Protect your neck. Keep your phone where it belongs.

You hold your phone too low and tilt your head down — for hours a day. PostureGuard runs quietly in the background and gives you a gentle nudge the moment your posture starts straining your neck.

A small tilt, a heavy cost

A neutral head weighs about 10–12 lbs. But every degree you tilt forward to look at a low-held phone multiplies the load on your cervical spine.

That's like balancing a 7-year-old on your neck — for hours, every day. Over time, forward head posture is linked to spinal-curve flattening, disc degeneration, and chronic pain.

Quietly looking out for you

🛡️

Background monitoring

Works while you use any app, with negligible battery impact. No dashboards to check.

🔔

Gentle, smart nudges

A soft haptic or on-screen prompt only when strain is sustained — never a constant nag.

🛏️

Lie-down detection

Knows when you're reclined or lying down, so a relaxed reading position isn't flagged.

Take a break

Pause alerts for a few hours or a few days with one tap — movies, meetings, vacations.

⚙️

Minimal setup

Set your age once and you're done. Adjust sensitivity any time.

🔒

Private by design

Camera analysis runs on-device. We read angles, never images — nothing leaves your phone.

How it works

1

It senses your setup

The front camera and motion sensors estimate your head angle and how far the phone is from your face — all on-device.

2

It checks the strain

PostureGuard fuses those signals to tell healthy posture from neck-straining tilt, ignoring you when you're reclined.

3

It nudges you

When strain lasts too long, a gentle reminder suggests you raise the phone — before your neck pays for it.

🔒 Your camera stays yours

PostureGuard never records or uploads anything. The front camera is used only to compute posture math locally, and frames are discarded immediately. We see angles — never you.
