Stand Reminder checks if you are busy with your computer and reminds you to stand when the preset time comes. This will avoid you from the side effects of the long time sitting.

How It Works

Stand Reminder through checking if you have used the keyboard or the mouse/touchpad in some certain time, to know if you are busy with your computer. The default check interval is 2 minutes and the default reminder time length is 45 minutes. For example:

When a user starts to use its computer, Stand Reminder starts checking, if the user has no keyboard or mouse/touchpad operations, Stand Reminder will think the user is not using the computer and the counter will reset to zero. If the user is busy all the time, after 45 minutes, Stand Reminder will alert the user to stand up and have a rest. If the user is busy again after the counter reset to zero, Stand Reminder will counter the time again automatically.
