You never notice the moment you start to slouch. Your head drifts forward, your shoulders round, and forty minutes later your neck is aching. PosturePing catches that moment for you and nudges you upright before the strain adds up. Most posture apps are just a repeating timer that buzzes whether you are sitting tall or folded over your laptop. PosturePing actually measures. You set a baseline in your good, upright position with one tap, and the motion sensors already inside your iPhone watch the angle you drift away from it. Prop the phone up on your desk or slip it in a chest pocket โ€” no wearable, no camera, no extra hardware. When you cross the tilt threshold you chose, you feel a calm double-tap. Nothing else. No sound, no popup, no shame. WHAT YOU GET - A nudge that fires when you are actually slouching, not on a blind schedule - One-tap calibration that teaches the app your own upright position - A sensitivity dial from Gentle to Active, so you decide how much drift is too much - Quiet hours and an adjustable alert gap, so it never buzzes during a meeting or at midnight - Eleven guided neck, shoulder, chest and back routines that undo the desk hunch in under a minute - Weekly upright-time percentage, daily highlights, streaks and session history so you can watch the habit form PERFECT FOR - Desk workers and remote teams living in back-to-back video calls - Students hunched over laptops through long study blocks - Anyone with tech neck from hours of looking down at a phone - People rebuilding a posture habit after a stiff, painful week WHY NOT JUST SET A PHONE ALARM? Because a timer has no idea what you are doing. It interrupts you when you are already sitting perfectly, then stays silent through the twenty minutes you spent collapsed over your keyboard. A reminder you learn to ignore changes nothing. PosturePing only speaks up when your angle says it should, which is why the nudge still works after week one. PosturePing reads device tilt as a proxy for posture to help you build a healthier sitting habit. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. PRIVACY Everything runs on your device. Sessions, baselines and streaks are stored locally on your iPhone โ€” no account, no sign-up, nothing to sync. The app works completely offline. FULL ACCESS One purchase unlocks all of PosturePing: every guided stretch routine, custom sensitivity, alert cadence and quiet hours, plus full session history, streaks and weekly posture insights. Choose the weekly plan, the yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase โ€” yearly and lifetime cost far less over time. Prices appear in your local currency before you confirm. Calibrate once today, work one normal afternoon, and see what your upright percentage really looks like.

Posture Alert

Your AirPods already know when you slouch. Posture Alert just tells you. No camera. No wearable to buy. No sensor to strap on. Posture Alert reads the motion sensors already inside your AirPods, learns how you sit when you sit well, and gives you a gentle nudge the moment you drift out of it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pop in your AirPods and sit the way you want to sit. 2. Tap Start. That posture becomes your baseline. 3. Slouch for longer than your chosen hold time and you get a nudge โ€” a sound, a notification, or both. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข Live posture tracking that runs quietly in the background โ€ข Nudges you can tune โ€” how far you can lean, and how long before it speaks up โ€ข 20-20-20 eye breaks: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds โ€ข Lock Screen Live Activity showing your status and elapsed time at a glance โ€ข Built-in reminder sounds, or record your own instead of another generic beep โ€ข A full history of every session, grouped by day โ€ข Progress charts: your posture over time, when you slouch most, how long you last BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY Everything runs on your device. Your posture data never leaves your iPhone โ€” there is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. Start a session, put the phone down, and get on with your work. REQUIRES AIRPODS Posture Alert needs AirPods (3rd generation or later), AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, or Beats with motion sensors. It cannot measure your posture without them. POSTURE ALERT PRO Your first session is free. Pro unlocks unlimited posture tracking, 20-20-20 eye breaks, custom reminder sounds, and early access to new features. โ€ข Monthly โ€” with a 3-day free trial โ€ข Yearly โ€” the same, at a lower cost per month โ€ข Lifetime โ€” one payment, yours forever Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically for the same period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends, at the price shown in the app. Manage a subscription or turn off auto-renewal in Settings, then your Apple Account, then Subscriptions. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription during that trial. A lifetime purchase is a single payment with nothing to renew.
