Wakeout

Wakeout solves the problem of breaks during desk work: 60-second micro-exercises designed to do during work breaks — in front of the computer, standing, seated — to reduce sedentariness and recharge mental energy.

Wakeout is an app for iOS, macOS and Apple Watch that offers micro-sessions of movement and stretching to do during work breaks or throughout the day. The idea is that short active breaks — even just 60 seconds — are more effective for productivity and physical wellbeing than no break at all. The app offers hundreds of 30-90 second exercises suitable for different contexts: exercises to do seated at a desk, standing, during a coffee break, in the office corridor. Each exercise is guided by animations and clear instructions. The reminder system configures notifications at regular intervals — every hour, every two hours — to remind you to get up and move. Integration with Apple Health and Apple Watch syncs physical activity data. It's particularly popular among knowledge workers and remote workers who spend many hours in front of the computer and want to integrate movement into their day without having to go to the gym.

For remote workers, knowledge workers and professionals who spend many hours sitting in front of the computer and want to integrate active micro-breaks into their working day.

Wakeout has a free trial to evaluate the app. The annual plan starts at $2.99 per month (around $35.99 per year) and gives access to all hundreds of exercises and features. A higher-priced monthly plan is also available. Wakeout is only available for Apple devices (iOS, macOS, Apple Watch).
