OnlyHammies is a tiny Mac menu bar app that reminds desk workers to take 45-second hamstring, hip, and back resets during the workday.
No account. No cloud. No tracking. Just hammies.
Or try a reset right now — this demo is the real thing.
It lives in your menu bar and quietly waits while you work. Every 90 minutes — only during your working hours — it suggests one tiny movement reset.
Every reset has a simple stick-figure visual so you know what to do in two seconds. Desk-friendly by default — floor stretches stay off unless you ask. Hover one.
Three of the ten — the full library covers hamstrings, hips, glutes, calves, and lower back. No yoga person required.
If someone on your Wi-Fi runs OnlyHammies, starting a reset invites them to join the same one — synced timers, shared completion. No account. No cloud. No awkward wellness leaderboard.
Peers appear as chosen names like “Hammy 482”. Your device name is never shown.
Yes — completely. Every stretch, reminders, stats, streaks, and local Wi-Fi sync are free forever. No credit card, no trial countdown, no features that expire. If it helps and you'd like to support it, you can pay whatever you can — but you never have to.
No — never. There's nothing to sign up for and no login anywhere. Even local Wi-Fi sync finds nearby hammies automatically, without an account. OnlyHammies just lives in your menu bar and works.
On your Mac. Settings and stats are stored locally and never uploaded — no analytics, no tracking, no cloud. Local sync uses your Wi-Fi to find nearby hammies and shares only a chosen display name like "Hammy 482." Your device name is never shown.
It nudges, you decide. Snooze 15 minutes, pause an hour, or skip — no guilt, no shame copy, no streak punishment for having a life. It also goes fully quiet outside your active hours.
No. OnlyHammies is a reminder to move, not a treatment plan. If something hurts, stop. If something keeps hurting, talk to a professional.
macOS 14 or newer. The whole app is about 9 MB, sips zero CPU while it waits, and uses almost no memory.
The whole app is free, forever — every stretch, reminders, stats, local Wi-Fi sync. No tiers, no paywall, no trial timer. If it makes you 1% less chair and you'd like to chip in, pay whatever feels right. That's the entire business model.
The app itself is free, forever — every stretch, reminder, stat and local Wi-Fi sync, no account required. Download it here. These two are just for the people who want to chip in. Super Hammy is a one-time thank-you for backing this early.
No workout plans. No calories. No influencer energy. Just tiny movement breaks for people whose laptops are slowly turning them into chairs.
A note from the person whose chair was winning
I built OnlyHammies because I kept ending workdays shaped like a question mark. Every break app I tried felt like homework or HR. I wanted something tiny, funny, and private — an app that asks for 45 seconds, not a lifestyle.
It's free, about 9 MB, and it never phones home. If it makes you 1% less chair, that's the whole business model.
OnlyHammies is not medical advice. If something hurts, stop. If something keeps hurting, talk to a professional.
