I created NeckUp because I spent too much time sitting and looking down at screens, often realizing only after a focus session had ended that my neck and shoulders were already tense. I wanted to build a focus app that not only tracks time, but also pays attention to how your body feels. NeckUp is a focus app that combines timer-based concentration, posture reminders, and gentle neck movement exercises to help you stay attentive during work or study while also taking better care of your body. [Key Features] β€’ Focus Timer / Pomodoro Build a calmer and more sustainable rhythm for work and study with a clean, distraction-free focus timer. β€’ Head-Down and Posture Reminders Detect prolonged head-down posture during focus sessions and remind you to lift your head and reduce neck strain. β€’ Neck Movement Mini Game Use head movement to interact with a simple game that encourages gentle neck activity during breaks, helping relieve stiffness from long periods of sitting. β€’ Focus History and Progress Insights View your daily focus heatmap, focus duration, and posture performance to better understand your work habits and physical state over time. [Requirements] Before using the posture reminder feature, please make sure you have one of the following headphones or a later compatible model: β€’ AirPods Pro (1st generation) β€’ AirPods Pro (2nd generation) β€’ AirPods (3rd generation) β€’ AirPods (4th generation, including both standard and ANC versions) β€’ AirPods Max β€’ Select Beats headphones with dynamic head tracking, such as Beats Fit Pro and Beats Studio Pro [Who It's For] β€’ People who spend long hours studying or working at a desk β€’ People who often look down at screens for extended periods and experience neck or shoulder discomfort β€’ People who want to improve focus without ignoring physical well-being NeckUp is not just about getting more done. It is also about remembering to look up, relax, and take care of your body while you focus.
