Desk heights

Desk, seat and monitor heights from your own, sitting and standing, with the ratios named.

It runs entirely in this browser tab: nothing you type is uploaded, and nothing here counts down, rings or records.

Settings

The units
A car's door plate and a garage's gauge often disagree about which one they are in. Choices: {amount} cm, {amount} in.
Show standing too
Standing is not the answer either: what a body wants is to change position, not to stand all day.
Show the monitor
The top of the screen at or just below eye height, which is where a neck stops complaining.

How to use it

  1. Paste your text into the box above, or open a file.
  2. Adjust the settings beside it until the result is what you wanted.
  3. Copy the result, or save it as a file. The result updates as you type.

Questions

Why is there no click counter or reaction timer?
Because both are a button and a clock, and this page is a function from one text to one result. A reaction timer that measured a browser's own scheduling delay would be reporting the wrong number confidently, which is worse than not shipping it. All eight of the group's device tools are named on the hub instead.
Does the break schedule remind me?
No. There is no clock, no notification and no code here that could make one. What it does is write the day out in advance — work, breaks and lunch in the middle of whatever day you gave — so you can print it or put it in a calendar that does ring.
Will the printed ruler be the right size?
It will if your printer does not scale the page, which is what the hundred-millimetre check bar is for: hold a ruler against it. The drawing is an SVG whose width is stated in millimetres, so the size is in the file rather than in the viewer.
Does the decision matrix tell me what to choose?
No, and it says so on every result. It multiplies your scores by your weights, which makes your own judgement visible; a matrix that came out the way you hoped is a matrix you weighted. What it adds is how close the top two were.
