Drill Drop: exercise reminders that fit your day. A free offline app for iPhone. Pick a daily protocol for sitting, standing, strength, or recovery, set quiet hours, and get short movement reminders when you actually have time. Miss a burst? It catches up automatically. 100% offline. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. All data stays on your device. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a protocol — desk days, on your feet, tiny strength, beginners, runners, evenings, and more. 2. Set quiet hours — sleep, commute, deep work. We only nudge you when you’re available. 3. Get short reminders — daily totals split into small bursts. Miss one and Drill Drop schedules a catch-up later. WHAT YOU GET • Ready-made protocols you can assign by weekday • Quiet hours that stay quiet • Smart exercise reminders across your free time • Automatic catch-up when you miss a burst • Favorites and a movement library • Optional Pro: create your own custom protocol (one-time unlock — no subscription) WHO IT’S FOR Desk days, shift work, runners who skip the boring mobility, and anyone who doesn’t need another gym program — just movement that fits around the life you already have. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No network required for core use. Offline is the product, not a setting. Drill Drop does not provide medical advice. You’re responsible for choosing movement that’s right for you.
