Sitting is silently killing you
Hours spent at your desk might feel harmless, but inside your body is breaking down. Your back starts to curve, your muscles grow weak and tight and your joints stiffen. Blood doesn’t flow like it should, raising the risk of clots that can travel straight to your heart or brain. Meanwhile, fat builds up around your organs, creeping you closer to diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. Your spine suffers, your neck strains, and your shoulders hunch, leaving you in daily pain. Worst of all, your body forgets how to move properly and at some point you don’t even remember how to sit or stand without slouching. Every day you sit too long, you’re trading health for slow, quiet damage that adds up until it’s unfortunately too late to reverse.
Studies data are alarming
4 to 5 million deaths every year
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), it is estimated that 4 to 5 million deaths per year could be averted if the global population was more active.
30% higher risk of dying
A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) shown that sitting 11 hours or more per day raises mortality risk by 30%, even with great workout sessions later.
Sitting is the new smoking
Sitting for over 8 hours with no physical activity puts your health at the same risk level as smoking or being obese. Sedentary lifestyle increase the chance of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers.
Sedentary life increases cancer risk
A study published in the JNCI (Journal of the National Cancer Institute) found that being too sedentary increases the risk of some types of cancer such as colon, endometrial and lung cancers.
1.8 billion adults at risk today
About 1.8 billion adults aren’t getting enough physical activity. That’s nearly a quarter of the whole world facing higher risks of health issues because they’re not moving enough. Are you part of them?
1 in 3 will be inactive in 2030
By 2030, global physical inactivity is expected to reach 35%. This trend has been steadily rising for years and shows no sign of slowing down.
"The risk starts climbing when you’re sitting about 11 hours per day [...] sitting more than 30 minutes at a time is associated with higher risk than sitting only 10 minutes at a time. Most people aren't going to get up six times an hour, but maybe people could get up once an hour, or every 20 minutes or so. They don't have to go anywhere, they can just stand for a little while.”

I have hyperkyphosis since I was young, and years of working behind a laptop only made it worse for my back. This app helps me correct my posture which I hope will help to reduce the pain and curvature from getting worse.
The website blocking feature is exactly what I needed. I always find myself navigating to Reddit and then losing the flow when working.
I'm glad I found this app. I didn't realize I was sitting that bad and it really helps me to fix my posture on my chair.

Amazing application to motivate myself to do some physical activity. Can only recommend it.
I'm a hardworker and work way too much but being forced to take 15 minutes breaks every 2 hours has been a great help to reduce my work fatigue.
I used to get neck and back pain because my head was heading forward too much when working on a laptop all day. With Hyud I'm forced to sit straight as much as I can and my pain has reduced over the weeks.

Great tool. I struggle to stay focused on my work, and the fact that it blocks websites that could distract me is a game changer for me.
My posture at work was terrible, even on a good chair because I was not noticing it. I like this app because it alerts me when I start to sit wrong and I can quickly fix it.
I work sitted all day and I know it's very bad for my health. Hyud makes me move more frequently and I indeed feel less exhausted than before.

About Hyud
Hey 👋
I'm Arthur, the maker of Hyud.
I realized that I was spending way too much time working on my computer, sitting at my desk for hours without taking any breaks. This is terrible because it doesn’t just lower productivity but can also lead to serious health issues such as back pain, cancer, heart disease and more, which is a much bigger concern to me.
So I created Hyud to help me take regular breaks while doing a bit of exercise, stretch my body more frequently and finally control and fix my posture. And the results are here. My productivity has increased, I improved my posture, have less back pain than before and I'm pretty sure that my body will thank me on the long run.
