I have been working on an iOS/MacOS app that reminds me to stand up and/or take breaks at certain intervals. It's using the iPhone's camera and local computer vision to collect ground truth.

Drop me an email at "hello at danylo dot me", if you would like to beta test with me. Or watch an informal demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvzHrwjU9TU

I just put an hourglass on my desk, but out of reach. Sand runs out, get up to flip it. One nice feature is that it makes no noise so if I'm in a meeting and can't get up or attend to it, it isn't disrupting anything or interrupting anyone. Getting into the habit of looking up at it from time to time is also good for the eyes.

I would love something like this that also checked if you were mouth breathing and gave you a reminder to breath through the nose.
