ExplOdin turns overwhelm into clarity. It's a warm, playful wellness companion for anyone who freezes on decisions or feels their anxiety spike when choices pile up — a way to steady yourself in the moment and think a choice all the way through. MEET YOUR MOOD-ORB A living companion that mirrors how you feel — it puffs up and "explodes" when you're overwhelmed, then breathes and settles as you work through things. Watching it calm down is oddly satisfying, and it makes progress feel real. STEADY YOURSELF IN THE MOMENT When stress spikes, tap one button for fast, evidence-based relief — physiological sighs, box breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, muscle release, and more. A simple 0–100 stress gauge (your own self-rating) shows it easing. THINK THE CHOICE THROUGH Break any hard decision down with clear, guided frameworks — a weighted matrix, pros & cons, impact vs effort, values fit, and 10-10-10. ExplOdin does honest arithmetic on the weights and scores you set to surface a Clarity Score — you can always see exactly why, and the decision is always yours. LEARN FROM WHAT HAPPENS Log how a decision actually turned out, spot your patterns over time, and build real confidence. Gentle streaks and milestones keep it encouraging, never shaming. A LITTLE AI HELP WITH WORDS (never with the decision) Stuck at a blank page or a spiraling thought? Optional "Untangle" prompts suggest options, reframe a worry into one kind next step, or help you reflect — it only ever helps you find words; it never scores or makes your choice. EXPLODIN PRO (optional subscription) The relief tools and core decision loop are always free. Pro unlocks the Values and 10-10-10 frameworks, unlimited decisions and criteria, full history, stress-pattern insights, unlimited AI, and extra orb looks. - Monthly ($6.99) or annual ($39.99), with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in Settings ExplOdin is a wellness and decision-support tool, not therapy, and it does not provide medical, mental-health, or crisis care.

DeskRevive turns the dead minutes of a desk day into the movement your body has been asking for. No gym, no changing clothes, no 45-minute plan you will abandon by Thursday - one to three minutes, at your desk, when it actually helps. It is made for people who sit at a desk most of the day and want to move more without stopping work. Unlike a workout app, it gives you one short reset for right now, not a plan to keep up with. ONE MOVE, RIGHT NOW The Detox Coach reads the time of day, the area that has been bothering you most, how many minutes you have and what you already did, then hands you the single best reset - and tells you why that one. WATCH THE SITTING LOAD EASE A live 0-100 gauge builds while you sit still and eases every time you move, so the cost of a long stretch at the desk stops being invisible. 37 MOVEMENTS, 13 SEQUENCES Filter by body area, duration, intensity, and whether you are sitting or standing. Or start a ready-made sequence: Lower-Back Relief, Neck Reset, Wrist Saver, Afternoon Energy. Every move runs in a guided player with a countdown, a one-line cue, form tips, a rep counter where it makes sense, and optional voice guidance so you never have to read while you move. A 15-SECOND CHECK-IN THAT PAYS OFF Tap a body map for neck, shoulders, back, wrists, hips or eyes, rate your energy, and your trends build from there - pain by region, energy, a 28-day movement heatmap, forgiving streaks and earned milestones. FIX THE DESK, NOT JUST THE BODY The ergonomic desk audit walks eight setup points - screen height and distance, elbow and knee angles, wrists, feet, lumbar support and glare - and scores it 0-100 with the specific fix for whatever failed. Free, always. BREAKS THAT SCHEDULE THEMSELVES Set your work hours and an interval; the app plans the day's breaks and counts down to the next one, with reminders on your device. DESKREVIVE PRO (optional subscription) - The pain vs movement correlation - The complete library, targeted sequences and Reset & Relax routines - A weekly AI coach note written from your own numbers - Shareable weekly and 30-day progress reports - Monthly 6.99 USD or annual 39.99 USD, both starting with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; it auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in Settings Your daily resets, the movement library basics, the check-in and the ergonomic audit stay free. DeskRevive is a general wellness and movement app. It is not medical advice, it does not diagnose anything, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional.
