Standflow is a macOS menu bar app that reminds you to alternate between sitting, standing, perching, and moving throughout your workday.
A standing desk only helps if you actually change positions. Standflow sits quietly in your menu bar, keeps track of your rhythm, and tells you when it's time to switch.
In your menu bar
- Live progress ring: a small ring or pie fills up as the current interval goes by, with the time left next to it.
- One-click controls: open the popover to see your live cycle with Start, Pause, Skip and +5 min.
- Daily standing goal: follow your progress without opening any window.
Reminders that don't get in the way
When an interval ends, a compact alert lets you start the next posture, stay a few more minutes, or get reminded in 5.
Your rhythm, your way
- Four postures: sitting, standing, perching on a tall stool, and moving. Perching and moving are optional.
- Presets to get started:
- Easy Start: 30 min, based on the 20-8-2 sit/stand/move guideline
- Balanced: 60 min
- Posture Trio: 90 min, with perching
- Each interval lasts 1 to 60 minutes. Drag the rhythm ring in Settings to move minutes between postures.
Metrics
See your time per posture for the last 7, 30 or 90 days as a chart or a table, along with your posture mix, the days you reached your goal, and how often you change posture.
Private by design
No account, no tracking, no cloud sync. Your settings and history stay on your Mac and you can clear them any time.
Requirements: macOS 13 or later, Apple Silicon. Free on the Mac App Store.
