Dead Time: Exercise Snacks
5 min workouts for any wait
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Kettle on? Code compiling? Ad break? That's a workout now. 2-5 minute exercise snacks sized to real waits, with streak shields so one bad day never kills your run.
Turn the time you're already losing into the workout you keep skipping.
Your day is full of dead time: the kettle boiling, code compiling, the microwave spinning, ad breaks, the minutes before a meeting. Dead Time turns every one of them into a 2-5 minute bodyweight workout, sized to exactly that gap. No gym. No gear. No excuses left.
HOW IT WORKS
- Tap your wait: kettle (3:00), microwave (2:00), ad break (4:00) and more
- Get a plan built for that exact window, with work and rest intervals
- Swap any move, remove what you hate, or let AI Smart Pick target the muscles you've been skipping
- Follow big-type coaching with form photos, sound themes, and a voice coach
BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING
- Streaks with a safety net: every 7 days you show up banks a shield that covers one missed day
- A show-up calendar that marks every day you trained
- XP, daily quests, and 12 collectible foil cards with real engraved insignia
- Your countdown lives in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen
- A home screen widget keeps your streak in sight
- A dry one-line AI coach that actually reads your week (on-device, private)
THE SCIENCE
Minutes of vigorous bursts spread through the day track with 26-30% lower all-cause mortality in Nature Medicine cohort research. "Exercise snacks" work. You just needed somewhere to put them.
PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION
