Your AirPods already know when you slouch. Posture Alert just tells you. No camera. No wearable to buy. No sensor to strap on. Posture Alert reads the motion sensors already inside your AirPods, learns how you sit when you sit well, and gives you a gentle nudge the moment you drift out of it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pop in your AirPods and sit the way you want to sit. 2. Tap Start. That posture becomes your baseline. 3. Slouch for longer than your chosen hold time and you get a nudge — a sound, a notification, or both. WHAT YOU GET • Live posture tracking that runs quietly in the background • Nudges you can tune — how far you can lean, and how long before it speaks up • 20-20-20 eye breaks: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds • Lock Screen Live Activity showing your status and elapsed time at a glance • Built-in reminder sounds, or record your own instead of another generic beep • A full history of every session, grouped by day • Progress charts: your posture over time, when you slouch most, how long you last BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY Everything runs on your device. Your posture data never leaves your iPhone — there is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. Start a session, put the phone down, and get on with your work. REQUIRES AIRPODS Posture Alert needs AirPods (3rd generation or later), AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, or Beats with motion sensors. It cannot measure your posture without them.
