Why break up your sitting?
Steadier focus
Short movement breaks help reset attention, so you come back to work clearer instead of grinding through a slump.
Happier back & hips
Standing and stretching regularly eases the stiffness that builds up from hours in the same seated position.
Built-in hydration
A hydrate reminder is a gentle prompt to refill your glass — an easy habit that is simple to forget when you are heads-down.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I take a break from sitting?
A common guideline is to stand and move for a minute or two every 30 to 60 minutes. BounceDesk lets you pick 30, 45, or 60 minutes, or set your own interval, so you can match whatever feels sustainable for your workday.
Does the timer keep running in a background tab?
Yes. The timer keeps counting while the tab is in the background. When a break is due it plays a gentle chime and, if you allow it, shows a desktop notification so you notice even when you are working in another window.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. BounceDesk runs entirely in your browser. Your interval and reminder settings are saved locally on your own device with your browser's storage and are never sent to a server.
Is this medical advice?
No. BounceDesk is a general wellness reminder, not medical advice. The stretches are gentle and widely used, but if you have an injury or health condition, check with a qualified professional before starting.
