. No accounts, no video buffering, no 45-minute classes. Three focused routines of 7 moves each (20-60 seconds per move), built for the moments that matter: waking up, resetting after a long sitting session, and winding down before bed. The timer keeps your screen awake, pauses when you step away, and never fast-forwards through moves you didn't do. WHAT YOU GET • A Desk Reset that undoes hours of sitting in about 4 minutes — wrists, neck, spine and eyes, all doable in office clothes • A Morning Energizer that gets your blood moving before your first coffee • An Evening Wind-Down with floor poses that ease your back before sleep • A day streak that grows every day you finish a routine — miss a day and it resets, so opening the app becomes automatic • Body-part focus sessions: stiff shoulders today? Filter the move library to shoulders and run just those moves • A custom routine builder — pick any moves, set 10-180 seconds each, reorder, save PERFECT FOR • Desk workers whose neck and shoulders are tight by 3 pm • Remote workers who go from bed to laptop without moving • Anyone told by a physio "you should stretch more" who never sticks with it • Restless sleepers who need to unwind their back before bed WHY NOT JUST FOLLOW A VIDEO? A video can't see your clock. You skip around, lose your place, and watch ads between poses. Desk Stretches gives every move its own timer, advances automatically, and logs the session when you finish — so a stretch break takes 4 minutes, not 20 minutes of scrolling for the right video. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your session history and custom routines live only on your iPhone. No account, no sign-in, nothing leaves your device. The daily reminder is a local notification. FULL ACCESS Desk Stretches Pro is what runs the app — a purchase is required once setup is done, and it unlocks everything: all three guided routines, body-part focus sessions from the full move library, the custom routine builder and your complete session history. Choose a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a lifetime one-time purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you commit; subscriptions can be cancelled anytime in Settings. Your neck already knows it needs this. Download Desk Stretches and take your first 4-minute break today.
