Outside the editor
We're exploring BodyCommit for the rest of your workday: a small desktop app for Windows and Mac, and support for the Claude Code app. Leave your email and we'll tell you if and when it's ready.
How it works
One line, one action, three buttons: Start, Snooze 15m, Skip. The sequence is short and designed. The instructions stay plain.

01
Setup asks about a stable chair without wheels and a stable step. Sit-to-stand and step-ups are only suggested when you confirm those. Everything else uses a safer substitute.
02
BodyCommit suggests a break when your agent is busy. It holds the suggestion while you are typing heavily. An optional Lunch Walk can offer one easy walk in a midday window you choose. It stays off until you turn it on.
03
25 moves and 14 sequences, from 1 to 5 minutes, designed by a fitness coach. Purposes are Move, Strengthen, Mobilise, Recover, and opt-in Energise. Effort is shown in plain words: very easy, easy, or moderate.
04
Stats show breaks offered, started, finished, and minutes by purpose. Skip any time. “Don't suggest this again” hides one move. Nothing is uploaded.

FAQ
BodyCommit turns natural pauses in your coding workflow into purposeful movement, helping you sit less, move better, and build healthier workday habits. It is a free extension for VS Code and Cursor. Breaks have five purposes: Move, Strengthen, Mobilise, Recover, and opt-in Energise. There are 25 moves and 14 short sequences, from 1 to 5 minutes, designed by a fitness coach.
It suggests a break when your agent is busy, or after a long stretch at a natural pause. It holds the suggestion while you are typing heavily. That is a suggestion, not a guarantee it will notice every pause. An optional Lunch Walk can offer one easy walk inside a midday window. It stays off until you turn it on.
Whether your chair is stable, stationary, and without wheels, and whether you have a stable step you want to use. Sit-to-stand is only suggested after you confirm the chair. Step-ups are only suggested after you confirm the step. You can change both answers later. “Don't suggest this again” hides a single move.
Yes. Every prompt has Start, Snooze, and Skip. Skipping is a normal outcome. “Don't suggest this again” hides that move until you bring it back in settings.
Breaks offered, started, and finished, and minutes by purpose. That is a record of what you ran. Nothing else is claimed.
No. The extension does not ask you to sign in, and it does not upload what you do.
Move at your own pace and stay within a comfortable range. Stop if an exercise causes pain, dizziness or unusual discomfort. Skip or modify any movement that doesn't feel right for you. BodyCommit provides general movement and wellbeing suggestions, not medical advice. If you have an injury, medical condition or concerns about exercising, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional before starting or modifying an exercise routine.
The essentials stay free: walking and marching, sit-to-stand or a squat alternative, calf raises, basic mobility, relaxed breathing, the Agent-Wait Energiser, and Seated Long Reset. Pro adds structured programmes and more routines. There is no monthly subscription. A founder price for early buyers is being tested on the site. Checkout is not connected yet.
VS Code and Cursor, on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The same extension is on Open VSX, which Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium use.
For VS Code, use Install for VS Code on the home page. On a computer it can open vscode:extension/bodycommit.bodycommit. On a phone or tablet the button goes to the Marketplace page for bodycommit.bodycommit, which is also the fallback when the editor does not open. Open the site on your computer to install in the editor. For Cursor, use Install for Cursor, which goes to Open VSX. In Cursor you can also search BodyCommit in the Extensions view. The extension is free. An email is not required to install.
Occasional notes about the extension. Signup is double opt-in: Buttondown sends the confirmation when the list is connected, and an address is only subscribed after that link is opened. You can unsubscribe on the privacy page or by emailing hello@bodycommit.com. The list is not sold. You do not need this email to install.
The site does not set tracking cookies. It uses Vercel Web Analytics, a cookieless, privacy-friendly analytics service that doesn't store personal data or set cookies. Vercel Speed Insights measures page speed the same way. The pricing section stores which Pro offer this tab is showing in sessionStorage, cleared when the tab closes. A separate cookieless, Plausible-compatible script loads only when a config flag is set. That flag is off by default. The extension's break history is not sent to this website.
A setting for a shared room. Jumping and loud moves are opt-in under Energise. Quiet mode leaves them out even then.
