Rise. Protect Your Circulation.
TATSU is a minimalist macOS app that reminds you to stand up regularly.
It was born from a simple problem: Sitting too long damages your body.
This app focuses on one thing only:
Interrupt static pressure.
Modern life keeps us seated.
- Long coding sessions
- Remote work
- Endless meetings
- Deep focus blocks
Prolonged sitting reduces circulation and increases physical stress, especially in the lower body.
TATSU exists to gently break that inertia.
Stand. Restore blood flow. Reset your posture. Continue.
TATSU is built around a simple idea:
Standing is not a fitness action. It is a reset.
No gamification. No calorie tracking. No noise.
Just a quiet reminder to rise.
- ⏱ Configurable stand interval
- 🔔 Native macOS notification support
- 🧘 Minimalist Zen-inspired design
- 🐉 Subtle symbolic visuals (Enso × Rising line)
The icon represents:
- Circle = Stillness / Pressure
- Vertical line = Rise / Release
Black background × Thin white line.
Minimal. Intentional. Focused.
- Developers
- Remote workers
- Deep-focus professionals
- Anyone who sits too long
This is an early prototype.
Currently runs locally on macOS. Future improvements may include:
- Apple Watch sync
- Health data integration
- Smart activity detection
- Advanced reminder logic
