Still Sitting? sends flexible, personality-driven reminders to get you up and moving - on your schedule, not Apple's.
Most of us sit for six, eight, even ten hours a day. Research links prolonged sitting to lower back pain, poor circulation, and chronic fatigue - and that's true even if you work out regularly. Short movement breaks throughout the day aren't optional maintenance. They're what keeps you functional, focused, and out of the chiropractor's office.
You probably already know this. Which is why you turned on Apple's stand reminder.
Here's the problem: Apple's reminder only fires at :50 past the hour. Stand up at 2:01 PM and Apple considers that hour covered. Your next nudge? 3:50 PM. That's nearly two hours of uninterrupted sitting with no reminder - and you'd never know it was happening.
And even when the timing works out, Apple's motion detection doesn't always agree that you stood. It's guessing based on sensors.
Still Sitting? works differently. You set the interval. It fires on that interval. Every time. And it doesn't guess either - you tell it when you stood, and it takes your word for it.
Set reminders every 15 minutes, every 45, every hour - whatever works for you. No forced schedule, no clock-aligned firing.
In a meeting? Just getting started on something? Snooze for 10 minutes or pause until you say so. It'll be there when you need it.
Set a target for how many times you want to stand each day. Reminders stop when you hit it - or keep going, your call.
Build a daily movement habit with streaks that respect your actual schedule. Take weekends off - your streak doesn't break.
Notifications mirror to Apple Watch automatically. Quick actions right from your wrist - stand confirmed, no phone needed.
Everything stays on your device. No sign-up, no tracking, no cloud sync required. Just reminders, privately.
Not everyone responds to the same nudge, day after day. Pick the voice that actually clicks - and keeps you moving.
"Get up. I'm not asking twice."
"Standing for just a minute resets your energy. Let's go."
"You can do it! One stand and you're on your way!"
"Standing protocol initiated. Compliance required."
"It's fine. I'll just wait here. Like always."
"Stand up?? Yes?? Now?? Please?? I'm begging!"
"Hey - just a reminder to stand up, no big deal."
"But WAIT - there's more! Stand now and get FREE energy!"

Android has no meaningful built-in stand reminder at the OS level. Google Fit exists, but most people aren't using it. Samsung Health is Samsung-only. There's a gap - and Still Sitting? is going to fill it.
Finally, a standing reminder app for Android that actually works on your schedule.

Most research points to once every 30 to 60 minutes as the sweet spot. Standing briefly and moving for even one to two minutes is enough to reset circulation and reduce strain. You don't need to run a lap - you just need to not sit continuously for hours.
Unfortunately, yes. Studies show that regular exercise doesn't fully offset the effects of prolonged uninterrupted sitting. Movement needs to be distributed throughout the day, not concentrated into one workout.
It depends on your timing. Apple's built-in reminder only triggers at :50 past each hour. If you already stood up earlier in that hour, Apple considers it done and won't remind you again until near the end of the following hour. If your schedule doesn't align with Apple's clock, you can go nearly two hours without a nudge and never realize it.
If you're using Apple Health's stand reminder, it's likely because you stood at some point earlier in that clock hour. Apple marks the hour complete and skips the reminder - and won't remind you again until near the end of the following hour. And sometimes it just doesn't go off for no particular reason. Still Sitting? runs on your schedule, not Apple's - and when it's time for a reminder, you get one.
The best one is the one you'll actually use because it works when you want it to. Still Sitting? lets you set your own reminder interval - every 30 minutes, every 45, whatever fits your day - and sends reminders consistently regardless of when you last stood.
Still Sitting? isn't a medical device and doesn't give medical advice, but regular movement breaks are consistently recommended by physical therapists and ergonomics experts to reduce the strain that builds up from prolonged sitting. Less continuous sitting generally means less accumulated tension in your lower back and shoulders.
Yes. Reminders are delivered as local notifications - no internet required, no account needed.
