According to Harvard Health Publications, more than half of the average person’s waking hours are spent sitting: watching television, working at a computer, commuting, or doing other physically inactive pursuits. But all that sitting could be sending us to an early grave—even those folks who exercise up to an hour a day. If Americans would cut their sitting time in half, their life expectancy would increase by roughly: + 2 years (by reducing sitting to less than 3 hours a day) + 1.4 years (by reducing TV time to less than 2 hours a day) The Stand Up Reminder is the break timer app which helps you to stand more at office, at home, reminds you to stand up at the right time, tracks all the time you stood, calculates calories burned during your standing. And the most important thing: helps you to form a new habit of standing and moving instead of sitting. Features: * Start Counting Immediately * Play Music/Spotfiy along with Stand Up * Set Daily Goal Of Your Standing * Unlimited Reminders With Multiple Sounds * Set Your Own Reminder Interval * Set Your Own Standing Time * Track Daily Standing Time * Record Standing Time In Piece * Multiple Theme Colors * Background Mode

Blood pressure tracker and pulse logbook—without an account. Log cuff SYS/DIA (manual entry or OCR of a digital monitor screen). Optionally estimate heart rate with fingertip camera PPG. PPG does not measure blood pressure. Readings stay on this iPhone; no sign-in, no cloud health upload. WHY BEATIO • Built as a hypertension / BP diary, not a “phone blood-pressure camera” • Monitor OCR: photograph the cuff display or pick a library photo, then confirm SYS/DIA/pulse • Manual log in seconds: systolic, diastolic, pulse, tags, notes • Fingertip PPG: torch + camera heart-rate (BPM) estimate only • Charts and AHA-style stage labels on confirmed cuff readings • Optional daily measurement reminders • Extra on-device profiles and PDF report preview/share (Pro) • No ads, no IDFA. Purchase validation uses Apple’s systems so Pro stays in sync—health records never leave the device FREE VS PRO Free includes 3 successful PPG heart-rate estimates and 2 confirmed OCR saves. Pro unlocks unlimited PPG/OCR, additional on-device profiles, 30-day / 90-day / all-time analytics, and PDF export/sharing. Profiles are local to this device, not separate accounts. Storefront prices and any free trial follow the in-app paywall and your Apple ID eligibility. Subscriptions and lifetime purchases are billed by Apple and may auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage in App Store account settings. LANGUAGES English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean IMPORTANT Beatio is a personal logbook and wellness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care. SYS/DIA come only from your confirmed cuff readings. Always consult a qualified clinician for medical decisions.
