Your body was not designed for eight hours in a chair. Stiff helps you survive it anyway. Stiff is a desk stretch reminder that nudges you during your actual working hours - never at 11pm - and walks you through a fix for whatever is aching. Neck, shoulders, lower back, wrists, hips, eyes. Under two minutes. No equipment, no gym, no getting changed. And Stiff, the sloth who lives in the app, will judge you the whole time. Gently. At first. WHY IT ACTUALLY STICKS Most stretch apps are a list of exercises you open once and never again. Stiff is a habit. Reminders arrive on your schedule, sessions are short enough that you have no excuse, and every stretch you finish earns XP, feeds your streak, and slowly turns Stiff from openly disappointed into something close to proud. BUILT AROUND YOUR WORKDAY • Set your work days and hours - reminders only fire when you're at your desk • Choose your rhythm: every 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes • Choose your session: one quick reset, a balanced pair, or a three-stretch flow • Tell Stiff what hurts and your sessions lean toward that area • Like and dislike stretches to shape what you get 41 DESK-FRIENDLY STRETCHES Everything is done sitting at your desk or standing next to it, with a guided timer, plain instructions and optional sound cues. Targeted sets for neck and shoulders, lower back, wrists and hands, hips and posture - plus eye-strain breaks for screen fatigue. PROGRESS THAT MOTIVATES • XP and levels - your first stretch of the day is worth the most, so showing up beats grinding • Daily streaks you won't want to break • 14 badges, from First Stretch to Ascended • Weekly goals and a full history of every session • Optional Apple Health sync STRETCH WITH YOUR TEAM Make a group for your office, your remote team or your friends, and let the leaderboard settle who actually gets out of their chair. STIFF PRO • All 41 stretches, including 15 Pro-only ones • Time-of-day aware sessions - different stretches for morning, afternoon and evening • A monthly streak freeze for the days life wins • The global leaderboard and your worldwide rank • Classic Sarcastic mode: keep the original grumpy Stiff forever FREE FOREVER 26 stretches, unlimited reminders, XP, levels, streaks, badges and groups. No ads. Ever. Stiff is a movement reminder, not medical advice. If something hurts in a way stretching shouldn't fix, please see a professional.
