Shrimposture

Stop sitting like a shrimp. You know that slow curl at your desk. Shoulders rounding, neck creeping forward, back hunched into a question mark by 3pm. Shrimposture is the friendly, ridiculously simple way to undo it, straighten up, and finally build a posture habit that sticks. Meet Shrimpy: a little shrimp who sits up tall when you do, and slumps right along with you when you don't. It's posture coaching that actually makes you smile instead of nag. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • A 4-week posture plan. Follow a guided path from Foundations to Activation, Strengthening, and Integration. Each day is a short, illustrated routine of desk-friendly stretches (chin tucks, shoulder blade squeezes, chest openers, cactus pulls, wall angels, Y-T-W raises, seated cat-cow and more). Most moves are done right in your chair, and holds gently ramp up as you progress. • Sit mode. Start a sitting session and watch the posture ring drain as Shrimpy slowly curls. It nudges you to get up and move at your own interval, tracks your time seated, breaks taken, and longest sit, and even credits you automatically when it notices you've walked around. • Gentle reminders. Opt-in "sit up straight" and "time to move" nudges that keep you honest through the workday, with a Live Activity so your session lives on your lock screen. • Streaks that forgive you. Build a daily streak, with built-in rest days so one busy day doesn't wipe out your progress. Share your streak card with friends. • Simple progress, no guilt. Quick 5-level feeling check-ins and a clean calendar show how you're doing over time. No confusing scores, no shame, just momentum. BUILT FOR DESK LIFE Whether you work from a laptop, a standing desk, or the couch, Shrimposture fits into your day in a couple of minutes. Perfect for anyone who wants to fix their posture, undo the tech-neck hunch, and feel taller and less stiff. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No ads. Your progress lives on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud, so we can't see it. Analytics are fully anonymized.
