StandCycle - The Standing Desk Timer
Finally use your standing desk, without breaking your flow
# Productivity ToolsWhat is StandCycle - The Standing Desk Timer?
You bought an $800 standing desk, but you still sit 12 hours a day. That's killing you. Sitting +10 hours daily increases heart failure risk by 60%, even if you exercise (Dr. Ezimamaka Ajufo, Mass General Brigham). StandCycle is a browser-based timer that fixes this. It runs a research-backed 45/15/1 protocol (Sit/Stand/Move) to protect your heart and posture without disrupting flow. Free forever. No signup. It's the timer your standing desk has been waiting for. Finally, use what you paid for.
Problem
Users who own standing desks still sit for extended periods (e.g., 12+ hours daily), increasing heart failure risk by 60% and underutilizing their expensive equipment. Current solutions like manual timers fail to enforce research-backed protocols and disrupt workflow.
Solution
A free browser-based timer that automatically enforces the 45/15/1 sit/stand/move protocol (backed by Dr. Ezimamaka Ajufo's research). Users simply open the tool to receive uninterrupted, health-protective reminders without signups.
Customers

Unique Features
Exclusive focus on the 45/15/1 medical protocol, seamless browser integration requiring zero setup, and permanent free access.
