## Description

New: Momentum coaching, a lifetime "it all adds up" total, levels and tiers, and in-app guides. Still private, on-device, and honestly measured.

DeskMode turns the low-intensity movement of a desk day into one honest number. Time how long you sit, stand, walk on a treadmill desk, or pedal an under-desk bike, and see the calories you burn ABOVE just sitting - never inflated, never guilt-tripped.

One thing, done well. Not a food logger, not a workout app. Just the four modes you actually switch between at a desk, and the honest math behind them.

HONEST, NET CALORIES
- Calories are the extra above resting - sitting is your baseline and does not pad the number. Only standing, walking and cycling add to it.
- Validated MET values (Ainsworth 2011) x your real body weight, with a plain +/-20-30% disclaimer. Better to be calibratable than fake-precise.
- Tap any figure to see a per-activity breakdown and exactly how it is worked out.

GLANCEABLE FROM ACROSS THE ROOM
- Big timer, one tap to start, one tap to flip sit to stand. A quick-switch strip keeps every mode a thumb away.
- A live speed dial for the treadmill desk and a resistance dial for the bike, so calories track your real pace.

APPLE WATCH, IN SYNC
- Start, flip, pause and stop from your wrist as one shared timer with iPhone.
- The same honest "above sitting" calories, a today summary, and a Digital Crown mode switch.

COMFORT COACHING AS YOU GO
- While a timer runs, DeskMode surfaces a short, activity-specific comfort and mobility tip - calf raises and hip openers for long standing, ankle circles for cycling - rotating every few minutes. Around 70 cues, each cited to a real source (Cornell Ergonomics, OSHA, NIOSH, ACSM, NASM, AHA). Guidance, not medical advice.

A WEEK THAT FITS
- Build named profiles ("Office" with a desk bike Mon/Wed/Fri, "Home office" Tue/Thu) that scope which modes and reminders show each day. One tap to "Use today" when plans change.
- Opt-in stand and sit nudges that offer to switch or snooze - never automatic, never naggy.

PROGRESS, WITHOUT THE PRESSURE
- Levels, ~40 collectible badges, and a GitHub-style activity heatmap.
- A no-shame streak: a quiet day is rest, not a red mark.
- Explore every chart - scrub the trends, tap the split, read exact values.

APPLE HEALTH
- Reads your latest weight for accurate calories and saves sessions as workouts. Syncs when you open the app; nothing is ever duplicated.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
- Your activity stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no ads.

Lock Screen Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and Home-Screen widgets keep today's on-feet minutes and calories a glance away.

DeskMode Pro unlocks the whole app - every mode, chart, badge, widget, the Apple Watch app and weekly profiles. Start with a 3-day free trial, then GBP 1.99/month or GBP 14.99/year. No free tier, nothing held back behind a second purchase.
