About this app

The features available depend on your desk system.

Pick your personal challenge for standing at your desk and improve your health and work habits over time. Choose between 3 challenges (or create your own) and follow your progress on your smartphone through elaborate statistics. Let the app remind you when to stand.

Pairing via Bluetooth® wireless technology allows you to drive the desk up/down and set your favourite position. The LINAK® Desk Control™ App works with LINAK desk systems using either of the DPG Desk Panels: DPG1M, DPG1B, or DPG1C. Also LINAK systems with a Bluetooth® Adaptor (BLE2LIN002) apply.

For Android phones, GPS location needs to be activated to enable the app to scan for Bluetooth® devices.

Features:
- Easy pairing of desk and mobile device through Bluetooth® wireless technology
- Fast onboarding with intuitive built-in guide
- Set favourite sit and stand positions
- Set your own goal – time standing, etc.
- Display your statistics
- Automatic drive to favourite positions
- Stand reminders based upon your chosen challenge
- Auto-connect when you arrive at your desk

Ratings and reviews

Does what it says on the box: it lets you control your desk. Easy to setup and use. My complaint is that it tries to run all the time in the background with a precistent "[dis]connected to your desk" notification that sticks around even when not connected. It's easy enough to go into system setting to disable background activity and notifications, but it should be opt-in, not opt-out to using my precious battery and notification space when I'm not using the app.

Stupid interface. I don't want a fitness tracker, I just want a way to control my standing desk, but this app insists on being a fitness tracker. If I wanted a fitness tracker, I'd use one of the many infinitely better fitness tracker apps out there. This app is called "Desk Control" and yet the "desk control" functionality seems like an after-thought, and it doesn't even work. It's buggy as hell. Can't save more than one favorite position. It does let you control the desk remotely so I guess that's something?

UPDATE- still not working. When I try to use app to lift desk the icon just spins and "thinks." Seriously the most worthless app ever. It's backwards! The controls work most if the time for raising and lowering the desk. Some times it just sits there and thinks and I have to close down the app to reset it. But EVERY time after I lower it I get a notification that it's time to stand up. I've already been standing for 30 minutes to an hour already.
