Sit. Stand.
Move. Repeat.

Flamingo lives quietly in your menu bar and walks you through the 20-8-2 cycle. Twenty minutes sitting, eight standing, two moving. Your back will notice.

The 20-8-2 cycle

A rhythm your body already knows

Research shows that alternating between sitting, standing, and light movement is one of the most effective ways to reduce the harm of sedentary work. Flamingo makes it automatic.

20
minutes
Sit

Focused, uninterrupted work. Get in the zone.

8
minutes
Stand

Same work, new posture. Small shift, real benefit.

2
minutes
Move

Walk a lap. Stretch it out. Then back to sitting.

Why Flamingo

Quiet. Effective.
Native.
