Sit better. Focus longer. Nothing leaves your device. SitFocus is a Pomodoro focus timer with a built-in posture coach. While you work, your camera quietly checks whether you're slouching — and nudges you before your back complains. Private by design All posture detection runs on your device using Apple's Vision framework Camera frames are analyzed in memory and instantly discarded — never recorded, never stored, never uploaded No video, no photos, no biometric data ever leaves your device Only your posture score (a percentage) is saved to your account A coach, not an alarm Bad posture tints your timer ring the moment it's detected Only after a few seconds of actually staying slouched do you get a sound and a reminder — leaning over to reach for your coffee never sets it off Set the warning interval yourself, or turn the sound and notification off entirely for visual-only coaching Calibrate once — 10 seconds of sitting well — and alerts adapt to your body, desk, and camera angle Everything you need to focus Pomodoro sessions with breaks, presets, and Live Activities Tasks with subtasks, recurring tasks, and widgets Statistics: focus time, session counts, and your 30-day posture trend Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac Your posture data is a single number. Your camera footage is nobody's business — including ours. SitFocus Pro Try SitFocus free for ten minutes of focus.

Sitting is the easiest habit to fall into and the hardest to notice. Hourly Move gives you one glance and one job: stand up and move — on the schedule you set. REMINDERS YOU WON'T TUNE OUT Most reminder apps fail for one reason: your brain learns the pattern and starts ignoring it. Turn on anti-habituation jitter and Hourly Move shifts each reminder by a small, random few minutes every day — same schedule, never the same rhythm — so it stays noticeable instead of fading into the background. It's free, and it's the whole point. ANY INTERVAL — DOWN TO EVERY 5 MINUTES Most reminder apps stop at "hourly". Hourly Move lets you set a repeating alert at any interval — every 5 or 10 minutes, every 25, every 90, every 2 hours. Great for stand-up and stretch breaks, eye-rest and posture checks, hydration, medication, or Pomodoro-style focus and break cycles. YOUR HOURS, YOUR RULES Set an active window (say 9:00–17:00), pick your interval, and keep lunch quiet with skip windows. Reminders fire inside your window and nowhere else. WEEKDAYS ≠ WEEKENDS Create separate profiles — Workdays, Weekend, Study — each with its own days, hours, pace, and sound. They switch automatically with your week. THE DAY RING Home is a true 24-hour dial: your active window drawn at its real clock position, skip windows dimmed, the next reminder glowing, a live countdown underneath. One glance tells you what's next. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN, HOME SCREEN, AND SIRI Add the Day Ring as a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget so your next break is always in view. Turn on the Live Activity to watch the countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Pause or resume from a Control Center toggle, or just say "Hey Siri, pause my reminders" — and ask Siri when your next one is. SEE YOURSELF MOVE History counts every break — done, snoozed, or missed — by day, week, month, and year. Watch the habit build. RELIABLE, NOT SPAMMY Time-sensitive notifications arrive on the minute you scheduled. Pause for an hour, skip past lunch, or pause everything from one switch when you need quiet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics. No internet access at all — your settings and history never leave your iPhone. Back up to a file you control, restore anytime. MAKE IT YOURS Five accent themes (Sunrise, Ocean, Forest, Blossom, Midnight), bundled reminder tones or import your own, custom reminder messages, full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support, and reduced-motion respect throughout. Stand up. Stretch. Every hour. Your back will thank you.
