Turn your AirPods into a posture coach

[antoniosp1]

AirPosture is a small, free macOS menu bar app that uses your AirPods head-motion to nudge you when you start to slouch.

What it does:

• lives in the menu bar
• detects sustained forward head tilt while AirPods are in-ear
• plays a gentle sound/notification to reset posture
• adjustable sensitivity and grace period
• no accounts, no cloud

Works with:

• AirPods Pro (1st/2nd gen), AirPods (3rd gen), AirPods Max
• macOS 12+ (Apple silicon and Intel)

Quick start:

• connect AirPods to your Mac
• launch AirPosture (menu bar icon appears)
• press Calibrate while sitting upright
• set sensitivity and a short grace (4–8s) to avoid false pings
• optional: quiet hours or mute while on calls

Privacy:

• no mic/camera/location
• data stays on your Mac; no analytics
• uninstall by deleting the app

Known limits:

• needs AirPods models that report head tracking
• only monitors while AirPods are connected and in-ear
• helper tool, not a medical device
