The Core Loop

One question, answered all day.

“Given the kind of work you've been doing, what is the smallest useful movement intervention right now?”

01

Set your context

Work mode, tension areas, break cadence. Takes 60 seconds.

Coding · Meetings · Writing · Admin · Mixed

02

Work, then move

A timer runs in the background. When it fires, you get a targeted prompt — not a random stretch.

45-min timer → contextual prompt → 90-sec break

03

Track your rhythm

See breaks completed, movement minutes, categories hit, and streaks. Adjust over time.

Why Move Index

Not a wellness toy. Not a workout app.

A work-performance movement layer that helps you sustain a demanding desk-heavy career with less accumulated strain.

Work-native, not workout-native

Fits the workday first. Not a gym app with a timer bolted on.

Specific beats generic

Not generic break reminders. Targeted interventions based on your strain pattern.

Research-informed

Built on published EMG studies, MET values, and biomechanics research.

Respects your flow

You choose the cadence. The system works with your schedule, not against it.

Not compliance software

This is not ergonomic box-checking. It is about staying capable and sharp through real work.

Not fitness tracking

No calorie obsession, no streak guilt, no workout identity required.
