Sit up straight — a gentle buzz the moment your neck slumps forward, held too long. Posture uses on-device pose detection to watch your neck angle and remind you, only when a forward-head slump is sustained. The camera never records: we draw only your skeleton, never the video. Nothing leaves your phone. • Sustained forward-head (“tech neck”) reminder • Tunes to you — set your own upright baseline in 3 seconds, then pick a sensitivity and how long a slouch must hold • Alerts your way: vibration, sound or screen flash • Dashboard — upright-share trend by day or week, your streak and a daily goal • 1-minute neck reset after a session: chin tuck, side tilts, shoulder rolls • On-device — we show your skeleton, not the camera • 100% offline — works in airplane mode • No ads, no tracking, no sign-up, no subscription Verify it yourself: turn on airplane mode and it still works. Part of Baro — small, trustworthy tools you reach for first.
