Sitting still is the most repetitive thing we do all day. MotionCue interrupts it, gently.

Show up, and it runs

The whole thing lives on your wrist.

No app to fumble with mid-stretch. A reminder, a tap, a calm figure, done.

Guided session

A calm figure leads every move.

Tap in and the stretch plays itself: a faithful animated figure, a countdown, a plain instruction, and a form cue. A soft chime and haptic tell you when to switch sides.

It shows its work

Every stretch names its source.

The wellness aisle is full of "expert-designed" claims with nothing behind them. MotionCue does the opposite: a tappable citation on each stretch, so you can read the source yourself.

One of 36 is text only, on purpose. The Seated Spinal Twist stays written rather than animated, because the figure cannot show it without misleading you.

No shame, no theater

Progress that forgives you.

See your streak, your sessions, and the areas you have focused on. A rest day or a missed day does not wipe it out. The goal is to move more often, not to feel in debt.

Find your calm

One app, drawn from seven kinds of rest.

MotionCue ships in a clean green. Prefer something softer? Each theme is a palette borrowed from a culture of calm, and the whole app settles into it. More themes arrive over time.

Picture your day with it

Let MotionCue give you these experiences.

A few of the small, quiet wins a calmer workday can hold:

Honest about your data

  • Local-first. Your stretches, reminders, and progress run on your device.
  • No data sold, no third-party tracking.
  • Optional Apple Health, only if you turn it on.

Honest about money

MotionCue is a subscription, and we say so before you install. The app unlocks once you subscribe. There's no free tier we quietly hope you'll upgrade from.

  • An upfront paywall, not a bait-and-switch. You know the price going in.
  • No fake urgency. No countdown timers, no discount theater.
  • Forgiving streaks. A rest day never punishes you.

$4.99/month or $49/year (save ~18%) · auto-renews until cancelled, cancel anytime.

"I built MotionCue because I needed it. So many times I'd look up and realize I'd been stuck in the same screen posture for hours, my range of motion quietly shrinking. So I made the thing that interrupts it. I hope it breaks up the most repetitive thing you do all day. There's something beautiful on the other side of moving again."
Brian, founder of MotionCue
