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.

Heighten
Read full descriptionHide full description
Slouching is hiding some of your height. Heighten is a posture scan for your iPhone: two photos show exactly how many centimeters your slouch is costing you, then a daily posture workout with neck exercises coaches you to fix posture, stand taller and get them back. POSTURE CHECKER IN TWO PHOTOS Stand in front of the camera, turn to your side, and get a clear Posture Score with plain-language observations like "your head sits forward of your shoulders" instead of jargon. The scan reads forward head posture, rounded shoulders and uneven hips, the patterns behind tech neck, also called text neck, and, over the years, a neck hump or dowager hump. See the centimeters your current stance is costing you, then watch the number shrink as you improve. FIX POSTURE WITH A POSTURE WORKOUT BUILT FROM YOUR SCAN Every day gets a short corrective routine assembled from your own results, neck exercises like chin tucks beside chest openers, focused on what you actually need: opening the chest, bringing the head back over the shoulders, leveling the base. Posture correction only sticks when it starts from your own body, so there is no generic stretching list here. Five minutes, no equipment, and your music keeps playing while you train. Think of it as a posture corrector with nothing to strap on. YOUR AIRPODS WATCH YOUR BACK Start a desk session and your AirPods notice the moment you begin to sink. Sit tall for a few seconds to set your personal baseline, then work as usual; a gentle chime brings you back upright. It is a posture reminder that fires only when you actually slouch, never on a timer. Honest tracking that pauses when it cannot watch, and never pretends. A POSTURE TRACKER THAT MEASURES AGAINST YOU Rescan and see your score climb against your own starting point, never against a stranger's ideal. Keep the streak alive with the daily routine, check your session history to see how upright your desk hours really are, and share your score when you are proud of it. This is how you get taller without growing a millimeter: stand up straight, improve posture, and the height was yours all along. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Heighten is a posture app that keeps everything on your device. Your photos and scans never leave your iPhone, analysis runs entirely on the phone, there is no account and no sign-up, and the daily reminder always names the exercise waiting for you instead of nagging. Heighten shares alignment observations, not medical advice. For pain or concerns, see a professional. Free to download; some features are available through an optional subscription, with details shown in the app before any purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Posture12 at none against Heighten's shown. Posture12 also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
