## What is PostureGuard?

Poor posture from phone use can lead to neck pain, back strain, and long-term health issues. PostureGuard monitors your posture in real-time and alerts you when you need to adjust - helping you build healthier habits effortlessly.

HOW IT WORKS
Simply hold your phone at eye level. PostureGuard uses your device's sensors to detect when you're slouching or holding your phone too low, then gently reminds you to correct your position.

POSTURE HEATMAP
See exactly where your posture suffers most. PostureGuard records the locations where poor posture is detected and displays them on an interactive heatmap in the Statistics tab. Discover patterns - is it your home office? Your commute? Your favorite coffee shop?

DETAILED STATISTICS
- Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly posture scores
- Trend charts showing your improvement over time
- Session tracking to monitor individual work periods
- Posture distribution pie charts

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
- Choose from Strict, Balanced, or Relaxed sensitivity modes
- Set a custom angle tolerance that fits your needs
- Customize alert colors and messages
- Enable sound, vibration, or both for feedback
- Continuous alert mode for persistent reminders

MULTILINGUAL
Available in 10 languages: English, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, and Arabic.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.0 — 2026-02-21

Small bug fixes for the Japanese language

### 2.1.0 — 2026-02-18

This update brings significant improvements to stability, user interface, and data accuracy:

- IMPROVED STATISTICS & MONITORING:

Duration-Based Tracking: Posture statistics are now calculated based on the exact time spent in good vs. poor posture, replacing the previous event-count system. This ensures your charts accurately reflect your true posture habits (e.g., 95% Good / 5% Poor).

Updated the Pie Chart visualization to clearly display these duration-based percentages.

Refined the Statistics UI, moving the chart legend for better readability.

### 1.9.0 — 2026-02-11

NEW POSTURE HEAT-MAP:

Ever wondered where your posture suffers the most? Now you can find out!

- Identify problematic spots like your home office, commute, or favorite café
- Gain insights to make targeted improvements to your posture habits

### 1.2.0 — 2026-02-01

With this update I'm fixing:
- Custom angle reset to 40° - This is a real bug where the custom tolerance angle wasn't being saved. I'll fix this so your settings persist properly.
- Japanese text formatting - I'll add proper line breaks to the tutorial text and use the correct middle dot separator (・) as you suggested.
- Alert text spacing - I'll add better separation between the alert icon and your custom message for improved readability.
- New mode "continuous alerts": I added this as an optional Alert Mode setting that you can enable to make appears the warning every amount of time you set until you don't assume a correct posture.
