If you work at a desk (like me), or are in school and spend lots of time doing homework (also like me), standing up is an easy way to become just a little bit healthier each day. Getting up and walking around for even just one minute (100 steps) during an hour counts as a "stand hour." Stand Hours reads your step data from the Health app, which means it works with any fitness tracker that supports Apple Health (including the iPhone's built-in pedometer). Stand Hours also gives you hourly push notification reminders to get up and move around. The days and times that you receive these notifications are completely customizable. In addition to reading steps from Apple Health, Stand Hours can (optionally) export your stand hours to Apple Health. Yes, Apple Health has a metric called "Stand Hours," but that can only be used by the Apple Watch. Instead, this app can store your stand hours as ANY activity metric in Apple Health - such as an empty one that you don't use. It's a great way to see this data in the Health app, even if you don't have an Apple Watch! ## Key features - Hourly stand reminders - Customizable notification times - Reads step data from Apple Health - Exports stand hours to Apple Health - Works with any Apple Health-compatible tracker ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | $2.99 Donation | $2.99 | one-time | | $0.99 Donation | $0.99 | one-time | | $4.99 Donation | $4.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 12) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/stand-hours/id1330429041/reviews.md ### 5/5 — New user *2025-04-30* Found this cool free app measuring stand hours to feed into my Apple Health app on my iPhone! Apple claimed I could only use a $5.99 app to do this! Stand hours with minimal movement added to actual aerobic walking or running are important bc sitting is a less healthy option. Thanks for this app!!! ❤️ ### 1/5 — Never records *2024-10-06* This app never records until I open it. I expected it to record stand hours when I wasn’t wearing my watch, but falls short of that expectation unless I keep opening it. Uninstalling ### 3/5 — Needs watch complication *2023-12-22* Needs a watch complication. ### 5/5 — Nice that you can choose your days plus start and end times *2022-02-23* I never wear my Apple Watch on the weekends. The reminders to stand are great on my days off if I’m sitting around on my phone. Lol! Good to be reminded every hour to stop that. Ha. Ha. I donated too. Thank you for this nice app. ### 4/5 — Nice but could be better *2021-01-27, version 1.2.1* Give more intuitive UI ### 5/5 — Very nice app, thank you Nick *2020-05-10, version 1.1.1* I was looking for such an app from a long time Its a clean, addfree and secure app. Thank you Nick foster Keep doing the good work 😀 ### 1/5 — Can’t adjust reminders *2018-08-29* Can’t adjust reminders **Developer response:** Hey Beneatnwheaties!

Sorry for such a delayed response. Hope you have a great day. ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2018-02-22* Stand hours does what it says. It records your stand hours for you, and it works. It’s simple, easy to use, and a great app. I’ll be changing my rating to 5 stars once theres been some improvements to layout and design! EDIT - with the recent notifications update, my rating has increased to 5 stars. The redesign has made the app far simpler and easy to use. Great Job! ### 5/5 — Easy to use, motivating *2018-01-06* Great app. It’s a free way to use an Apple watch feature on your iPhone. Super useful if you’re feeling lazy but want to start taking care of your body ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-01-05* It helps you see how long you actually stand for. I’ve found this app to be helpful for me! ## Frequently asked questions about Stand Hours ### How does Stand Hours track my activity?
