How it reaches your team

Simple to deploy. Simpler to use.

No app to install. No training required. Kern lives in the browser — your team accesses it in one click.

01
You send a link
We provide a custom Kern URL. Share it via Slack, Teams, email, or intranet. That's the entire rollout.
02
Employees choose if and when
No push notifications, no mandatory reminders. Employees visit when they want a break. No account required unless they want to track personal history.
03
You see aggregate data
Your People dashboard shows team-level trends only: exercise categories, participation rate, wellness trend. No individual data. Ever.
04
Employees keep coming back
Because Kern never pressures them, employees return on their own terms. Personal history and gentle self-competition drive voluntary continued use.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from HR teams

How do employees access Kern? Do they need to install anything? +
No installation required. Kern runs entirely in the browser. Share a custom URL via Slack, Teams, email, or intranet. No account needed unless employees want to save personal history.
Can employees really not be monitored individually? +
Correct. The employer dashboard only receives aggregated, anonymised data. Individual session data never leaves the user's browser in any attributable form. This isn't a policy promise — it's a technical constraint.
What if employees are sceptical about yet another wellness tool? +
Nothing is mandatory. No reminders, no streak pressure, no league tables. The biggest driver of adoption is a colleague saying "have you tried this?" — not management messaging.
Does Kern support employees with ADHD or other cognitive profiles? +
Yes. The library includes both high-stimulation cognitive exercises (better for ADHD profiles) and low-stimulation mindfulness exercises. Personal history helps each user discover what works for them.
What languages is Kern available in? +
13 languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Korean — with full UI and game localisation including the word puzzles.
Is there a minimum contract length? +
No. All plans include a 30-day free trial, then billed monthly or annually. You can cancel at any time.
