The app
Four things that change the day.
Open it in the morning, say how you're moving, and Day2 does the deciding. No streaks to break, and no guilt on the days you can't.
Real screens, captured from the app testers are using today.
A daily companion for living well with Parkinson's. A session matched to how you're moving this morning, food that works with your medication, and a coach in your pocket.
Built by someone living with Parkinson's, and the movement specialist who trains him.
“Thoughtful and person-centred. It recognises that living well with Parkinson’s is about far more than medication alone.”

The situation
Movement is medicine
Structured exercise improves motor and non-motor symptoms and helps medication work better. Almost nobody with Parkinson's has a way to actually do it, at home, on an ordinary Tuesday.

The bit people don't expect
Parkinson's is relentlessly specific and often lonely. Most questions feel too small to trouble a nurse with, and too big to sit with alone.
Marty is built into the app. He knows how you move, what you're working on and where you are, so the answer fits you rather than the internet. He will never discuss medication or doses — that stays with your clinician, and he says so.

New in the app
A freeze in a doorway. The wait for a dose to land. Wide awake at three, with the whole night still to go.
Recharge is what to do while it passes. One short thing at a time — breathing, a way to get your feet moving again, something for the middle of the night. Nothing to read, nothing to score, no streak to break.
Stress may increase motor fluctuations and involuntary movements, so it’s important to try to find ways of staying relaxed.Parkinson’s UK, Dyskinesia and wearing off
Recharge is about rest and confidence, not treatment. Anything to do with medication belongs with your GP or Parkinson’s nurse.
It acknowledges common challenges such as waking in the early hours and the afternoon energy dip... practical, compassionate and designed around the real experiences of people living with Parkinson’s.A Parkinson’s nurse specialistOn Day2

Who's building it
We met at Ed's gym. The rest is history.
Founder
Twenty years in advertising, eight of them as YouTube's Global Head of Brand. Diagnosed with Parkinson's nine years ago. Day2 is the thing he went looking for the week after diagnosis and never found.
Co-founder · Movement
Fifteen years training people with neurological conditions. Every session in Day2 comes from work he has done in a room with real people, on their good days and their off days. He and Matt met at Ed's gym.
Try it
Day2 is in open trial. It's free while we're testing, it runs in your browser on any phone, and it takes about five minutes to set up. There's nothing to download and no card to enter.
Point your phone's camera at the code — Day2 is built for a phone, and the desktop version won't do it justice. Open it in Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android, then add it to your home screen.
There's a short guide with pictures if you'd like the screens explained first.
It isn't finished. Tell us what's wrong with it — that's the part that helps.
