## What is HeadUp?

Core Features
AirPods™-powered tracking
Uses the motion sensors built into supported AirPods (3rd gen, Pro & Max) to detect forward-head tilt with millimeter precision.

Real-time alignment alerts
Gentle haptic taps or notifications whenever you slump or crane forward.

Adaptive sensitivity
Fine-tune your tilt threshold and reminder cadence for desk work, reading, or gaming.

Session & trend analytics
Track how long you stayed aligned, count of poor-posture events, and view weekly/monthly progress charts.

Quick-fix routines (NEW)
Two-minute, physio-designed stretches and strengthening flows you can start even when your AirPods are tucked away.

Why HeadUp?
Prevent “tech neck”
Subtly retrain your head posture before aches set in.
