Sergeant Pomodo

The man on your screen who yells "On your feet!" every 25 minutes

When your focus phase ends, your screen locks and the Sergeant calls. No way to the next session until you finish your reps.

Why short squat breaks work The research behind movement snacks

The risks of prolonged sitting and the benefits of short bursts of physical activity are well-documented by public health bodies and peer-reviewed studies.

Risks of prolonged sitting

The WHO's 2020 Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines explicitly list "reducing sedentary time" as an independent recommendation. People who sit 10+ hours a day have roughly 2x the cardiovascular disease risk compared to those who sit less than 4 hours, per multiple studies.

Why lower-body movement helps

Activating large lower-body muscles improves circulation, boosts metabolism, and increases cerebral blood flow. Even a few squats every 30 minutes have measurable benefits, according to the research.

This app builds on that evidence: 25-minute focus blocks paired with short movement breaks, designed as a practical rhythm to reduce sedentary risk.
