Tech Neck Assist helps you maintain a healthy posture by monitoring your phone's angle in real time using motion sensors. When your device is positioned below a safe angle (typically indicating poor posture), the app sends gentle remindersβ€”even while running in the background. It intelligently stops notifications when your posture improves. With easy service control, background functionality, and proactive alerts, it's the ideal tool for reducing strain from tech usage. Stay mindful of your posture and avoid "tech neck" with this simple yet powerful tool

Ease is the desk posture break companion that pulls you out of the sitting coma every 30-60 minutes with guided 2-minute routines targeting the exact muscles desk work destroys: neck, shoulders, hip flexors, lower back, and wrists. SMART BREAK REMINDERS Set your break interval (30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes) and Ease reminds you when it is time to move. Configure active hours so reminders only fire during work.
