Do you often sit too much at work or study? This app is an epoch-making app that reminds you when you are sitting too much. If you set the time to sit down and the time to rest and stand up, It will notify you using the repeat notification function. According to one researcher, sitting for more than 30 minutes reduces blood flow, slows metabolism, and increases health risks. Please use this app to stand up once every 30 minutes, or once every hour if you can't.
