Hability

Hello Product Hunt Community! 👋 I am thrilled to introduce Hability, an app built specifically for desk workers to stay active and pain-free throughout the workday. 🚶‍♂️💻 As a physiotherapist (aka physical therapist), I grew tired of hearing so many patients complain about neck and lower back pain caused by prolonged sitting and inactivity at work. In theory, the solution to this problem is simple, move more, sit less! However, in reality, this is not so easy to achieve. Work demands meant that workers often faced the same barriers preventing them from achieving this- they forget, they don't have time, or they don't know what exercises to do. That's why we created Hability—to provide a simple solution that helps people overcome these barriers, and to move more during the day, right from their desks. Hability sends timely reminders for short, effective exercises designed by expert physiotherapists, specifically targeting the muscles and joints most affected by desk work. Whether you’re in the middle of a meeting or engrossed in your tasks, these guided exercises help combat the effects of sedentary behavior, reduce pain, and improve overall posture and wellness. Hability is totally customizable to suit your schedule, your needs and your workspace. You can also track your engagement and progress in the analytics section! We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! Your support and suggestions mean everything as we continue improving Hability to help more desk workers live healthier, pain-free lives. 💪😊 Thank you for checking us out, and we hope you stay healthy and active with Hability!

Ergonomic chairs are just the start! Wellness goes beyond seating and with Hability, employees can get regular prompts to stay active, helping to reduce neck and back pain while enhancing overall well-being and productivity. @mark_chawke1 kudos to you or coming up this wellness app!

Pretty interesting at least to try to learn some god habits. Particularly now as flexible office setups become more common. Btw, how does Hability adapt to various work environments? so If I go to office 3/week I may want to set it up and see diff suggestions.

Congrats on the launch! 🚀 This sounds like a wonderful solution for desk workers! It’s great to see a focus on health and wellness in the workplace. :) What features are you most excited about in the app, and how do you envision this helping users build healthier habits over time?

Hey @mark_chawke! This sounds like a fantastic initiative, especially for those of us who are glued to our desks. I'm curious, what specific exercises are included in the app? Also, how do you plan to encourage consistent user engagement? Is there any gamification involved to make it more fun? Looking forward to seeing Hability take off on PH!

Congrats on the launch! 🚀 A wellness app focused on combating the effects of sedentary behavior is such a practical solution for desk workers. Looking forward to seeing how Hability helps users stay active and reduce pain throughout the day!

Hability is actually just what I needed! I'm experiencing serious neck and back pain thesedays. I wish I had known the app sooner :) Great app for our fellow coders especially
