About

Move Reminder

Features
Read full description

Sitting all day is silently hurting you. Move Reminder makes sure you never forget to get up. Set a recurring reminder on your schedule — every 60, 90, or 120 minutes — and the app fires a full-screen alarm with a movement suggestion so you actually know what to do when you stand. WHY MOVE REMINDER? Daily streak — track how many consecutive days you moved. Don't break your chain. Movement prompts — squats, shoulder rolls, desk push-ups, calf raises, and 16 more. A different tip every alarm so it never feels repetitive. Make it your own — add your own exercises, remove ones you don't want, or reset to the 20 built-in defaults from the dedicated exercises screen. Weekly stats — see exactly how many times you moved this week and your all-time best streak. Flexible scheduling — set a window (e.g. 9 AM–5 PM), pick your interval, and forget it. Works with any work schedule. Or use one-time mode for a single reminder. Snooze — not quite ready? Delay 10 minutes with one tap. Runs in the background — reminders fire even when the app is closed, with sound and a full-screen alert, just like an alarm clock. Custom alarm tones — six synthesized tones, or set it to random for variety. Dark / light / system theme — follows your device preference automatically. PERFECT FOR - Remote workers and anyone with a desk job - People with standing desks who forget to actually stand - Anyone trying to break sedentary habits without a fitness tracker No account required.
