About BaselineBody

Boilerplate

BaselineBody is a daily health app for iPhone that handles two things your body needs every day: mobility and breathwork. There is nothing to choose, plan, or browse. You open the app, press start, and it reads your day from Apple Health and builds the session for you, based on evidence-based minimum effective doses. Ten to twenty minutes and you're done. No account needed. No equipment needed. $39.99 USD. One-time purchase.

Story Angles

The health app that doesn't make you choose your workout.
No library, no plans, no browsing. You open it, press start, and it reads your day from Apple Health and decides. It's built on the idea that every fitness app you've abandoned failed for the same reason: choosing is exhausting.

The app that tells you when to stop, not when to start.
Every session in BaselineBody has a researched minimum effective dose. Hit it and you're done. The science says short and frequent beats long and rare. BaselineBody is built around that.

The app you buy once.
A mobility app costs ~$100 a year. A breathwork app costs ~$70 a year. BaselineBody covers both for $39.99, one purchase, yours forever.

Not just stretching, and not just breathing.
Some days you're stiff. Some days you're wired. BaselineBody handles both: mobility to loosen a tight back, neck or hips, and functional breathwork to settle your nervous system. Two things every body needs, in one daily ritual.

The app that removed everything.
No streaks. No leaderboards. No notifications. No social features. No workout library. No account. BaselineBody stripped out every engagement mechanic the industry relies on and shipped something that just works.

Key Numbers

Founder

Tim de Jardine is a founder, product leader and fitness enthusiast with 20 years' experience building apps used by millions, from Booking.com to top-ranked fitness and fintech products. BaselineBody is his solo project: no team, no investors, no VC funding. He designed, built, and shipped the entire app alone. It exists because he wanted a health app that worked the way health works: quietly, consistently, without making it your whole personality.
