Sitting all day is silently wrecking your body. Stiff neck, tight shoulders, low back pain, tired eyes — you know the feeling. PauseFit helps you break the cycle with intentional movement breaks woven into your workday. Set your work hours, choose how often you want to move, and PauseFit handles the rest. When it's time, you get a gentle reminder with a guided exercise — stretch, breathe, strengthen, or simply reset your posture. Each break takes 30 seconds to 5 minutes. No gym required. No equipment needed. SMART BREAK SCHEDULING Configure your break intervals to match your workflow. Set your work hours, skip lunch automatically, and let PauseFit calculate the perfect rhythm. A beautiful countdown ring shows exactly when your next break arrives. BUILD YOUR ROUTINE Combine exercises and a schedule into a routine that fits your day. Choose from curated presets or build your own from scratch. One active routine runs at a time — simple, focused, effective. EXERCISE LIBRARY Browse a curated bank of exercises targeting neck, shoulders, back, wrists, legs, and eyes. Each exercise includes clear instructions, duration, intensity level, and body-part targeting. Add your own custom exercises too. BREAK NEGOTIATION In the middle of something? Postpone your break by 5, 15, or 30 minutes. Swap to a quicker exercise. Or activate Busy Mode to pause reminders for 1 to 8 hours. PauseFit adapts to your day, not the other way around. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your completed sessions, streaks, and weekly activity at a glance. Track your completion rate over time and watch your consistency grow. PauseFit also tracks how often you negotiate breaks — so you can stay honest with yourself. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR PauseFit follows a "metabolic stillness" design philosophy — warm minimalism, generous space, and calm typography. The app feels like a deep breath, not another notification fighting for your attention. FEATURES • Customizable break intervals and work hours • Guided exercises: stretching, strength, posture, breathing • Curated exercise bank with body-part targeting • AI routine generation from natural language prompts • Full-screen exercise timer with play/pause/skip • Break negotiation: postpone, swap, or go busy • Daily, weekly, and lifetime statistics • Streak tracking and completion rates • Dark mode and light mode • English and French localization • Haptic feedback on interactions • No account required — works offline WHO IT'S FOR Remote workers, office workers, developers, designers, writers — anyone who spends hours at a desk and wants to feel better at the end of the day.
