Posture Pal — Improve your posture with your AirPods
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.

@jordi_bruin wow! sometimes i am just blown away with people's creativity. congrats! wish you good luck my friend.
Congrats on your launch!
Had a few questions:
1. How does this impact battery life?
2. How did you come up with this idea?
3. Do you have any plans for future AirPod app ideas? (I LOVE the innovation of taking advantage of internal sensors.)
Congrats on your launch! Purchased and downloaded. ⚡️
btw, solid advertising on twitter replies. Not spamming, authentic replies, etc. I appreciate it. <3
Edit: Downloaded and rocking with this for 10 min now on my MacBook. Characters are super cute. Working great for AirPods v2 and MacBook M2.
Would love to be able to adjust my head angle up a bit more.
Turning sensitivity to high works great for me.
Thank you!
@esus thanks for the questions
1. It does not affect battery life at all, whenever your AirPods are connected and active on your Mac, the motion data is already being sent to the system anyway (for things like Spatial Audio). Posture Pal is just piggybacking off of that 🙂
2. I once had an Upright Go, a little thing you stuck to your neck which would vibrate for bad posture. AirPods seem less cyborgy 😉
3. I'm currently working on Push Up Pal (https://x.com/jordibruin/status/...) and other related workout apps that use the AirPods motion sensors
Could you clarify what you mean with "solid advertising on twitter replies"? Do you mean how I respond to how people replied to my announcement tweets?
I'll look into adding more granular sensitivity settings and a nicer calibration mode to visualize how your posture is seen by the system.
Thanks for the super thorough reply!
@jordi_bruin Oh sorry, I meant before the launch. I saw you in the comments of posture related tweets. I appreciated how you mention your product and add to the convo :) Was meant as an authentic complement hahah, sorry if it didn't come off that way :)
Love the idea! 🙌 The pals are cute!
By the way, is there any way we could make this for other earbuds(having motion sensors)?
Of course, airpods should work the best in Apple Ecosystem. But, is there chance for others in the future?
@baruns thanks! The API I'm using is really made to work with Apple's supported headphones so I don't see a way to add support for other headphones right now.
Really innovative use of the AirPods, and great execution. And thanks for being an indie maker inspiration!
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.
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.
Congrats on launching! Unique app for iOS, it was very inspiring seeing you building it for macOS as well💪🏻
Posture Pal is simple & works well. It's a great way to be conscious about posture without bloat. Very interesting to see how AirPods can be used for ideas like this.
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 😊
@stevenminhhh AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, AirPods Max and supported Beats headphones that support Spatial Audio 🙂
@erin611 AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, AirPods Max and supported Beats headphones that support Spatial Audio 🙂
Congrats on the launch! The idea of using AirPods to stay mindful of my posture sounds great. Can't wait to try it!
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 the launch!
No more endless back pains from slouching during those long work hours. This is a perfect blend of technology and health consciousness🔥
