Everything Standro can do

Gentle reminders that work with your flow. Smart, flexible, and private.

Gentle reminders that work with you

Reminders designed to help, not annoy.

Science-backed intervals

Choose reminder intervals that fit your workflow:

  • - 15 min — For intense focus sessions
  • - 30 min — Balanced productivity (recommended)
  • - 45 min — Extended work periods
  • - 60 min — Minimal interruption mode

Smart notifications

Clean, non-intrusive reminders:

  • - 9 rotating messages to avoid reminder fatigue
  • - Native macOS notifications
  • - Optional "Menu Bar Only" mode for silent reminders
  • - Auto-dismiss after 2 minutes — no pile-up

Work on your schedule

Standro respects your time — on and off the clock.

Active hours

Set your working hours (e.g., 9 AM - 6 PM). No reminders during morning coffee or evening relaxation.

Weekdays only

Skip reminders on Saturday and Sunday. Your weekends stay uninterrupted.

Snooze & pause

Snooze for 5 minutes, pause for 1 hour, or resume anytime. You're always in control.

Smart Mode

Intelligent reminders that know when you're away.

Idle detection

Smart Mode detects when you step away:

  • - No reminders while you're already up
  • - Automatic grace period when you return (5, 10, or 15 min)
  • - Configurable idle threshold (2, 3, 5, or 10 min)

Privacy-first design

No tracking, no spying:

  • - Uses macOS system idle time only
  • - No keylogging or screen monitoring
  • - Completely opt-in (disabled by default)

Focus Mode integration

Standro automatically detects macOS Focus Mode. No popups, no sounds during Do Not Disturb. The menu bar icon still updates silently, and reminders resume when Focus ends.

Works with all Focus Modes: Do Not Disturb, Work, Personal, Sleep, and custom modes.

Global keyboard shortcuts

Control Standro from anywhere without switching apps.

Toggle Start/Stop Cmd Shift S
Snooze 5 minutes Cmd Shift Z
Pause 1 hour Cmd Shift P

All shortcuts are fully customizable in preferences.

Menu bar integration

Standro lives in your menu bar with color-coded status:

Gray — Stopped
Blue — Running
Green — Time to stand!
Orange — Snoozed
Purple — Paused

Sound notifications

Optional gentle audio cues using built-in macOS sounds:

- Glass (default) — Soft, pleasant chime
- Pop — Subtle bubble sound
- Tink — Light tap
- Submarine — Deeper tone

Preview sounds before selecting. Respects Focus Mode.
