WorkZen: Shichen Wellness

12 ancient time blocks tuned to your real sunrise. Desk stretches, eye care, water & sit reminders — timed to your body's natural rhythm, not a fixed clock.

WorkZen is the only desk-wellness app that follows the real sun.

Most wellness apps remind you on a fixed clock. WorkZen follows the 2,000-year-old Chinese Shichen (时辰) system — twelve two-hour periods mapped to your body's natural energy cycle — and adjusts them to your actual local sunrise and sunset using GPS. Your morning wellness tip fires when the sun rises where you live, not when a server says so.

WHY SHICHEN WORKS Each two-hour block corresponds to a specific meridian and organ system in traditional Chinese medicine. Modern chronobiology now confirms the same peaks: cortisol at dawn, digestion mid-morning, alertness before noon, recovery at dusk. WorkZen bridges both — every tip includes both the TCM principle and the modern science behind it.

WHAT YOU GET • Shichen Rhythm — 12 time blocks, each with tailored wellness advice, "do" and "avoid" lists, and a 3-minute desk practice. Meridian-based, sun-adjusted. • Smart Sit Reminder — manual or auto mode. Auto mode follows your work schedule, fires at the right interval, gives you a 5-minute movement window, then restarts. • Water Tracking — log water, coffee, tea, juice separately. Daily goal, preset volumes, 7-day trend. • Eye Care — four modes: far gaze, blink, eyes-closed, eye exercises. 20-20-20 plus advanced eye yoga. • Nap Reminder — workday auto reminder, 30/45/60/90 min options, skip-or-snooze. • Relief Library — three categories: Quick Relief (acute stiffness), Stress Relief (breathing & grounding), Daily Relief (micro-movements). Each with step-by-step voice guidance in Chinese and English.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Real solar time, not fixed hours — the only app that does this • TCM + modern science on every tip — not superstition, not generic • Fully offline — all data stays on your device, no account, no server • Bilingual English & Chinese, switchable in-app • Designed in a warm, calm Eastern aesthetic — not another clinical blue dashboard

WHO IT'S FOR • Desk workers and remote professionals who want more than a timer • People curious about Chinese wellness but skeptical of vague advice • Anyone whose back, eyes, and energy crash by 3 PM • Students and night-shift workers whose "day" doesn't match the clock
