Lazybones

'Warns when you have been sat still for too long.'

  • Spending too much time sat down is destructive to our health and fitness.
  • Lazy bones checks the step count every minute and if this has not changed after 26 minutes the buzzer will sound and a pop up screen will show.
  • It gives 3 warnings before giving up
  • Standing up and walking around until the step counting threshold is reached will automatically dismiss the warning.
  • When the warning is not displaying the apps is a simple clock
  • The timer only goes off between the hours 9am to 9pm.
  • The app is a basic proof of concept that can be used in other clocks
  • A settings menu may be added in a future release

Dedication

This is app is dedicated in memory of my friend, Huw Evans 1960-2019, poet, writer, actor, archiologist, technical author, husband, father, friend.

In May 2017, Huw Evans received a terminal cancer diagnosis. Not Long Now is his response to that diagnosis and the drastic shortening of his life expectancy. Not Long Now is a one-man show, which uses poetry, story-telling, puppetry and video to address one basic question: given we are all going to die, how then shall we live?

Why the Skull ?

The Skull is a Memento mori (Latin for 'remember that you [have to] die') is an artistic or symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death.

Let us choose not to die from sitting too long.
