Tendon is a calm, focused break reminder for anyone who spends long hours at a desk. Pick a work duration, hit Start Focus, and Tendon takes it from there. When the timer flips to break, a soft chime plays and the app suggests a short stretch you can actually do at your desk โ for tired eyes, a stiff neck, sore wrists, tight shoulders, or a cranky lower back. KEY FEATURES โข Pomodoro-style timer with adjustable work (20โ90 min) and break (30โ300 sec) lengths โข Big ring countdown that shows time until your next break at a glance โข Curated library of 12 desk-friendly stretches and resets โ eyes, neck, wrist, back, shoulder, breathing, hydration โข Step-by-step guided activities, each under a minute โข "Up Next" suggestion on the home screen, so you never have to think about what to do โข Stats: track today's breaks and a 7-day chart of your consistency โข Optional gentle two-tone chime when phases switch โข 100% offline โ no accounts, no tracking, no network calls DESIGNED FOR DESK WORK Whether you code, design, write, or sit in calls all day, your body is paying for it. Tendon is here to nudge you to look away from the screen, roll your neck, breathe, and drink some water โ without nagging, without ads, without subscriptions. PRIVACY No tracking. No accounts. No analytics. Your break log lives only on your device.
