Every drop counts. Every shower matters. By 2025, two-thirds of the world's population may face water shortages. Over 2 billion people already lack access to safe drinking water. Freshwater—the water we drink, bathe in, and use to grow food—makes up just 3% of Earth's water, and most of that is locked in glaciers. The crisis is here. But you can help—one shower at a time. ShowerTrack helps you: Build a personalized shower routine with timed steps Track gallons saved, money saved, and time saved See your real environmental impact Stay on pace with audio cues—no peeking at your phone Share your progress and inspire others

About

Plumb

Features
Read full description

Sit tall, without thinking about it. Plumb is a calm, private posture-awareness companion. It learns the comfortable "tall" you set for yourself, gently notices when your head drifts forward, and nudges you to ease back — at your desk, or hands-free through your AirPods. A prompt to notice, not a verdict. Plumb learns your neutral, not a textbook ideal — and the fastest way to lose your trust would be to overclaim, so it stays plain-spoken about what it can and can't do. TWO WAYS TO USE IT Hands-free with AirPods — the everyday mode. Plumb reads your head position from compatible AirPods or Beats, so your phone can stay pocketed or locked. A soft tone cues you the moment you drift past your own threshold, and goes quiet the instant you ease back. Camera at your desk — the screen-attended alternative. The front TrueDepth camera reads your head position at desk distance — and your shoulders when they're in view. Frames are processed in the moment and immediately discarded — never previewed, saved, or uploaded. It can't see your lower back, and we won't pretend otherwise. CALM BY DESIGN • A gentle nudge — a soft tone, a tap, or both. It gets slightly more insistent on a long slump, and stops the moment you ease back. • Breathing and small shifts inside your neutral zone never count. • A "held tall" timer tracks your time in a comfortable position. • A stylised living figure reflects how you're holding your head — no camera image or video is ever stored or shown back. • Insights answers one honest question: am I improving? A clear average, an honest change once there's enough history, and quiet days left as blank space, never guessed. • Learn — six short, evidence-anchored reads on why noticing your posture matters, each with its limits stated plainly. YOUR POSTURE NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE • Everything is analysed on your device. There are no Plumb servers and no backend — there's nothing to send. • No account, ever. No sign-up, no email, no login. • No ads, no trackers, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. • iCloud sync is off by default and opt-in; it goes only to your own private iCloud. • Apple Health is write-only — Plumb can log a Mindful Minutes session and never reads your health data. SIMPLE, TIME-METERED PRICING Time is the only free meter — no feature walls. Free, forever: one check-in a day across both modes, up to five minutes, with the full nudge experience, the pain log, your two-week Insights window, and the whole Learn library. Plumb+ unlocks unlimited check-ins at any length, the hands-free Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, Month and Year Insights, and CSV / PDF export. Plumb+ comes three ways: Weekly, Annual (with a 7-day free trial), or a one-time Lifetime unlock. You'll always see the exact price for your region on the subscription screen before anything is charged. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple Account; cancel anytime in App Store → Subscriptions. Trial eligibility is decided by Apple. Made with care, and localised into nine languages. Plumb is a wellness and posture-awareness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. If you have a health concern, please speak to a qualified professional. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
