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.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Posture Nudge because I kept catching myself looking down and slouching during long coding sessions. By the time I noticed, my neck and shoulders were already sore.
I looked into existing posture trackers, but many of them require a separate device attached to your chest or back. I didn’t want another gadget to wear, charge, or stick to my body, especially in hot weather.
Since I already wear AirPods while working, I started experimenting with their motion sensors. Posture Nudge calibrates your normal head position, detects when you stay tilted down for too long, and gives you a gentle reminder to look up.
I built the app independently with Codex and a lot of trial and error. This is still an early version, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on detection accuracy, reminders, onboarding, or anything that feels confusing.
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.
