Desk Beast at Stage 1: a soft, chubby teal blob creature with big shiny eyes and rosy cheeks.
Your Desk Beast starts as a blob. Every workout earns XP.

How it works

Work out. Level up. Watch it grow.

Five minutes, at your desk

Choose from 12 bodyweight exercises including squats, desk push-ups, chair dips and wall sits. Some moves use a sturdy desk, a stable non-rolling chair or floor space. Pick moves that fit your surroundings.

  • 12 exercises
  • ~5 min
  • 12 bodyweight moves

XP, levels and streaks

A full workout earns 100 base XP, plus bonuses. Finishing every exercise adds 25 XP. The first workout of each streak day can add a combo bonus, capped at 200 XP. Workouts restore your beast’s energy; energy drains over time.

A creature that keeps score

Your beast evolves through five stages as you level. Skip a week and it notices. Show up and it gets visibly, absurdly stronger.

Five stages

From blob to beast mode.

Explore the five evolution stages by level. XP bonuses affect how quickly you progress. Blob and Sprout are free; the later stages require Pro.

Desk Beast explained

Questions before your first workout

What is Desk Beast?

Desk Beast is a gamified desk-workout app in development for iPhone. Short bodyweight workouts earn XP for a virtual teal creature that evolves through five stages.

Does Desk Beast need gym equipment?

It uses bodyweight exercises rather than gym equipment. Desk push-ups and desk planks need a sturdy desk, chair dips need a stable non-rolling chair, and some exercises need floor space.

How do free and Pro features differ?

The free app includes workouts, Blob and Sprout evolutions, basic streaks and daily quests. Pro unlocks the later evolution stages, weekly leagues, custom daily quests and unlimited streak freezes. Launch pricing is not announced on this site.

How do Smart Reminders work?

With calendar permission, Smart Reminders look for gaps between meetings on your device. The app also supports local workout reminders and quiet hours.

Can I use an Apple Watch?

The repository includes an Apple Watch companion for quick workouts, complications and a Smart Stack widget. It syncs workout and beast progress with the iPhone app.

Is Desk Beast available to download?
