Read full descriptionHide full description
Slouchless is a posture reminder that nudges you to sit up straight during desk work. It works with or without AirPods. TWO WAYS TO USE IT - Timed reminders (no AirPods needed): get a "posture check" notification every 15-60 minutes. Works on any iPhone or iPad - just pick an interval and tap Start Reminders. - Automatic posture detection (with AirPods): connect AirPods (supported models) and Slouchless uses their motion sensors to detect when you slouch, then notifies you automatically. Calibrate once in a good posture. No camera, no HealthKit. KEY FEATURES - Timed reminders that need no AirPods or accessories - Automatic posture detection when AirPods are connected - One-tap calibration to set your personal baseline - Tracks your daily good-posture rate and reminder count SLOUCHLESS PRO - Custom sensitivity threshold (5deg-45deg) - 7-day posture history - Ad-free Pro is a one-time purchase β no subscription, no auto-renewal. Existing subscribers keep their access. Terms of Use: https://rivership.org/terms Privacy Policy: https://rivership.org/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nudge at none against Slouchless's shown. Slouchless's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
