# Deskhale

> Deskhale (desk + exhale) is a website for desk and office workers. It reminds users to take a break at an interval they choose (every 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or custom, only during their work hours), then guides 90-second exercises with an animated coach and realistic breathing sounds — breathing, desk stretches, posture, eye exercises and small stress-relief games — and tracks progress with a free account (username + password). Slogan: "Desk. Inhale. Exhale." Built by a solo maker. It is a wellbeing tool, not medical advice.
