About Helmden
Helmden is a private training app created for men seeking to overcome premature ejaculation and build physical stamina. The application operates on the medical premise that premature ejaculation is essentially a physiological reflex firing prematurely—and like many bodily reflexes, it can be retrained through deliberate conditioning.
The journey starts with a brief 2-minute diagnostic quiz that categorizes the user into one of five distinct types. Based on this profile, Helmden delivers daily guided sessions designed to help users "train the brake" and develop pelvic control. Built by professional pelvic-health physical therapists—including co-founder Di Wu, a physical therapist and former surgeon—the app provides a structured, discreet, and clinical approach to a common health challenge.
Interested users can experience the platform before committing, as Helmden offers the quiz, the diagnostic outcome, and the first guided training session completely free.

About TouchGrass
TouchGrass is a smart, context-aware break reminder designed specifically for macOS users who want to maintain their physical health without interrupting their productivity. Unlike traditional break reminders that operate solely on rigid timers, TouchGrass understands your workflow and adapts in real-time.
The app is built to be highly respectful of your active work. It intelligently pauses reminders during meetings, calls, media playback, and active screen recordings. Additionally, it detects when you step away from your Mac and automatically registers that time away as a completed break, ensuring you aren't nagged with redundant alerts when you sit back down. When it is time to pause, it provides gentle prompts to blink, improve your posture, and rest your hands after long typing sessions.
Privacy and security are core priorities for TouchGrass. The application runs entirely locally on your machine and operates seamlessly without ever requesting invasive macOS Accessibility permissions. Users can experience the tool via a 7-day free trial, after which it is available for a one-time purchase of $3.99 with lifetime updates included.
