Your focus timer just got a body. MoveMate: Flow pairs a Pomodoro-style focus timer with short guided stretches built for people who sit all day. Work a focus session. When it ends, stand up and move for five minutes. Repeat. The break was always there. Now it does something. HOW IT WORKS - Set your focus session — 15, 25, 45, 60 or 90 minutes - Work. A Live Activity keeps the timer on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - When it ends, pick a short routine for whatever needs it - Follow a real voice coach, not a silent animation - Earn Pomodors for every session and every completed stretch BUILT FOR DESK DAYS - Routines for neck and shoulders, lower back, shoulder blades, legs and glutes, and full body - Most take 5–15 minutes. No mat, no equipment, no changing clothes - Collections for desk workers, posture, and winding down - Filter by time, muscle group and category - Save the routines you keep coming back to VOICE COACHING IN YOUR LANGUAGE Two coaches, Kathryn and John, talk you through every exercise out loud — in English, Ukrainian, Russian, German, French, Italian, Polish and Spanish. Not subtitles. Actual voice, so you can close your eyes and follow. A HABIT THAT HOLDS - Streaks for consecutive days - Awards across days, focus hours, stretches, streaks and balance - Weekly stats and full history - Reminders timed to when you actually work — morning, all day, or evening EARN AS YOU GO Finish a focus session, earn Pomodors.
