Physical posture correctors — braces, straps, and corrective garments — seem like a quick fix. You strap one on, and it physically pulls your shoulders back. But there's a catch: your muscles never learn to do the work themselves.
The moment you take off the brace, you're right back to slouching. Studies show that passive correctors can actually weaken your postural muscles over time because they do all the work for you.
They're also uncomfortable, visible under clothing, and impractical for all-day wear — especially during video calls or meetings.
Posture Reminder takes a completely different approach. Instead of forcing your body into position, it uses AI and your Mac's built-in camera to watch your posture in real time and sends you a gentle alert when you start slouching.
This trains your brain and muscles to self-correct. Over time, good posture becomes a habit — not something you depend on a device for.
Our AI, PostureNet, uses a deep neural network trained specifically on posture detection. During a quick setup phase, it learns what YOUR good and bad posture looks like. Then it monitors you continuously, giving you a nudge only when needed.
No straps, no discomfort, no accessories to buy. Just your Mac and its camera.
