About

SitReset

Features
Read full description

SitReset is a simple timer that gently lets you know when you've been sitting too long. A pocket-watch dial shows how long you've been sitting. The longer you sit, the more the dial and the time shift from green to orange to red. When you stand up, just tap "Stood Up · Reset." No complicated features. WHAT IT DOES • See how long you've been sitting at a glance on a pocket-watch dial • Get a notification when you've sat longer than you chose. Right from the notification, pick "Stood Up · Reset," "Remind Me in 10 Minutes," or "Not Today" • Set your working days and hours, and notifications arrive only then • During working hours, see your sitting time on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (iPhone) • Look back on today: how many times you stood up, your longest stretch, and a chart of your day • On Mac, your sitting time stays in the menu bar. Click it to reset right away • Keeps accurate time from when you sat down, even when the app is closed PRICING Free to download. Every feature is free for 14 days. After that, a one-time purchase is needed to keep using SitReset; until then, the timer and all other features stop working. No subscription. Buy once and use it on both iPhone and Mac with the same Apple Account. PRIVACY No account needed. Your records stay on your device and are never sent anywhere. iPhone and Mac each keep their own records and don't sync.
