Turn your AirPods into a gentle posture coach

Most posture trackers ask you to wear or stick another device on your body. Posture Nudge works with supported AirPods you may already be wearing. After a quick calibration, it uses their motion sensors to notice when your head stays tilted down and gives you a gentle reminder to look up. No chest clip, no back sensor, and no extra hardware to charge. I built it for my own coding sessions, and I’m launching it now to learn from real users.
One thing I'd love is a way to set quiet hours so the nudges stop during meetings or after work, since right now I'd worry about getting pinged when I'm deliberately looking down at notes or cooking. A simple scheduler or focus mode toggle would make this feel much less intrusive.
@kbrabrklr3se Thanks for the thoughtful feedback — this makes a lot of sense. Quiet hours and a quick pause or focus mode would help avoid reminders during meetings, cooking, or other intentional activities. I’ve added this to my roadmap.
love that you leaned into hardware people already own instead of inventing another thing to charge. the calibration-first approach is smart, basically lets the nudge feel personal instead of randomly yelling at you mid-flow. congrats on shipping
@fadime65035 Thank you! That’s exactly what I was aiming for. I wanted the reminder to adapt to each person instead of using a fixed angle for everyone. Really glad the calibration-first approach made sense, and thanks for checking it out!
Tried it during my afternoon work block and the calibration took maybe 30 seconds. Loved that it just used the AirPods I was already wearing, and the nudge fired right when I caught myself hunching over my laptop.
@selim321016 Thanks so much for trying it! I’m really glad the calibration felt quick and the reminder came at the right moment. That’s exactly the kind of real-world use case I built it for.
Using the AirPods motion sensors is a clever bit of repurposing that avoids adding another gadget to charge. That kind of restraint in design is refreshing.
@pelin80jp Thank you! That was exactly the idea — no extra device to buy, wear, or charge. I’m glad you noticed that design choice.
love that it leans on airpods you already own instead of asking for more hardware. that calibration step sounds like the kind of small touch that makes the whole thing feel less gimmicky and actually useful.
@nehirulasa80495 Thank you! That was exactly the goal — to use hardware people already have and make the reminders feel personal rather than generic. I’m glad the calibration step came across as genuinely useful.
