By 4pm, your neck already knows.
You never feel the slouch while it is happening. You feel it hours later. BetterPosture watches quietly from your menu bar and nudges you the moment your head drifts, so it never gets that far.
Free at launch. Lives in your menu bar. macOS 13+, Apple Silicon.

(BetterPosture watches from the menu bar)
Head's drifted forward. Take a sec to reset?
One day at your desk, and where it lands.
You sit down sharp. Shoulders square, screen at eye level, coffee still hot.
Deep in it now. Your head has crept toward the screen and your shoulders have rounded. You have no idea.
You stand up and your neck is tight, your lower back aches, and you cannot name the moment it started.
It started around 1:47. That is the moment BetterPosture would have caught, with a calm nudge you could act on or wave away.
BetterPosture catches it in the moment, so you can reset before any of this lands.
Calibrate. Forget. Get a nudge.
Twenty seconds to set up. Then it disappears until you actually need it.
Calibrate once
Show your good posture and your slouch so BetterPosture knows what to watch for. About twenty seconds, one time.
Hold still, capturing...
Reading 1 of 2 (your good posture)
watching quietly
no dock icon, no window
Forget it's there
Lives in your menu bar. Takes silent webcam reads on its own schedule. Never opens a window or steals focus.
Get a quiet nudge
When your head drifts forward, a gentle overlay appears. Reset, snooze, or ignore it. It is gone in a moment either way.
Head's drifted forward. Take a sec to reset?
A camera app you can actually leave running.
Most posture tools want your webcam on someone else's servers. That is the exact reason people close them. BetterPosture never does.
Nothing leaves your Mac
Pose detection runs on-device. Frames are read into memory and discarded. No video is stored or uploaded, ever.
It reads posture, not footage
Each reading is a handful of body points (head, neck, shoulders). The camera frame is gone the moment it is used.
You can see what it's doing
Snoozes are visible and revocable. What gets measured is shown plainly. Trust is the whole product, not a footnote.
Built to fade into the background.
The things you should never have to think about, so you don't.
On your Mac, only
Pose detection runs locally. Frames are never stored or uploaded.
Calibrated to you
Learns your baseline, not someone else's idea of good posture.
Stays out of the way
No dock icon. No window stealing focus. Lives in the menu bar until you've actually drifted.
Nudges, not nags
A calm overlay when you've drifted. No alarms, no shaming, no streak guilt.
Snooze that respects you
Heads down for a meeting? Snooze and BetterPosture stays quiet.
