Sitting all day catches up with you. Upster catches you first. Upster is the fun and helpful movement coach that lives on your phone, your wrist, and your home screen. It watches the clock, watches your steps, and refuses to let you marinate in your chair for another hour. HOW IT WORKS • Set your active hours and how long you'll sit before getting nudged (2 hours by default). • Upster watches your movement using Apple Health and Core Motion — on-device. • Sit too long and a chair monster who thinks it owns you sends a nudge. Pick 3, 4, or 5 nudges a day, max. • Stand up, take a short walk, and Upster verifies the break with real movement data. No "tap to dismiss" — your steps reset the timer. • Defeat the chair, move on to the next one. Build streaks, watch your level climb. WHY IT WORKS • Verification keeps you honest. The timer only resets on real movement. • The chair monsters turn a boring habit into a small game. • Calendar awareness (optional) means no nudges mid-meeting. • Nudges only during your active hours. No "stand up" alerts at midnight. WHAT YOU GET • The chair-monster gallery — over 200 hand-illustrated chairs to defeat. • Apple Watch companion with the same timer on your wrist. • Home-screen widget to see your sitting time at a glance. • Custom alternate app icons. • Streaks, weekly recaps, milestones, and a step pedometer. SUBSCRIPTION Upster requires a subscription for full access. Choose annual at $34.99/year (about $2.92/month) or monthly at $7.99/month. Both renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Prices may vary by region. PRIVACY Your step count, motion data, and (optionally) calendar are read on-device and never leave your phone. No account required, and no ads inside the app. We use Meta's SDK to see which of our ads bring people in — your advertising ID is only shared if you allow tracking when iOS asks, and Upster works exactly the same if you say no.
