I built something embarrasingly simple. It changed my workday. When COVID began and I started working from home, I as many others, bought a standing desk. $500, height memory, digital display, the works.How much did I actually stand? Maybe 15-20 minutes a day. I just kept forgetting.- Tried phone alarms, annoying, started dismissing them without thinking. - Tried sticky notes, lasted 2 days. - Tried "I'll just remember", never worked.So I built Stao. It's a timer that reminds you to switch positions. That's basically it.I use the 20-8-2 pattern: 20 min sitting, 8 min standing, 2 min moving around (grab water, stretch, whatever). Short cycles so you never get stiff. There's also a 45-15 mode
