Good with room for improvement

I use it solely as a timer. The Dynamic Island integration does not properly function, it does not show the timer as it is in the app. The statistics of the ongoing day at not updated live, so if you are trying to check the current day it’s not possible it seems. Notifications telling me to change position with good. I like it

Response from developer

Thank you for enjoying the app! Sorry about the bugs you mentioned, ill look into it and have a fix ready for you soon! Thanks again!

Need more flexibility in setting intervals

Not a review, but a feature request, as there is no feedback functionality in the app or on the website.

I would like more flexibility in setting the time lengths for sitting and standing. At the moment, it’s limited to 30 minutes for standing and 60 minutes for sitting. Adjusting my standing desk is a bit more involved than a typical model, and so it’s a bit annoying to adjust it at the frequency allowed by this app. Honestly, If I had realized this before I purchased this on the Mac App Store, I wouldn’t have bought it.
