Lucy

Five minutes. That's the entire commitment.

You don't need to be flexible. Not reaching your toes is the reason to start, not a reason to wait.

Guided stretching for people who sit all day. Short routines, a timer that tells you when to switch sides, and no guilt about the days you skip.

The Lucy home screen, showing a three-minute routine called Unstick Your Neck

Three steps, and then you're done.

  1. 1

    Pick a routine

    Four of them, sorted by what's tight and how much room you've got. The whole list fits on one screen — there is nothing to search through.

  2. 2

    Follow the timer

    One stretch on screen at a time, counted down, with a cue when it's time to switch sides. You can shut your eyes and just listen.

  3. 3

    Done in five minutes

    That's the session. Come back tomorrow, or don't — nothing in Lucy keeps score against you.

One stretch on screen. Nothing else asking for you.

Small enough that you'll actually do it today.

Under five minutes

Most routines run three to six minutes. Short enough that "I don't have time" stops being true, which is the only reason anyone does this twice.

The timer does the counting

One stretch on screen at a time, counted down out loud, with a cue when it's time to switch sides. You keep your eyes shut if you want to.

No mat, no floor, no problem

One routine is built entirely for standing up in about a square metre — hotel rooms, offices, airport gates. Fully dressed, no equipment.

Missing a day isn't a failure

Nothing in Lucy shames you for a gap. No broken streak, no red numbers, no notification asking where you've been. You just start again.

Find it by the bit that's tight

Browse by body area — neck, lower back, hips, hamstrings, wrists — or search. You don't need to know the name of the stretch you need.

Nothing to sign up for

No email, no password, no profile. It works on a plane with no signal, and the privacy policy is short because there's very little to say.

Made for people who sit still for a living.

Not for anyone chasing the splits. If your hips and lower back complain by the afternoon, you're the one this was built for.

You sit at a desk all day

Shoulders creeping up towards your ears by mid-afternoon, and a neck that's stiff by the time you close the laptop.

You drive for a living

Hips that don't want to straighten out at the end of a shift, and nowhere to lie down when they do.

You've been meaning to start for months

You already know you should stretch. Knowing was never the problem — this is built for the doing.

You can't touch your toes

Good. Every stretch has a version that works from a chair, and the app tells you where you should feel it rather than how far to go.

Four routines. Thirty stretches.

Not a library you have to dig through. Pick the one that matches where it hurts, or how much room you've got.

Unstick Your Neck

Free forever

3 min · 7 stretches

The one for people who spend all day looking at a screen. Neck, shoulders and wrists, in the time it takes a kettle to boil.

Be Kind to Your Back

6 min · 8 stretches

For the ache that shows up after a long sit. Slow, floor-based, and nothing in it requires you to be bendy.

Happy Hips

5 min · 8 stretches

Hips get tight from sitting more than from anything else. This one opens the front of them and the back of the legs at the same time.

Nowhere to Lie Down

6 min · 8 stretches

Every stretch in here works standing up, fully dressed, in about a square metre. Built for hotel rooms, offices and airport gates.

Why you're stiff, and what helps.

One routine is free forever.

Not a trial of it, not a preview — the whole routine, for as long as you want it. A subscription opens the rest and starts with a 7-day free trial. The price is shown in your own currency on the App Store.

The things people ask before they start.

01

Do I need to be flexible already?

No, and that's rather the point. Every stretch has a version that works from a chair or standing, and the instructions tell you where you should feel it rather than how far you should go. If a stretch doesn't reach you, it still counts.

02

How long does a session actually take?

Three to six minutes. Unstick Your Neck is three. You can add or remove time on any stretch before you start if you want to go longer.

03

Do I need a mat, or space to lie down?

Not for all of it. Unstick Your Neck and Nowhere to Lie Down are done standing or seated, fully dressed, in roughly a square metre. Be Kind to Your Back and Happy Hips do want the floor.

04

What's free and what isn't?

Unstick Your Neck is free forever — the whole routine, not a preview. The other three routines and the full 30-stretch library are part of the subscription, which starts with a 7-day free trial. The price is shown in your own currency on the App Store and in the app before you commit to anything.

05

Can I make a stretch shorter?

Yes — tap the minus on any stretch before you start, and Lucy remembers it for next time. Nothing has to be done at the length we picked.

06

How do I cancel?

Through Apple, not through us: Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. Cancel any time during the trial and you aren't charged. We can't cancel it for you, and we never see your payment details.

07

Do I need an account?

No. There is no signup, no login, no email and no password anywhere in Lucy. It works offline, on a plane, with no signal at all.

08

Is it safe for my back / neck / knee?

Lucy is a stretching app, not a clinician, and it doesn't know your history. If something hurts, stop. If you have an injury, a condition, or you're pregnant or postpartum, talk to a professional before starting. Please read the Fitness & Safety Disclaimer — it's short and it's the honest version.

09

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Lucy is iPhone-only for now, iOS 18 and up.

10

Something's broken, or I have an idea.

Tell us — the contact form goes to a real person and we answer within a couple of days. Feature requests genuinely do get read.

Five minutes. That's the entire commitment.

Lucy walks you through one stretch at a time and tells you when to switch sides. Unstick Your Neck is free forever.
