"Sitting at a desk for at least eight hours a day is the reality for most remote workers today. But what if you could keep moving while working? That's exactly the question that inspired Johannes Kettmann, a software developer from Berlin who knows firsthand the challenge of hitting those 10,000 steps per day while working a remote desk job. The result is the Office Walker, a minimalist walking pad designed for simplicity, silence, and long-lasting durability."
"Its walking surface measures 17.7 inches wide (450 mm) and the entire pad weighs 55 lb (25 kg), including a set of integrated front wheels for easy handling. It's designed for convenient storage whenever you don't need it: tuck it under a couch or bed, or lean it against the wall. At 5.5 inches (140 mm) at its lowest point, it's compatible with most standing desks. It also works well whether you prefer walking in shoes or barefoot."
"Minimalistic design is one of its greatest advantages: the device simply follows your pace and stops whenever you do, whether you need a moment to focus or make a precise move with your computer mouse. In a world where almost every piece of your home furniture is "smart" and needs to be plugged in, charged, or controlled with your phone, having something purely manual, simple, and always ready to go could feel quite refreshing."
Sitting for eight hours a day reduces daily step counts for many remote workers, so a compact walking pad enables movement while working. The Office Walker features a 17.7-inch-wide walking surface, weighs 55 lb (25 kg), and includes integrated front wheels for handling and storage under furniture or against a wall. At 5.5 inches (140 mm) thickness it fits most standing desks and supports barefoot or shoe use. Soft-touch, disassemblable slats provide a more comfortable, durable surface and can be replaced; spare parts and a repair guide are planned. The device operates silently and follows user pace, stopping when the user pauses.
