10 squats every 45 min.
A quiet iPhone widget timer for desk days. Keep the next squat break visible, log a set with one tap, and let the next countdown start automatically.
What it is
TEN45 keeps one small movement rule visible during work: ten squats, then back to the thing you were doing. No feed, no coaching plan, no account, and no noisy reminders.
Add the Home Screen widget so the next set stays in the place you already glance at.
Tap I did it when the set is done. TEN45 saves the set and starts the next countdown.
The default is 10 reps every 45 minutes with a 10-set target. Change each one in Settings.
The dashboard shows sets, squat total, streaks, and recent history without turning it into a social app.
No notifications, no sounds, no ads, and no feed. TEN45 is visible when you look, quiet when you work.
Your settings and set history stay on your iPhone. The app does not require an account.
Default rhythm
TEN45 starts with the desk-day pace it is named for. Keep it simple, or adjust timer length, reps, and daily target when your day needs a different rhythm.
One bodyweight set. No equipment. No warmup.
Minutes between timers. Change it when your day needs a different pace.
Sets per day by default. Streak days count at half your current target.
Open TEN45 or add the Home Screen widget. The countdown starts.
Move. Do the set, tap I did it, and the next timer starts automatically.
The widget keeps the next interval visible without a notification.
Timer length, reps, daily target, and theme stay adjustable in Settings.
Screenshots
TEN45 stays narrow on purpose: one countdown, one button, and a local dashboard for the sets you have already done.
How it works
Home Screen widgets and the app dashboard use the same restrained language: timer, set count, done. The point is a visible prompt, not another alert stream.
A quiet countdown in the place you already check, with one-tap set logging.
Timer, reps, daily target, and theme are adjustable. No notifications, no sounds.
Sets, squats, current streak, longest streak, and history stay local on your iPhone.
Evidence, carefully
Research on interrupting prolonged sitting has found improvements in post-meal glucose and insulin responses when sitting is broken up with physical activity. TEN45 turns that idea into one repeatable desk-day rule.
It is not medical advice, and it is not a replacement for training. It is a small constraint that makes sitting less continuous.
Availability
TEN45 is available free for iPhone. It requires iOS 17 or later and is intentionally local-first: no account, no ads, no feed, no notifications, and no sounds.
