Most standing desks ship with a keypad and stop there. An app-controlled desk adds a screen you already have in your pocket, and that changes how often you actually move. The Livtab CyberOne line pairs a dedicated mobile app with the desk: adjust height, save presets, and manage smart features. This guide spells out what that means in practice, so you know whether the app is a real upgrade or just another icon.
What the App Actually Controls
The CyberOne mobile app does three jobs that matter, and everything else is a variation on them.
1. Adjust Height
Raise and lower the desktop straight from your phone, no reaching for a keypad. Useful when your hands are full or the desk is behind a monitor wall.
2. Save and Recall Presets
Presets are what change behaviour. The CyberOne stores 10 custom height presets across a 29"-47" (73-120 cm) range.
- Save a seated height and a standing height, then switch with one tap.
- Ten presets mean you can also save a "second user" height, a "desk work" height, and a "calls" height.
- More presets give you more reasons to change position during the day.
3. Manage the Smart Features
The app is the control surface for the modules you add to the desk:
- Music-sync RGB lighting: switch modes and let the light follow the audio.
- Pop-up Bluetooth speakers: control playback and the rise/retract behaviour.
- Heating and cooling coaster: set the drink temperature from the app. (Third-party sources also list voice control via Google Assistant and Alexa, and app control of the coaster and speaker lift; treat these as third-party claims pending official confirmation.)
App vs. Keypad
- Height up/down: both.
- Save presets: keypad saves a few; the app exposes all 10 clearly.
- Lighting and audio modes: keypad cannot; app can.
- Drink temperature: keypad cannot; app can.
- Hardware limits (load, travel, noise): neither can change. Those are the desk itself.
What Stays Hardware
The app does not make the desk stronger, quieter, or faster. Those come from the frame: triple motors with a 385 lb (175 kg) capacity, roughly 55 dB during adjustment, and anti-collision that stops and backs off if it meets an obstacle. Choose the frame first, then let the app make it easier to use.
Is the App Worth Using?
- You switch between sitting and standing more than twice a day -> yes, presets pay off.
- You run two or more smart modules (RGB, speakers, coaster) -> yes, one control surface beats three remotes.
- You only ever sit, or only ever stand -> the keypad is enough.
- You share the desk with someone else -> ten presets settle the argument once.
FAQ
- Do I need the app to use the desk? No. Height control works from the keypad; the app adds convenience and module control.
- How many presets can I save? Ten custom height presets, across a 29"-47" range.
- Can the app control the lighting and speakers? Yes. The app manages the music-sync RGB lighting and the pop-up Bluetooth speakers.
- Can the app change the weight limit or speed? No. Capacity (385 lb) and noise (~55 dB) are set by the triple-motor frame.
See What the App Can Do
The CyberOne Modular pairs a triple-motor frame with the Livtab app, so height, ten presets, and every smart module live in one place. Build your configuration and put the control in your pocket.
