Reminders can be limited to chosen days and work hours, and the page says the app avoids mid-call interruptions. Its exercise list includes seated and standing variations, while a Supporter pack adds three named moves; the page also describes an optional webcam mode and a manual counter. Stats can be exported in CSV format, with fields including date, exercise, mode, reps, and duration.
