Orvyn vs Plumb

Research suggests most people who work at a computer get neck pain every year — as high as 63% in some studies (Physical Therapy, 2018). The cause is usually silent: as you lean into a screen all day, your head drifts forward millimeter by millimeter. Your head weighs about 5 kg upright; tilt it forward to 60° to read your phone and your neck starts carrying a load of roughly 27 kg (Hansraj, 2014). Orvyn flips that story — a quiet posture coach that lives in the AirPods you already wear. SIT TALL. STAND TALL. WORK TALL. No posture brace, no smartwatch, no camera. Calibrate your upright once, and Orvyn reads your AirPods' motion sensors to catch the moment your head drifts forward. The cue never buzzes your phone — it arrives where only you can hear it. You just sit tall again. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pop in your AirPods and calibrate your upright baseline once — about 30 seconds. 2. Orvyn quietly tracks your head angle; its rebuilt engine reacts in roughly 2 seconds, and the moment you drift forward a cue brings you back up. NEW: SIT / STAND DETECTION Desk workers sit around 10 hours a day (BMC Public Health, 2020). Orvyn surfaces those hours: your sitting time, your longest unbroken sit, and your sit-versus-stand split — and when you have sat too long, it invites you to get up and stand tall. WORK ASSISTANT A focus clock that guards your neck. Work in posture-guarded rounds with short breaks and follow the countdown in the Dynamic Island. Drift forward mid-round and Orvyn tells you — quietly.

Sit tall, without thinking about it. Plumb is a calm, private posture-awareness companion. It learns the comfortable "tall" you set for yourself, gently notices when your head drifts forward, and nudges you to ease back — at your desk, or hands-free through your AirPods. A prompt to notice, not a verdict. Plumb learns your neutral, not a textbook ideal — and the fastest way to lose your trust would be to overclaim, so it stays plain-spoken about what it can and can't do. TWO WAYS TO USE IT Hands-free with AirPods — the everyday mode. Plumb reads your head position from compatible AirPods or Beats, so your phone can stay pocketed or locked. A soft tone cues you the moment you drift past your own threshold, and goes quiet the instant you ease back. Camera at your desk — the screen-attended alternative. The front TrueDepth camera reads your head position at desk distance — and your shoulders when they're in view. Frames are processed in the moment and immediately discarded — never previewed, saved, or uploaded. It can't see your lower back, and we won't pretend otherwise. CALM BY DESIGN • A gentle nudge — a soft tone, a tap, or both. It gets slightly more insistent on a long slump, and stops the moment you ease back. • Breathing and small shifts inside your neutral zone never count. • A "held tall" timer tracks your time in a comfortable position. • A stylised living figure reflects how you're holding your head — no camera image or video is ever stored or shown back. • Insights answers one honest question: am I improving? A clear average, an honest change once there's enough history, and quiet days left as blank space, never guessed. • Learn — six short, evidence-anchored reads on why noticing your posture matters, each with its limits stated plainly. YOUR POSTURE NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE • Everything is analysed on your device. There are no Plumb servers and no backend — there's nothing to send. • No account, ever. No sign-up, no email, no login. • No ads, no trackers, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. • iCloud sync is off by default and opt-in; it goes only to your own private iCloud. • Apple Health is write-only — Plumb can log a Mindful Minutes session and never reads your health data. SIMPLE, TIME-METERED PRICING Time is the only free meter — no feature walls. Free, forever: one check-in a day across both modes, up to five minutes, with the full nudge experience, the pain log, your two-week Insights window, and the whole Learn library. Plumb+ unlocks unlimited check-ins at any length, the hands-free Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, Month and Year Insights, and CSV / PDF export. Plumb+ comes three ways: Weekly, Annual (with a 7-day free trial), or a one-time Lifetime unlock.
