About this app

Transform your standing desk into a productivity tool with Stao — your personal reminder to sit, stand, and move throughout the workday.

WHY STAO?

Owning a standing desk is just the first step. The real benefit comes from alternating between sitting, standing, and taking movement breaks. Stao helps you build this habit effortlessly.

KEY FEATURES

◆ Smart Sit-Stand Reminders
Customizable timers remind you when to raise or lower your desk. Set your own intervals or use recommended durations.

◆ Clean, Calming Design
A warm, minimal interface that doesn't distract from your work. No clutter, no stress.

◆ Flexible Scheduling
Pause during meetings, adjust timers on the fly, or set quiet hours. Stao adapts to your workday, not the other way around.
