Free on iPhone and Android: up to six daily nudges, spread across the hours you sit. Premium: your own times, as often as every 30 minutes. Mac and Chrome keep their own simpler free schedule.

why most movement reminders fail
a ping that disappears leaves no trace.
Most movement reminder apps bet everything on delivery. Smarter timing. Louder notifications. Full-screen alerts. The assumption is that if the reminder reaches you at the right moment, you'll act on it.
That solves one problem. The real problem is what happens after week two. You've trained yourself to dismiss the notification before reading it. It's in the same mental category as "your storage is almost full." The reminder became noise.
SuperMoo's bet is different. When you miss a movement reminder, something happens. Dracu-Moo's notifications start appearing. They escalate in tone as dracu-moo starts winning. Missing reminders means a villain is getting stronger. That's a story, not a ping.
the research is clear: habits stick when missing them feels like something, not just a skipped notification. that's the design principle behind dracu-moo. read more on the science page.

how the movement reminder works
sixty seconds. a few times a day. the loop, complete.
01
🔔
the nudge.
Moo taps you on the shoulder up to six times a day. Not aggressive. Not a siren. Just a cow who has one thing to say: maybe stand up? On iPhone and Android you set the hours and days you sit; with premium you pick the exact times and the intensity.
02
🚶
the move.
Stand. Stretch. Walk to the kitchen. Stare at a plant for 60 seconds. Squats. Desk push-ups. There are dozens of mooves, sorted by the kind of energy you have. Moo counts them all.
03
📋
the chalkboard.
Tap moo, and on your phone today counts toward your week (4 of 5 this week) and Dracu-Moo loses a line off the chalkboard. Keep ignoring reminders and the notifications get progressively more sinister. The narrative runs itself.
questions about the movement reminder
stuff people ask.
Yes. SuperMoo is a free app that reminds you to get up and move for sixty seconds, several times a day, on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Chrome. There is no account and it is made by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. If you keep ignoring the reminders, a villain cow named Dracu-Moo gets involved, which is the part that keeps it working past week two.
Free plan on iPhone and Android: up to six well-timed daily reminders, spread across the hours you sit. On the Mac, free is up to six fixed nudges in your work hours; in Chrome, one an hour from 9 to 6. Premium on your phone: you set it. Exact times you pick, a set number spread out (3 to 8 a day), or every hour (or every 30 minutes). You can set the hours moo is active and the days moo fires, and quiet hours keep moo from buzzing you at night.
Yes. A phone alarm is one tone that means nothing. SuperMoo has two characters with different motivations whose messages change with how your day is going. Moo rewards you when you move. Dracu-Moo is the villain who wants you in the chair, and with premium you can even put Dracu-Moo in charge of your day for some reverse-psychology motivation. With real alarms on iPhone (premium), the reminder becomes a full-screen showdown: tap the button, do one tiny move, and Moo wins. The narrative creates consequence, which is what actually changes behavior long-term. On iPhone and Android there's also a move library and vibe modes for different days (office vs WFH vs rest day vs hoops). There's an Apple Watch companion for iPhone (premium), a Mac menubar app, and a Chrome extension.
Yes, and there's actual research on this. A peer-reviewed study on desk workers found that uninterrupted sitting for four hours measurably reduces blood flow to the brain, independent of overall fitness. Your morning workout doesn't prevent the afternoon slowdown. Short movement breaks throughout the day do. The gym-goers page has more on this, and the science page covers all 16+ studies.
iPhone, iPad, Android, Wear OS (free, with Android), Mac (free menu bar app on the Mac App Store), Apple Watch (premium only, with iPhone), and Chrome extension. Premium is available as a monthly, annual, or one-time lifetime option, and one purchase unlocks every Apple platform (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch). Android and Chrome are separate. The free version works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac menubar, and Chrome with no account required.
Yes. On iPhone, iPad and Android, the free version includes up to six daily movement reminders spread across your sitting day, moo picks for me, every one-minute moove in the library, a weekly count of the days you moved, levels, the full Dracu-Moo arc, and the home-screen widget (display). Premium adds power features: custom schedule (including hourly), quiet hours, real alarms on iPhone (iOS 26 or later) that start with a one-minute moo countdown and can go quiet after your goal, the Apple Watch companion, the Mac screen takeover, Apple Health on iPhone, choose your moo, longer history, and widget tap-to-log. No ads on either tier. SuperMoo is made by Reweave, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Dracu-Moo is the villain cow, who chose a sedentary lifestyle and keeps a chalkboard with a ten-chapter plan to keep you seated indefinitely. The plan has chapters like "the comfy chair gambit," "operation: one more episode," and "the post-workout rest." When you move, you strike a line from that chalkboard. When you ignore movement reminders, the notifications appear and get progressively more sinister. They're signed "moo lah lah." Dracu-Moo is not to be trusted.
