Our story

We couldn't find an app that actually fixed it, so we built one.

Jan and Vojtěch, who built Bavelu, sitting together on a sofa in the studio

Jan and Vojtěch spent years sitting at a computer all day, and felt it in their necks and backs every evening. Physiotherapy helped, but the pain always crept back the moment life got busy again.

So they teamed up with real physiotherapists to build Bavelu: a way to get proper, guided relief without needing an appointment, a studio, or more willpower than anyone actually has.

Our journey

From two sore backs to the App Store

  1. An idea about AirPods

    It started with an idea of Vojtěch's. AirPods have a motion sensor that follows how your head moves. What if they could tell you when you start to hunch over the screen?

  2. Two sore backs

    Jan and Vojtěch both spent their days at a computer, and both had back pain. Physiotherapy helped, but the pain always crept back once life got busy again.

  3. We met and built Bavelu

    When we met, the idea and the problem fitted together: real physiotherapy exercises in a few minutes a day, and AirPods that keep an eye on your posture while you work.

  4. Filming with Lukáš

    With physiotherapist Mgr. Lukáš Kučera we designed the exercises and filmed every one of them in a studio. Nothing is AI-generated.

  5. Out into the world

    Then we released Bavelu on the App Store: 330 sessions, a plan built around where it hurts, and desk routines guided by your AirPods.

Physio stretches that actually bring relief.

A few minutes a day, on your iPhone.
