Frequently asked questions

A daily movement app for your iPhone. Open it, press Start, and it gives you a short session: mobility or breathwork. You don't pick. You don't plan. You show up. No equipment. Your phone and a bit of floor space.

One person. No team, no investors, no content studio. Built because every app that promised to keep me moving kept getting in the way. If you want to reach me, [email protected] goes straight to my inbox.

Because choosing is the problem. You've downloaded fitness apps before. You browsed the library, spent 10 minutes deciding, and closed the app. BaselineBody skips all of that. It reads your day from Apple Health and builds the session for you. You press start.

It depends on the mode. Baseline is your daily session, built from your day. Body focuses on the region you tap. Breath is functional breathwork with six protocols for different moments: grounding before work, getting activated, resetting midday, winding down at night, pushing through something hard, or deep rest. Each one is guided by haptics and a breathing orb on screen. No spiritual framing. No guided journeys. Just targeted state change.

20 minutes max. Most are shorter. Short enough to always do. Real enough to matter. You'll never have to decide whether you have time. You do.

Because the apps you quit were designed to keep you browsing, not moving. Hundreds of options, then a streak that punishes you for missing a day. BaselineBody has one button. No library to browse. No streak to protect. You open it, do the session, close it.

No. Every session combines two halves: mobility work to keep your joints moving, and breathwork to regulate your nervous system. The kind of thing a good physio would tell you to do every morning if you asked them what matters.

It's not trying to. If you lift heavy, run, or play a sport, keep doing that. BaselineBody is the layer underneath: the mobility, recovery, and breathwork you know you should be doing but never get around to. It makes your training work better, not replace it.

No. Sessions are short, low-impact, and designed for people who are starting from zero. You don't need to be fit to start. You need to show up.

The sessions are low-impact and slow. Nothing explosive, nothing loaded, nothing that needs a coach watching your form. But you know your body better than any app. If a movement hurts, skip it. If a doctor or physio has told you to avoid something, follow their advice, not this one's.

No. Flexibility is the output, not the entry price. Every exercise scales to where you are today. You hold the position at your own end range, not somebody else's.

No. The sessions start gentle enough to be the warm-up. If you're doing something harder afterwards, like a run or a lift or a sport, this is a fine way to prime for it.

Whenever it will happen. Morning is common because nothing has hijacked the day yet. Evening works too. There is no wrong time. Pick the one you'll do.

To disappear. BaselineBody is not trying to impress you. It's trying to make being well the thing you don't have to think about. The best outcome is that you open it every morning out of habit, do your session without deliberating, and forget about it five minutes later. Movement that becomes as automatic as brushing your teeth. When that happens, BaselineBody did its job.

Nothing happens. No guilt. No broken streak. No notification telling you you've let yourself down. The grid resets every Monday. Clean slate. The system is there when you are. It doesn't chase you.

Yes. There's a core set of movements the app brings back often. Around them the library cycles, so what you see changes week to week. Other apps promise new workouts every day, and you never do anything long enough to get good at it. Here the core repeats until it stops requiring thought. That's when it becomes a habit.

YouTube is a library. You still have to pick, sequence, and time everything yourself. Miss a day and you're back to browsing. BaselineBody is the opposite: one button, no browsing, session built from what your body's already done today. If you've got a YouTube playlist you never watch, that's the problem this is trying to solve.

Because streaks make you show up to protect a number, not because the work matters. When you miss a day and the streak breaks, most people quit entirely. BaselineBody has no streaks. You showed up, or you didn't. Tomorrow's still there.

Because a notification is a nag, not a commitment. If you want a daily reminder, you put BaselineBody in your calendar, the same way you'd schedule anything that matters. A decision you made, not a prompt we sent.

Every exercise has a minimum effective dose: the shortest hold that does something real. For a stretch, 60 seconds under tension. For a longer hold, 120. Not arbitrary. They come from sports-science research on what shifts mobility and motor control. Hit the dose, earn the block. Want to hold longer, go longer.

Yes. You get 3 full sessions free. After that, you decide.

Subscriptions assume the app has to keep convincing you it's worth paying for, every month, forever. We'd rather just build something that works and ask you once.

Request a refund through Apple within 14 days of purchase. Apple handles it. No hoops, no retention screens, no emailing support. If it's not for you, takes a couple of taps.

Any iPhone running iOS 26 or later.

No. iPhone only, and there's no Android version planned. BaselineBody leans on Apple Health, haptics, and iOS features that don't translate.

Yes. Once the app's on your phone, it runs offline. Nothing streams. Nothing needs a connection. Do it on a plane, in a hotel, in a car park.

Yes. No accounts, no email, no sign-up. Everything stays on your device and backs up automatically through iCloud. If you get a new phone, your progress, blocks, and settings come with you. We use anonymous analytics to improve the app. That's it. Full details at baselinebody.app/privacy.

Yes. BaselineBody reads Apple Health to know when you've already trained hard that day and adjusts your session accordingly. Your completed sessions also write back to Apple Health.

Yes, from 13 and up. Anyone under 18 should have a parent or guardian around. Full details in our health disclaimer.
