Desktop WellnessReminder Platform

This desktop workplace wellness platform helps desk workers build healthier habits by automatically detecting continuous computer activity and reminding them to stand, stretch, and move. Running quietly in the background, it leverages Chrome's native Idle Detector API to provide accurate, non-intrusive reminders while offering Google/email authentication, a three-day free trial, and Stripe subscription management.

Challenge

The Problem

The client needed a solution that could accurately monitor real user activity without requiring manual timers or wearable devices. The application also had to continue functioning across browser tabs and minimized windows, intelligently distinguish between short and long idle periods, support desktop-only browser capabilities, and provide a smooth SaaS onboarding and subscription experience.

Solution

Our Approach

Built a browser-based SaaS application that automatically detects user activity using the Chrome Idle Detector API and intelligently reminds users to take movement breaks after 50 minutes of sustained work. The platform includes seamless authentication, permission management, free trial onboarding, and Stripe-powered subscription billing.

Architecture

System Design

Users begin on a focused landing page before passing a Chrome compatibility check. After authenticating via Google or email, they grant notification and idle detection permissions. Chrome's Idle Detector API continuously monitors activity, while the reminder engine tracks active work sessions and triggers desktop notifications and break screens after 50 minutes of continuous activity. Stripe manages the free trial and subscription lifecycle, with application settings providing account, billing, support, and legal management.
