About Sitting Timer
They say that sitting kills. It's important for your health to take breaks from sitting. This smart automatic timer helps you with it.
While the phone is in your front pocket, the app knows when you are sitting and when you're not. It runs in the background so you can normally switch your screen off. It notifies you when it's time for a break.
The app also knows when you are standing or walking. When you stand or walk for a while with the phone still in your pocket, the timer notifies you about the successful break. And the timer resets itself.
And this without touching your phone at all. Just as easy as it should be.
Features:
- Sitting / Walking / Standing detector
- Automatic sitting timer
- "Time for a break" -alarms
- Reminder alarms
- Statistics of the day in a 24-hour clock chart
- Sleep mode
- Configurable
- Hands-free
Sitting Timer is designed for people who keep their phone in their front pocket. While the device is parallel to your thigh, the app finds out if you are sitting or walking by watching the position and movement of the phone. And yes, the app even knows when you are standing!
If you don't keep your phone in your front pocket, you can still use the timer manually.
The app tells you how long you have been sitting and it tells you when it's time to take a break from your chair. And once you stop sitting, the timer stops automatically and starts itself when you take a seat again.
The app also shows your sitting statistics of the day in a 24-hour clock chart.
The maximum sitting time, notification types and reminders are configurable.
Because Sitting Timer app uses only the accelerometer of the phone, the app doesn't need too much power. However, you can choose between three power plans if you'd like to save your battery.

Doesn't work. The alarm never went off, unless you switch on the display.

I tried rotating it all directions and even when I broke into a full run it said I was still sitting.

This app is perfect for anyone who finds themselves sitting too much throughout the day. The sensitivity is spot on, and, though I have the vibration off, the reminders are helpful also. I would give it 5 stars if there was a way to look back on the past week or month, and see what the averages were, and total time spent standing/sitting. I hope you come out with that feature soon!

"Times over 15 minutes are available only in the full version. Would you like to get it now?" You really need to disclose this information somewhere in the description, because this meant an instant uninstall for me. I can't stand every 15 minutes in my job, and health professionals recommend standing 5 minutes each hour, so I'm not sure why 15 minutes would be seen as a valid default setting. I'll gladly pay for your app if it really works for me and my life, but please don't try to trick me into buying it before I can even have a chance to see if it works well for me with a bogus trial product that's not even labeled as such.

I have the pro version and have set the sound to silent but it still makes a noise at the beginning and end of a break. Please can you fix this.

The UI and logging could be improved but it's a clever concept and it does the job really well.

Has good potential but have to pay for longer time than 10mins.. I know you got to make a living man, but really?

The app does what it says. The recommendations I would make is: 1) The ability to set a custom vibration pattern or at least a few different choices. I have a hard time discerning that it is this app buzzing at me and not something else! I suspect that every phone vibrates a little differently so vibration the developer feels may not be what I feel in my pocket. 2) This may seem trivial, but a more attractive icon. I would get rid of the colors on the icon and go with a monochromatic or greyscale design. And change the icon to be something like a stick-man sitting on a clock/timer or a stick-man sitting inside of a timer with his hands/legs as the second and minute arms of the clock.

Would be perfect if would keep track of total time sitting throughout the day. Will purchase if this feature added.

It works pretty well most of the time. Would be great with an option to choose active hours. I can't seem to read exactly what "sleep" does.

I tried 5-10 different apps before I found this app. I liked it so much that I upgraded to full version (very reasonable price) I like that it can tell when you are sitting and standing. Especially the fact that when your sitting it tells you to stand up and when your standing up it detects your taking a break (Can find no other app that does this) I use it while I have my phone on the desk and it reminds me when to move around. Its easy to use and does exactly what its supposed to. Some brains storming ideas for this app -Add an option for a lockdown for this app that will only be disabled if the person actually gets up and moves around

Great app idea! The only of this kind on the market. Still lacks functionality, but I hope it will get developed more soon.

Sometimes says I'm walking when I am, other times I'm walking but says I'm sitting. Been vertical in my pants pocket or shirt pocket or hand. May have been upside down or on its side, but always vertical. If problem is addressed I would love to try it again and adjust my rating!

I am intrigued with this app. It needs some additional features such as picking the volume and the alarm tones. Thanks!

Installed the app on my Samsung Galaxy 4 and can only start and stop the timer. Unable to adjust settings. That choice is grayed out. Uninstalled app. Otherwise, it seemed like it would've worked, just wanted to be able to adjust settings like it says I can.

Would it be possible to have a continuously playing sound / vibration alert feature?
