A bit limited

I have a sit-stand desk and thought this would help remind me to change positions. The fact that it nags every 3 mins is great because the app that came with my desk doesn’t; if you miss the notification it won’t re-prompt.

Where this app falls over is that it only prompts me to stand and doesn’t have a ‘now sit back down’ alarm. (Yes, I know I could just sit at the next alarm but hear me out)…

It needs two things to be perfect:
1. Ability to switch between sitting/standing status and track stats on how long you were sitting vs standing.
2. Ability to set different periods for sitting be standing (e.g. 40 mins sit, 20 mins stand).

A little too simple

There should be no max time. What if I want to stand every 75 minutes? Also, for a paid app, the design is pretty basic.

If you need a timer that fits within an hour maximum, this will probably do the job.

Great!

Just what I was looking for. Simple
reminder to stand up for a few minutes
each work hour. I do wish you could to
set end time for your reminders, but
other than that, no complaints.

Needs an end of day time

I don’t want a reminder after I go to bed

Bogus

This is not what I was expecting from this app I want my money back it doesn’t recommend and activities while standing
