Everything you need to build a real standing habit
Most standing desk owners use their desk as an expensive regular desk. Standmo fixes that. It tracks your sit / stand sessions automatically, shows you the stats, and nudges you at exactly the right moment — all from the Mac menu bar.

Works with any brand of standing desk

Features
Simple by design. Effective by habit.
Automatic sit/stand reminders
Set your preferred standing and sitting durations. Standmo counts down silently and sends a macOS notification the moment it's time to switch — no manual tracking needed.
Daily & weekly statistics
See exactly how much time you spent standing vs. sitting each day and week. Real data helps you build a consistent ergonomic routine over time.
Custom session lengths
Everyone's work rhythm is different. Set your own sit and stand intervals — whether that's 20/40 minutes or 45/15 — and Standmo adapts to your schedule.
Color-coded menu bar icon
Glance at the menu bar and instantly know your current state. The icon changes color between sitting and standing — no numbers needed if you prefer a clean bar.
Auto-pause on screen lock
Step away from your desk? Standmo automatically pauses your session when the screen locks and resumes when you return — keeping your stats accurate.
Always-on menu bar presence
No dock clutter, no distracting windows. Standmo runs entirely from your Mac menu bar so it's always one glance away without interrupting your flow.
Designed to stay out of your way
Standmo lives entirely in your menu bar. No dock icon, no full-screen windows, no interruptions. Just a quiet timer that keeps you on track while you stay focused on your work.

"The app is nice looking and provides simple buttons to start a sitting or standing session, with the ability to keep track of the time passed in each. You also have a history of previous sessions, this is really nice and I love that feature."
