How it works
Four simple steps. Zero friction.
1. Install & choose repos
Download the app and select which folders to watch. The app only detects git events and your code stays completely private.
2. You commit
Fetch, commit or push code.
Git Moving watches silently in the background.
3. You move
A bite-sized exercise pops up. Follow a simple activity to reset your body and mind before returning to your work.
4. You thrive
Less pain, more energy, sharper focus. Small movements add up to big health gains.
Fully customizable to fit your workflow
Choose which git commands trigger exercises. Pick from stretches, micro-workouts, or both. Set your own schedule. Works on macOS and Windows.
Your code stays completely private
Git Moving never reads your source code. It only watches for git events like commits, pushes, and fetches. Nothing else leaves your machine.

“I code all day. Git Moving makes breaks feel automatic instead of optional.”
Indie founder probably“Feels like a calm coaching cue.”
“The exercises are short, the UI is clean, and it doesn't nag.”

Why I built this
I've always struggled with being too sedentary while coding. Sitting for 8+ hours a day was just part of the job, and I never thought much about it until my body started pushing back.
After turning 30, weird aches started showing up. Stiff neck, tight shoulders, lower back pain that wouldn't go away. I tried setting timers, but I'd always ignore them mid-flow. What actually helped was taking small breaks tied to something I was already doing: committing code.
That's the idea behind Git Moving. It watches your git activity and nudges you to move at natural pause points in your workflow. No disruptions mid-thought, just a quick stretch when you've already finished a task.
I hope this app can help someone else who's in a similar place, or better yet, help you be proactive so you never get there in the first place.
