The recovery system
built for how IT professionals
actually live.

Yes — selfReset is completely free during our pilot launch. All 14 recovery sessions, all 9 desk break routines, and all features are available at no cost. We will announce any future pricing well in advance, and early users will always be looked after.

No. You can start any session right now without signing up. Creating a free account unlocks streak tracking, session history, personalised recommendations, and the ability to save your health conditions so the app can filter sessions safely for you.

No installation required. selfReset is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — it runs entirely in your browser. On Android, you can tap "Add to Home Screen" in Chrome to get an app-like experience with one tap access. On iPhone, open in Safari and tap the Share icon → Add to Home Screen.

Yes — selfReset is designed to work on all screen sizes. The session player and voice guidance work on Android Chrome, iOS Safari, desktop Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Voice guidance is best on Android Chrome, which uses Google's high-quality text-to-speech engine.

No. Every session in selfReset is designed to be done at your desk, in your work clothes, with no equipment whatsoever. Some floor-based sessions (like Sleep Preparation and Burnout Recovery) work better with a little floor space, but the majority are fully chair-based.

You choose: 5, 10, or 15 minutes. The 5-minute sessions are quick desk resets — ideal between meetings. The 10-minute sessions are the core experience, covering 6–8 poses with voice guidance. The 15-minute sessions are deeper recovery with extended holds. You can change the duration on the Ready screen before you begin.

selfReset is built for people who have never done yoga in their lives. We deliberately avoid Sanskrit pose names in the voice instructions, explain every movement in plain English, and choose sessions based on clinical physiotherapy principles rather than yoga tradition. If you can sit at a desk, you can do these sessions.

Most sessions, yes. The seated sessions — neck, wrist, eye relief, focus reset, meeting recovery — are all designed for desk use and look like ordinary stretching. The voice can be muted and you follow the written cue cards instead. Floor-based sessions (lower back, sleep, burnout) need a small private space.

selfReset has a health condition system built in. In your Profile, you can select from 13 conditions including hypertension, glaucoma, herniated disc, knee injury, pregnancy, and anxiety disorder. The app automatically filters out any poses that are contraindicated for your conditions and flags modifications where relevant. If you have a serious or recent injury, check with your physiotherapist before starting.

Yes. Tap the pause button at any time — the timer freezes, the voice stops, and the session waits exactly where you left it. When you resume, the voice picks up from where it paused. This is designed specifically for office use where interruptions happen.

The voice is there so you can close your eyes, follow the session without looking at your screen, and actually focus on the movement rather than reading instructions. It is the single feature that makes selfReset more effective than a written routine. That said, the mute button is always visible — tap it and the session continues with written cue cards only.

Use headphones or earphones for the best experience in a shared space. Alternatively, mute the voice and follow the written instructions on screen — they update in real time with each pose cue. Many selfReset users keep a pair of earphones at their desk specifically for this.

Many people notice immediate relief — neck stiffness, lower back ache, wrist tension, and eye fatigue all respond quickly to targeted movement. For lasting change in chronic conditions like forward head posture or recurring lower back pain, research on office worker interventions shows meaningful improvement after 3–4 weeks of consistent daily practice. The sessions that help the most are the ones you actually do, which is why we keep them short.

The research on desk worker physical recovery is clear: frequency beats duration. Daily 10-minute sessions produce better long-term outcomes than occasional hour-long sessions. We recommend one full session per day — ideally at a consistent time that anchors it to an existing habit, like your morning standup or after lunch. The desk break routines (2–3 minutes each) can be used as many times as needed throughout the day.

Your data is completely private. selfReset does not share any data with employers, insurers, or third parties. Your health conditions, session history, and personal information are stored securely and are accessible only to you. We comply with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP). You can read the full details in our Privacy Policy.

Yes, at any time. Go to Profile → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account, all session history, health conditions, and personal data from our servers within 30 days. There are no retention exceptions.

Quick Desk Breaks are 90-second to 3-minute targeted breaks designed to be done at your desk between meetings, without leaving your chair. They are not full recovery sessions — they are micro-interventions for specific problems: a 90-second Eye Relief break to rest your eyes after an hour of screen work, a 2-minute Neck Reset between meetings, a Calm Before Meeting breath practice before a difficult call. They require no account, no sign-in, and no setup. Just tap and follow the voice.

Yes — and this works particularly well. Each desk break has its own URL (for example, selfreset.app/microbreak/mb-neck) that you can share in Slack or WhatsApp. Anyone who opens the link can start the break immediately, with no account required. Several teams during our beta used the Post-Meeting Reset as a team ritual after long sprint calls.

No — they serve a different purpose. Desk breaks are for maintaining comfort throughout the day: a quick 2-minute neck reset at 11am, an eye break after a long deep-work session. Recovery sessions are for more complete therapeutic work: addressing chronic lower back pain, wrist RSI, burnout, or stress with 8-10 exercises in sequence. Both are valuable, and both work without an account.
