Noodle helps you catch slouching sooner and build a better sitting habit one reset at a time. Start a Slouch Watch, sit tall once to calibrate, and Noodle uses supported AirPods or Beats head-motion data to watch for forward hunching while you work, study, scroll, game, or take calls. When you start curling toward the screen, Noodle gives you a gentle cue to sit upright again. Want to try it first? Slouch Test Drive lets you sit tall, slouch on purpose, and watch Noodle catch the hunch before you subscribe. Trends shows how your posture habit is growing with live reads, manual check-ins, upright minutes, streaks, best days, and weekly or monthly scores. Your Noodle levels up too: earn ranks, unlock hats, held items, backgrounds, and shareable Noodle cards as you keep showing up. Features include: Live slouch and hunch detection with supported AirPods or Beats Gentle alerts, optional sounds, and background notifications Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activities See today's posture at a glance with a home screen widget Slouch Test Drive, Trends, check-ins, streaks, and ranks Unlockable hats, items, backgrounds, and share cards Adjustable detection and movement sensitivity Motion processing on device Noodle is for everyday moments when your neck, back, and shoulders start drifting toward the screen. No complicated routines. Just a small nudge to sit tall again. Noodle Pro unlocks full Slouch Watch access, live hunch alerts, Trends, streaks, ranks, and style rewards. Subscription options may include Weekly Pro at $2.99/week and Annual Pro at $24.99/year. Prices may vary by country or region.

Monius is the habit tracker that changes the plan when the plan isn't working. Write a habit as one sentence. Let Apple Health and Screen Time mark it where they can. Every Sunday, Reflect reads your week and proposes one change: a little more, a little less, or a rest. Nothing is scored. There are no streaks and no percentages anywhere in the app — not hidden, absent. WRITTEN AS A SENTENCE "Walk 7,000 steps, after I leave the office, every day — because the walk clears my head." That sentence is the habit: name, cue, rhythm and reason, in one line you would say out loud. COMPLETES ITSELF Steps, distance, workouts, exercise minutes, sleep, mindful minutes, time in daylight, water and more, read from Apple Health. Screen Time habits work both ways: at least 20 minutes in a reading app, or under 30 minutes in the apps you choose. You tick only what only you can know. REFLECT PROPOSES, YOU DECIDE Every Sunday, one honest look at the week and a concrete proposal: raise, ease, or rest. You accept it in one tap, or you don't. When a day slips, Monius asks why — no time, wasn't near it, didn't want to — and the answer shapes the next proposal. A LIMIT THAT HOLDS When you reach a Screen Time limit, the shield says how far over you are and shows a line from the quote library, not a scolding. "15 more minutes" is there when you need it — or, if you choose, once a day and no more. STOIC AT ITS CORE A morning quote from Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and some 50 other writers, each from a named public-domain translation. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Explain puts a line in plain words, on your device. A quote widget for your Home Screen, and a share card when a line is worth passing on. QUIET BY DESIGN Monius only sends what you asked for: a morning quote and an evening reflection if you switch them on, the Sunday review, a reminder for each habit you gave a time, and one quiet report when habits complete themselves. Nothing fires on a day that is already done. Never a nag, never a guilt trip. YOUR DATA DOES THE WORK, ON YOUR PHONE Because everything stays on your device, Monius can read Apple Health and Screen Time and think about your week without sending any of it anywhere. No account. No analytics. No third-party servers. Your record syncs through your own private iCloud, where we cannot read it. Health data is read, never written. ONE PAYMENT Try everything for two Sundays. Then one purchase, yours forever. No subscription. Monius uses Apple Health (read-only) and Screen Time, each only when you switch it on for a habit. Siri and Shortcuts can create and complete habits on your device.
