Stuck at your desk for hours? ErgoGuard is your personal stretch coach for desk and office work - gentle reminders to stand up, move, and undo the damage of sitting all day. Long hours in a chair quietly add up: tight hips, a stiff neck, achy shoulders, and that 3 p.m. slump. ErgoGuard breaks the cycle with short, guided movement breaks built around YOUR workday - no gym, no equipment, no leaving your desk. WHY ERGOGUARD - Smart break reminders that fire on your schedule, only during your work hours and work days - Guided exercises you can do at or beside your desk in under two minutes - A live camera rep-counter that tracks your reps for you, hands-free - Streaks, daily goals, and weekly stats that make movement a habit you actually keep BUILT FOR DESK WORKERS Set your work start and end times, pick your work days, and choose how often you want to move. ErgoGuard handles the rest, nudging you at just the right moments and going quiet when you are off the clock. 7 DESK-FRIENDLY EXERCISES - Neck Stretches - release tech-neck tension - Shoulder Shrugs - melt away desk-hunch tightness - Torso Twists - wake up a stiff spine - Arm Raises - open the chest and shoulders - Calf Raises - restart circulation in your legs - Squats - energize after long sitting - Desk Push-Ups - a quick strength boost on a break COUNTS YOUR REPS FOR YOU Prop up your phone and let the camera do the counting.

Pose4Me turns the worst habit of desk life, sitting still for hours, into a rhythm of tiny, guided resets. Every hour (or whatever rhythm you choose), it taps you on the shoulder, opens your front camera, and coaches you through a 60-second stretch. An animated guide shows the movement, and on-device pose tracking draws a live skeleton over your body, checks your form, and counts your hold like a tiny coach in your pocket. EVERYTHING IS FREE All 19 guided stretches, camera coaching, history, streaks, widgets and the Apple Watch app — free for everyone, with no subscription and nothing locked. If Pose4Me helps you, there's an optional "buy me a coffee" tip jar. That's it. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your rhythm — every 30 minutes to every 4 hours • Get a gentle reminder during your active hours • Watch the animated demo, then copy the pose • The camera tracks your body and fills the ring while your form holds • Done in about a minute — back to your day MADE FOR REAL SCHEDULES Day shift, night shift, or round the clock: set any active window (10 PM–6 AM works fine), pick your days, session length, difficulty, and seated-friendly mode for desk setups. 19 GUIDED STRETCHES Neck, shoulders, back, arms and wrists, legs and hips, full body — from gentle neck releases to energizing star reaches. Every stretch has an animated movement demo and clear cues. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pose tracking runs entirely on your iPhone. No account, no analytics, no servers — camera video never leaves your device. We collect no data at all. ALSO INCLUDED • Home-screen and lock-screen widgets with your next-stretch countdown • Apple Watch app with complications • Streaks and a 14-day progress chart • Light and dark themes Your body was built to move. Pose4Me just reminds you.
