How it works
A short break that feels native to your desktop.
MoveBuddy does not try to turn your day into a complicated routine. It simply breaks up long sitting stretches with a clear, friendly cue you can complete quickly.
Transparent overlay
The character appears above your screen without opening a heavy app or hiding your work.
Local progress
Reps, streaks, and weekly activity stay on your Mac. No accounts, ads, or external analytics.
Buddy in motion
A visual cue your body understands fast.
The idea is simple: see the movement, follow it at your pace, and return to work with less stiffness. Your buddy does not judge, it just gets you out of chair mode.
