Notice when your head drifts while you work or study. PostureSense turns motion from compatible AirPods into live posture feedback and adjustable slouch reminders. Build awareness of your sitting posture during desk work and focus sessions. Sign in, connect compatible AirPods, and follow a five-second calibration to set your comfortable neutral position. LIVE POSTURE FEEDBACK • See clear cues when your head moves away from your calibrated baseline • Notice looking down, forward lean, and sideways head tilt • Monitor with AirPods alone without turning on a camera • Choose when sustained posture changes trigger reminders BUILD A CONSISTENT ROUTINE • Review completed sessions and posture trends in History • Use reminders during work, study, and everyday focus OPTIONAL CAMERA ASSIST (BETA) Tap Use Camera Assist during an AirPods session to add posture evidence when your head and torso are visible. Grant camera permission and explicitly add a camera reference while holding your neutral posture. Camera Assist works while the app is in the foreground and the Camera Assist screen is visible. Camera images are processed on device and are never recorded or uploaded. Camera Assist is an optional beta and may not always work correctly; compatible AirPods are still required. GET STARTED 1. Sign in or create your PostureSense account. 2. Connect compatible AirPods and check that motion data is available. 3. Calibrate your neutral position, then begin your session. COMPATIBILITY Live posture monitoring requires compatible AirPods and an iPhone or iPad. Motion-data availability depends on your AirPods model, connection, device, and system software. AirPods are sold separately. PostureSense supports general wellness and habit awareness. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Stop use and consult a qualified professional if you have pain or health concerns.

Sit up straight — a gentle buzz the moment your neck slumps forward, held too long. Posture uses on-device pose detection to watch your neck angle and remind you, only when a forward-head slump is sustained. The camera never records: we draw only your skeleton, never the video. Nothing leaves your phone. • Sustained forward-head (“tech neck”) reminder • Tunes to you — set your own upright baseline in 3 seconds, then pick a sensitivity and how long a slouch must hold • Alerts your way: vibration, sound or screen flash • Dashboard — upright-share trend by day or week, your streak and a daily goal • 1-minute neck reset after a session: chin tuck, side tilts, shoulder rolls • On-device — we show your skeleton, not the camera • 100% offline — works in airplane mode • No ads, no tracking, no sign-up, no subscription Verify it yourself: turn on airplane mode and it still works. Part of Baro — small, trustworthy tools you reach for first.
