You can choose what days of the week you would like to have the sit stand scheduling active for at the top of the screen by tapping on the corresponding days to turn them white.

 

Please note, you will only get reminders for sitting and standing if you are connected to your desk by bluetooth (to avoid annoying reminders if you are out and about).

 

You can now choose a timeframe of the day you would like to get reminders (the From and Until sliders).

 

You can then choose a timeframe for sitting and standing (Every slider) and then the amount of time you would like to stand in that timeframe (Stand slider).
