LINAK

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.

Android: after recent update, had to to uninstall & reinstall the app for the app to believe the desk was there, even though the phone showed the desk paired via Bluetooth. PS: tried power cycling desk, "forgetting" the Bluetooth connection, factory resetting the desk...all to no avail. Also, despite the update, have to press and hold the saved respective "favorite height" button for the deak to ascend to the selected height. Should be a one-touch feature, not a press-n-hold requirement.

Works as described with a newly setup IKEA IDASEN desk. Three suggestions: 1) Default to the Control screen, not Challenges which I don't use. 2) Allow one press settings when using favorites. Currently you need to hold the button as if you were holding the physical switch until it reaches the favorited height. 3) Add Widgets to quickly select favorites.
