DeskCare

3 PM hits. Neck like concrete. You've been coding for 6 hours straight and your shoulders are climbing toward your ears. DeskCare opens with one tap — pick where it hurts, get a 2-3 minute video, done at your chair. No mat. No changing. WHY DESKCARE - Built for people who sit 10 hours a day. Not gym people. Not yoga retreat people. Desk people. - Tap "neck" or "eyes" or "lower back" — get a routine matched to that exact zone, in 2-3 minutes. - All exercises done sitting, in your chair, with your clothes on. Open-office discreet. - Specialized programs for sciatica and carpal tunnel — not just "10 stretches every office worker should know." WHAT YOU GET - Body-part targeting — Neck, upper back, lower back, shoulders, eyes, wrists, hips. Pick the zone, get the routine. - 2-3 minute video micro-routines — Professional instructor, plain background, no music drama. Watch and follow. - Eye exercises (the 20-20-20 rule + eye yoga) — Most stretching apps ignore eye strain. We don't. CVS affects 69-94% of screen workers. - Sciatica program with phases — Acute → Recovery → Maintenance. Validated with PT oversight. Desk-friendly progressions, not floor-mat clinical. - Carpal tunnel and wrist routines — For coders, designers, writers — anyone whose hands live on a keyboard. - Smart reminders that respect flow state — DnD-aware, calendar-context. Suggests "5 min before your next meeting," not mid-standup. - Posture tracking — Day-by-day pain delta. See the line trend down. - Streak with grace day — Miss a day, you don't lose everything. Compassionate gamification. NO MAT. NO GYM. NO CHANGING. This is the whole point. Every routine is sitting-only, on-screen-instructed, ≤3 minutes. If a routine needs a mat or floor space, it's not in DeskCare. We're the app that fits between your standup and your 3 PM. THE SCIENCE - 80% of office workers experience neck (58.6%), back (52.5%), or eye strain (69-94%) from prolonged sitting (peer-reviewed prevalence data, MSK research 2020-2024). - Micro-movement every 30-60 minutes outperforms one long workout for desk-induced musculoskeletal pain (occupational health consensus). - Routines are vetted by physical therapists. Sciatica program validated with PT oversight before public launch. NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR MEDICAL CARE DeskCare is daily wellness micro-movement, not diagnosis or treatment. If you have sharp, radiating, or worsening pain — see a doctor or licensed PT. We're the in-between, not the medical care itself. WHO IT'S FOR - Software developers who code 10 hours and wonder why their neck feels like concrete. - Designers and writers whose wrists are starting to click. - Hybrid office workers who can't roll out a mat at 2 PM. - Senior managers managing sciatica without surgery. - Anyone who's tried YouTube stretches and bounced because nothing was targeted to their zone. PRICING - Free forever: 3 routines/day, 2 body zones (neck + back), 1 eye exercise, basic reminders, streak counter. - 7-day free trial of Pro, then: - Pro Monthly $4.99 (one coffee) - Pro Annual $29.99 (≈$2.50/mo, 50% off) - Sciatica add-on +$2.99/mo - Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. You sit 10 hours a day. You can spare 2 minutes. Tap where it hurts. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
