Please make compatible with apple health/Apple Watch

It does what it is meant to, but it would be awesome if it could sync with the Apple Watch or Apple health so that it can pick up when you’re up and for how long. Manually resetting the timer every time I get up is really annoying!

Better than Apple Watch coaching

I can’t always meet Apple Fitness’ schedule of standing in the last 10 minutes of every hour. This app lets me do it when I want, and reset the timer at that point. I’ve been searching for something like this for a long time. Right now, I’m also using it to stay hydrated - getting a glass of water at each notification

Fantastic app for WFH!

Since working from home I haven’t been moving around as much during the day even though I workout and try to walk every day. This handy little app is reminding me to get up and move from my desk more. I set a reminder to move every 25 minutes, from 9am until 6pm. My step count has improved I’m nearly hitting 10,000 steps a day!

Reminder to stand

I use this even if I am standing to be active regularly. It really works for me

Stand Up

I do a lot of computer work and have realized over time that I never stand up soon enough my daughter recommended this app I downloaded it and it is so helpful it is a gentle reminder for me to get up and walk and then come back and work I would recommend it to anyone who is fairly sedentary and needs just a little reminder to get up. 🧍‍♀️

Exactly what I was looking for

A few years ago, I bought a Fitbit because I wanted the reminder to move feature. Unfortunately, it would only remind you to move if you hadn’t taken 100 steps in an hour. You could not customize it in any way. I wanted a reminder to move 15 minutes before the hour was up so I could hit my hourly step goal of 250 steps.

Finally this app basically does just that. Reminds me 15 minutes before the hour to stand for 15 minutes. I plan on walking for those minutes, but it gets the job done.

The free notification sound is short, but for .99 tip, you unlock all the ringtones. I’ll donate more later when I see how it works.

Thanks

Wonderful / request

I think the app is wonderful. Easy to use. I would make some requests. Perhaps an ability to fill in missed notices. As an example I was on my feet cleaning all day so I missed the notifications to stand. But it thinks I did not. 😅 Not a huge issue as what matters is I was up.

Also I would like to request some purple color schemes. Otherwise the app is great and everything I was looking for.

Excellent app for a reminder.

I use this app to remind me to look away feom the computer screen while working.

It’s getting me up and moving

I really need something to get me moving. Halfway into my first day and it’s working. I’m trying to figure out how many breaks, how long the breaks need to be and how many steps I can squeeze in to (hopefully) get to my goal of 10K steps a day. Long way off - but maybe it’s possible. I’m also using the prompt to remind myself to hold my tummy in. Fingers crossed.

So very very helpful

Really easy to set up, really easy to adjust, well-thought-out options. I've been using Stand Up for about a month. I was afraid I would start to ignore or resent it, but in fact being reminded to come to the surface and move around feels more and more like an essential treat. I'm in so much less pain than I was when I would get absorbed and sit in some hunched over position for hours and hours every day...who knew!
