Why Lumbar Jack

Small app. Serious back-up.

No dashboards, no streaks to maintain, no guilt. Just well-timed nudges that keep you moving.

Two modes, one app

Sit/Stand mode for standing desks, Move mode for everyone else. Switch anytime.

Smart reminders

Notifications with snooze and confirm actions. No app-opening required.

Daily exercises

Curated posture exercises grouped by body area, with set tracking and a morning nudge.

Stays out of your way

Nudges that never break your flow.

Reminders arrive as native macOS notifications. Confirm you're standing, snooze for ten, or push to the next half-hour — all without leaving what you're doing.

  • Confirm or snooze straight from the banner
  • Quiet by design — no sounds unless you want them
  • Lives in the menu bar, never in your Dock
A macOS notification from Lumbar Jack reading 'Time to stand — you have 4 exercises left today', with an Options menu offering I'm standing, 10 more min, Till :30, and Till :00.
Snooze, confirm, or stand — right from the notification
