Description
UP is a simple and effective menu bar application built to put a stop to the sitting epidemic.
Sitting for prolonged amounts of time makes you a prime candidate for heart disease, diabetes and obesity–even if you work out regularly. However, by taking regular breaks, you can reverse these detrimental effects. Standing breaks not only improve your general health, but they also improve the health and function of your neck, back, shoulders, and eyes.
Features:
• Designed to seamlessly integrate with your Mac's Notification Center.
• Pleasant and discreet notification sounds that are great for the office.
• Animated menu bar icon updates as it gets closer to standing time.
• Tips and suggestions to get you up and improve your health.
• Stats to keep track of how many times you've gotten up.
• Optional "Silly Sounds" setting for that added motivation.
• Ability to customize the reminder message.
• Ability to adjust the reminder time.
• Full dark mode support.
• Launch at login option.
What are you waiting for? Take control of your health. Get UP.

Ratings and Reviews
Works great!
I did have a weird issue trying to get this to work at first like KeithMauney. I understand the frustration. I think I had to restart the computer to get it to work or something. Either way, once I got it to work, it works great. You can set the preferences to remind you to get up every 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 mins, 1 hour, or 2 hours. I have mine set at every 50 minutes and love it. I set it up to automatically start when the computer is first turned on. For those of you who don’t know how to do this: System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login Items -> + (add) button -> Search and select UP -> Voilà
Four stars is due to the added effort to get it to work. It shouldn’t be that difficult.
Hopefully whatever the reason it’ll be fixed soon, so it’ll be easier for everyone else in the future.
Apparently, I have to get up now. ;-)
Works best for me
Sitting, they say, is the new smoking. UP faithfully reminds me to get up every 20 minutes (there are other options). I do a simple exerciese, or drink a glass of water (UP suggests that and more). No bugs so far. Love this!
Works well... when it works
Seems to idle out and requires restart to get the timer going again. Not sure I'm mindful enough to get much use out of it.
