I spend 8+ hours a day at my desk, and like many people, I've dealt with back pain, stiffness, and posture issues (I still do sometimes). The biggest thing that helped was simply moving regularly and doing a few stretches throughout the day. The hard part wasn't knowing it was good for me... it was remembering to move before pain reminded me, and knowing what stretches to do. So I built Nikomo. It reminds me to stand based on my laptop activity, suggests personalized stretches, Show my progress overtime, and works without installing anything on my work computer. Whether you use Nikomo or something else, please move more throughout the day. I'd love your feedback. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏

The laptop activity tracking feels surprisingly accurate, picking up when I'm actually working versus just leaving tabs open. The stretch suggestions are quick enough that I don't talk myself out of doing them.

 I'm so glad that it is helpful within your workflow. Please let me know however I can make it better for you
Thanks for trying it out!

The stretch recommendations actually feel tailored, not just generic "touch your toes" stuff. Surprised how well it picks up when I'm actually working versus just idling.

 Glad you liked the stretches. They will updated weekly based on progress and pain areas. Please let me know however I can make it better for you
Thank you for checking it out! It means alot

The fact that it works without needing an install is such a smart call for office setups where you can't download random stuff onto your work laptop. Also love that the reminders tie into actual laptop activity instead of just timer-based nudges, feels way less annoying that way.

 Yeah... I'm always hesitant to download anything on my work laptop too. Thanks so much fro trying it out. Please let me know however I can make it better for you:

Honestly the fact that it just runs in the browser without installing anything is huge for my work laptop. Tried it for a few hours and the stretch reminders actually caught me slouching, kind of impressed.

 I'm really happy to hear that. Making it work right in the browser was also important to me, and it's awesome to hear the reminders were actually useful. Please share your feedback if you see this can work better for your workflow:
Thanks again
