Posture Pal uses the motions sensors in your AirPods to detect your posture. The posture pal characters will give subtle reminders from the bottom of your Mac to help you sit straight.
Posture Pal is available for macOS Sonoma today! Improve your work posture by wearing your AirPods.
A macOS version was the number one requested feature since the iOS app became App of the Month in China back in April 2022. Now in macOS Sonoma Apple added the necessary APIs 🙂
While you're working, Rafi and friends are keeping an eye on your posture by using the motion sensors in your AirPods. When you start slouching, they will appear from the bottom of your screen for a fun yet very effective warning!
It's available for free from the Mac App Store, and you can unlock all characters (as well as all pro features for the iOS version) for a one time purchase of $4.99!

Love the Idea! I tried to install it, but it requires the latest macOS. I will definitely try to use it as soon as I update.
Could be a great app for iOS as well!
Congrats on your launch!
It’s the most innovative way of using AirPods I’ve ever seen.
Does it actually advice the correct posture of our head, right?
It seemed to me that you use machine learning to predict the result.
This is actually genius. Congrats on the launch! Can't wait to try it out. Currently slouched over my laptop with my AirPods in lmao 🤣
oh, interesting, and a cool way to unlock a useful but underutilized tech in something we already use
Congrats on launching! Unique app for iOS, it was very inspiring seeing you building it for macOS as well💪🏻
Oh that is a very interesting idea! I feel like this could really help a lot of people improve their posture which is super important. Congratulations on the launch 😊
Cool idea. One question: does it only work with airpods, or it works with other earbuds as well?
That's so cool! I never knew AirPods could help with posture. It's amazing how technology can be used in unexpected ways. I'll give this app a try and see if it helps me sit up straight while I'm working.
