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.

Puffree helps you quit vaping or smoking. Completely free, no ads, no account. Vape, e-cigarette or cigarettes: Puffree counts your puffs, gets you through every craving and shows you what your body has already achieved. Most apps in this category cost money. Puffree doesn't, and that won't change. Fighting an addiction shouldn't cost you anything. If the app helps you, you can chip in. But you never have to. WHAT PUFFREE DOES - A living timeline: watch in real time what your body is pulling off. 22 stages from the first 20 minutes to the one-year mark, carefully researched. No made-up numbers. - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: your progress at a glance, count puffs without opening the app. - Siri and widget button: beat a craving? Say it or tap it, done. - Reduce first, then quit: if cold turkey isn't for you, count your puffs and the app lowers your daily limit in steps until your quit day. - Plan your quit day: pick a date and get ready for it. - Craving SOS: a craving only lasts a few minutes. A guided breathing exercise with strong haptics or two minutes of movement get you through it, with your personal reason to quit right there when you need it. - Craving journal and peak hours: one tap after each craving. The app shows you when and why it gets hard. - Relapse without shame: most people need several attempts. You never lose your overall progress, and the app helps you spot your triggers. - Your plant grows: from seed to full bloom after one year. - Knowledge: eight short articles on withdrawal, sleep, exercise, weight and relapse. Honest, no fluff. - Money saved, savings goal, cravings beaten, longest streak: your numbers, always visible. - Backup: export your data and restore it on a new iPhone. - Milestone notifications during the critical first days. - Dark mode for the night, because cravings don't keep office hours.
