Most posture apps tell you to sit up straight. Posture 12 shows you, in degrees, whether you are actually improving. Measure your posture and mobility with just your phone — on Face ID iPhones, a live depth-sensor neck reading accurate to the degree. Then fix what the measurements find, in the minutes you actually have. RELIEF IN TWO MINUTES Neck tight in a meeting? Tap one button and get a single targeted exercise picked for where you hurt — seated or standing, office clothes, no equipment, done in about two minutes. Smart reminders through your workday open straight into a set, and every one counts toward your daily goal. A DAILY LOOP YOU CAN ACTUALLY KEEP A daily movement ring fills with everything you do — a 2-minute reset at your desk or a full session at home. Build streaks, see your week at a glance, and watch which exercises actually help you, ranked by your own feedback. MEASURE, DON'T GUESS • Live neck range-of-motion check (Face ID iPhones) — degrees, not vibes • Posture photo analysis — your alignment scored and tracked over time • Honest trends: the app only claims progress beyond measurement noise • Photos never leave your phone — only joint positions are analyzed A 12-WEEK PLAN THAT REBUILDS ITSELF Follow a structured program built from the bestselling osteopathy book — 84 days of guided routines that adapt to what you completed, how you rated it, and where your pain is now. You don't decide what to do. You open the app and follow the next ten minutes. A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR HISTORY Ask anything — form checks, exercise swaps, what to do on a flare-up day. Your coach knows your scans, your pain log, and your plan. Every workout tracks your pain before and after, so the app learns what actually works for you. 100 ILLUSTRATED EXERCISES Every exercise drawn with anatomical detail: form cues, contraindications, and exact doses. From desk-safe chin tucks to full strength work — filtered by the equipment you actually own (none required). Tap any exercise to do a 2-minute version or generate a related workout. FREE — NOT A TRIAL These are free forever, no card required: • All 100 exercises and the full workout builder • 2-minute quick resets and the daily goal ring • Pain logging, body map, and your activity history • Your first posture scan and first neck measurement Posture 12 Pro adds the 12-week adaptive program, repeat measurements with trend tracking, and unlimited coaching — from about $5/month billed annually, with a 30-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Built for desk workers, athletes, and anyone dealing with neck pain, back pain, rounded shoulders, or poor mobility. Posture 12 is a fitness and education tool, not a substitute for medical care. If you have an acute injury or diagnosis, see a clinician first.

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. Meeting mode silences alerts when you need to focus, then suggests a longer break to compensate. GUIDED MICRO-ROUTINES Four expert-designed break routines you can do standing at your desk in normal clothes: - Neck and Shoulders (3 min) - chin tucks, side stretches, shoulder rolls, chest opener - Hip Flexor Opener (2 min) - the #1 fix for desk-related back pain - Wrist and Forearm (2 min) - typing strain relief, carpal tunnel prevention - Full Body Reset (5 min) - complete head-to-toe desk recovery EXERCISE LIBRARY Browse 20+ exercises organized by body area. Every exercise includes clear instructions, why it works, and when to use it. No equipment. No gym. No workout clothes. SYMPTOM NAVIGATOR Start from what hurts: "My neck hurts" shows you the exact stretches to fix it, plus the ergonomic change that prevents it from coming back. ERGONOMIC SETUP GUIDE A 5-minute checklist that fixes your monitor height, chair position, keyboard placement, and wrist angle. Prevents 80% of desk pain before it starts. BREAK LOG Track every break: time, type, duration, and how you feel after. Build the movement habit with data. PREMIUM FEATURES Upgrade to unlock custom break routines, break analytics and trends, calendar-integrated meeting mode, AI Posture Guide powered by Grok, and custom app icons. DESIGNED FOR DESK WORKERS Whether you work in an office, from home, or game for hours, Ease provides the movement breaks that prevent pain before it starts.
