SynoPosture helps you monitor your head posture in real time using supported AirPods and Beats headphones. It is designed for work, study, gaming, and long desk sessions where neck strain can build up quietly over time. Using Apple’s headphone motion data, SynoPosture tracks pitch, roll, and yaw and shows your head orientation with a live 3D viewer. When your head stays below your selected posture threshold for too long, the app can send a gentle reminder so you can return to a healthier position. Key Features * Real-time head orientation tracking * Live 3D posture viewer * Adjustable posture sensitivity * Configurable reminder delay * Smart posture alerts * Cooldown protection to reduce repeated notifications * Background-aware timer handling * Live Activities and Dynamic Island support * Apple Watch companion app * Real-time iPhone and Apple Watch sync * Watch haptics and manual refresh controls * VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, and accessibility support Apple Watch Companion SynoPosture includes an Apple Watch app that mirrors posture values from your iPhone and helps you stay informed from your wrist. It supports real-time posture data, refresh controls, haptic feedback, and resilient syncing between devices. Live Activities When posture monitoring is active, SynoPosture can show a live countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, helping you follow posture alerts without opening the app. Background Support SynoPosture is built to keep posture sessions consistent through foreground and background transitions. Session state is saved locally so reminders and timer behavior remain reliable. How It Works 1. Connect supported AirPods or Beats headphones. 2.

Notice when your head drifts while you work or study. PostureSense turns motion from compatible AirPods into live posture feedback and adjustable slouch reminders. Build awareness of your sitting posture during desk work and focus sessions. Sign in, connect compatible AirPods, and follow a five-second calibration to set your comfortable neutral position. LIVE POSTURE FEEDBACK β€’ See clear cues when your head moves away from your calibrated baseline β€’ Notice looking down, forward lean, and sideways head tilt β€’ Monitor with AirPods alone without turning on a camera β€’ Adjust detection sensitivity, alert delay, and reminder frequency BUILD A CONSISTENT ROUTINE β€’ Review completed sessions and posture trends in History β€’ Set daily goals and follow your progress β€’ Use reminders during work, study, and everyday focus OPTIONAL CAMERA ASSIST Tap Use Camera Assist during an AirPods session to add posture evidence when your head and torso are visible. Grant camera permission and explicitly add a camera reference while holding your neutral posture. Camera Assist works while the app is in the foreground and the Camera Assist screen is visible. Camera images are processed on device and are never recorded or uploaded. Camera Assist is optional; compatible AirPods are still required. GET STARTED 1. Sign in or create your PostureSense account. 2. Connect compatible AirPods and check that motion data is available. 3. Calibrate your neutral position, then begin your session. COMPATIBILITY Live posture monitoring requires compatible AirPods and an iPhone or iPad. Motion-data availability depends on your AirPods model, connection, device, and system software. AirPods are sold separately. PostureSense supports general wellness and habit awareness. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Stop use and consult a qualified professional if you have pain or health concerns.
