Fitster

Fitster is a fantastic macOS app that helps you keep your health in check while you work. If you're like most of us, you spend hours sitting at a desk, staring at a screen. This can lead to all sorts of problems like back pain, heart issues, and even eye strain. That's where Fitster comes in!

Why You Need Fitster

This app is designed to boost both your health and productivity by reminding you to take short breaks. It gently nudges you to get up and do some quick exercises that are perfect for the office.

How Fitster Works

Once you install Fitster, it hangs out in your status bar menu. It has a countdown timer that tells you when it's time for your next workout session. When the timer hits zero, you'll get a friendly notification, and then it shows up with exercise instructions right on your desktop!

Customizing Your Breaks

The default timer is set to go off every 30 minutes, but don't worry—you can totally change that! Just head over to the Fitster Settings panel and pick any interval from 40 to 90 minutes. The workouts are always about 2 minutes long, so they fit easily into your day.

Select Your Exercises

You can also personalize your workout sessions through the Fitster Preferences window. Choose from over 30 different exercises targeting various muscle groups or just simple stretches to get energized!

Smart Features

If you're not using your keyboard or mouse for a while, Fitster will automatically reset its timer so you're not interrupted when you're focused on work. Plus, if life gets busy and you need more time before starting an exercise session, you can postpone it! And if you'd like something fresh? You can even change the trainer shown in the illustrations.

Your Office Companion

In short, Fitster is a small yet powerful tool that encourages regular breaks throughout your day. With its help, you'll find it easier to stay active and feel good while working at your desk!
