DeskRest is Now Available in the Mac App Store!
After 11 months of intensive development and community building, we've reached an important milestone today: DeskRest is now available in the Mac App Store! What began as a niche solution for Mac users is now accessible to a much broader audience.
The Journey to the App Store: 11 Months of Pioneering Work
Since October 2024, you could only download DeskRest from our website. This time wasn't just a testing phase – it was fundamental to developing the app you know and love today.
What we accomplished in these 11 months:
- 33 continuous updates with features like video detection, meeting detection, and cursor countdown
- Built an active community of health-conscious Mac users
- Established valuable feedback loops for continuous improvement
- Proven stability and performance through intensive real-world testing
The website-exclusive phase allowed us to iterate quickly, implement direct user feedback, and transform DeskRest into the robust solution it is today.
Why the App Store Makes Sense Now
The transition to the App Store isn't coincidental – it follows a clear strategy:
Trust and Security
Many Mac users understandably hesitate to install apps from unknown websites. The App Store solves this trust issue with a single click. Apple's curation process signals quality and security – especially important for an app that integrates deeply into your workflow.
Broader Reach
The App Store opens DeskRest to millions of Mac users who could benefit from its health advantages but haven't taken the step to install from our website.
What This Means for Existing Users
Your investment is protected: If you already purchased DeskRest through our website, all features and updates remain available. We'll continue providing the same features for both website and App Store users.
Even better support: With two distribution channels, we can optimally serve different user groups and improve the support process for everyone.
DeskRest Tip: The App Store version offers the same intelligent features as the website version: video detection for uninterrupted tutorials, meeting detection for professional calls, and the popular cursor countdown function. The only difference: installation is now even easier!
A New Chapter Begins
The App Store launch is more than just an additional distribution channel. It marks DeskRest's evolution from a niche solution to an essential Mac app for healthy working.
For the community, this means:
- Greater development resources through an expanded user base
- Faster feature development through more feedback channels
- Stronger position in digital health conversations
For new users, this means:
- Immediate access to 11 months of proven development
- Trusted installation through Apple's curated platform
- Membership in an established community of health-conscious Mac users
Healthier Working for All Mac Users
Whether you've been using DeskRest since day one or are hearing about it for the first time today: our mission remains unchanged. We want every Mac user to have the opportunity to work more healthily and productively.
The App Store launch brings us a giant step closer to this goal. Suddenly, millions of Mac users can access intelligent break reminders, personalized health exercises, and work-life balance features with a single click.
