Your AirPods already know when you slouch. Perch turns that into a posture coach that lives in your ears. Perch reads the subtle tilt of your head through the motion sensors in your AirPods. The moment you start to slouch, your audio gently dips and a soft tone rises. Sit back up, and it melts away. No screen to watch, no wearable to charge, no camera pointed at you — just a quiet cue that keeps your posture honest while you work, scroll, or game. HOW IT WORKS - Pop in your AirPods and sit tall once to set your baseline. - Perch watches your head position in the background. - Slouch -> your music quiets and a gentle tone grows. - Straighten up -> everything fades back to normal. BUILT TO BE IGNORED (until you need it) - Runs quietly in the background — start it once and forget it. - Auto-starts the moment your AirPods connect (one-time Shortcuts setup). - Gentle, customizable tones — pick the nudge that fits you best. - See your progress: fewer nudges per hour means the habit is sticking. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. Perch has no account, no analytics, and never sends your motion data anywhere. REQUIRES AirPods (or Beats) with motion sensors — AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd gen or later), AirPods Max, and compatible Beats. — Perch Pro subscription - Weekly — $6.99/week - Yearly — $39.99/year, with a 3-day free trial Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
