StandUp

StandUp is a private, offline-first desktop companion by ioiostudio. It counts active computer time and shows a silent, click-through animated reminder to stand and move.

The v2 branch is migrating StandUp from Electron to Tauri 2. The Electron source remains temporarily as a parity reference; v2 builds use the Rust backend in src-tauri.

v2 targets

• Windows 10/11 x64 with an NSIS installer
• Apple Silicon macOS 12 or newer with a DMG

StandUp v2 does not contain an updater, analytics, telemetry, accounts, ads, remote assets, HTTP client, localhost server, or runtime network calls.

Current v2 foundation

• 45-minute default reminder interval with 15/30/45/60/90/120-minute choices
• Configurable 1/2/3/5/10-minute idle cutoff
• Rust-owned in-memory timer and local settings
• Launch at login enabled by default
• Tray/menu-bar controls for pause, resume, preview, settings, and quit
• Fresh, always-on-top, non-focusable, click-through popup for every reminder, shown only after the GIF has loaded and decoded
• Nine reminder positions and automatic/specific monitor selection
• Local creative prompt builder for making a custom GIF with any AI provider
• Secure native custom-GIF picker with validation, sanitizing re-encode, private storage, preview, and reset to the built-in animation
• Silent-by-default system beep, one-second soft chime, and two-second gentle chime with sound testing
• Per-window Tauri capabilities and a strict local-only CSP
• Single-instance behavior

See V2_MIGRATION.md for the remaining work before v2 is release-ready, including foreground-app blacklisting and platform smoke tests.

Development

Windows prerequisites:

• Node.js 22 or newer
• Rust stable with the MSVC toolchain
• Microsoft C++ Build Tools with Desktop development with C++
• Microsoft Edge WebView2

Install and validate:

npm install
npm test
npm run typecheck
npm run build:web
cargo test --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml

Run the Tauri development application:

npm run dev

Build installers:

npm run dist:win
npm run dist:mac

The macOS command must run on Apple Silicon macOS. GitHub Actions uses native Windows x64 and Apple Silicon macOS runners.

Installer warnings

Development installers are unsigned:

• Windows SmartScreen may display an “unrecognized app” warning.
• macOS Gatekeeper may require Control-clicking the app, choosing Open, and confirming the first launch.

Production distribution should use Windows code signing and Apple Developer ID signing/notarization.

Privacy

Preferences are stored only in the operating system’s per-user application-data directory. Active-time progress remains in memory and resets after the app restarts. The default animation is packaged inside the application.
