# Lumo Lift vs Poxture App > Lumo Lift was a clip-on sensor that buzzed when you slouched. It stopped selling in 2018. Poxture App is a Lumo Lift alternative with nothing to wear. Canonical: https://poxture.com/alternatives/lumo-lift-vs-poxture Last updated: 2026-11-05 [Alternatives](https://poxture.com/alternatives) › Lumo Lift For a few years you could clip a small sensor under your collarbone, and it buzzed every time you slouched. That was Lumo Lift, and its maker stopped selling it in 2018. If you sit at a Mac most of the day, Poxture App does the same job with nothing to wear: it checks your posture through your Mac's camera.

Lumo Lift isn't sold any more, so pick a wearable that is. ## Choose Poxture App if - You spend most of the day at a Mac and would rather not wear anything. - You want something that is sold and supported today. - You want a Mac app that checks for leaning in, looking down and a hand on your face, and shows a card on how to fix each. - You want a free hour every day, with every feature all day for your first 14 days. ## What Lumo Lift was Lumo Lift was a small posture sensor made by Lumo Bodytech. You clipped it onto your shirt, just below your collarbone, with a magnetic clasp. You set your target posture, and it would "gently vibrate when you slouch". It also counted steps, distance and calories, and worked with a free app for iPhone and Android. In 2017 its battery lasted "1-2 days on single charge".[1,2] ## Is Lumo Lift discontinued? Yes. On 29 June 2018 Lumo Bodytech handed its business to an assignee to wind it down. Its support page said it "has discontinued operations and is no longer promoting, manufacturing, or selling any products". Warranty and software support ended. The same notice said customers could use the app "for the next nine months", and that Seismic had bought its assets. I found no later word from Lumo about the app.[3] In January 2017 Lumo's own store listed Lumo Lift at $79.99, marked down from $99.99, with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty. Lumo has sold nothing since June 2018.[2,3] ## A Lumo Lift alternative with nothing to wear Poxture App is a Mac app, so there is nothing to clip on or charge. It checks how you sit once a minute. When you've been looking down or slouching for about half a minute, by default, a soft glow at the top of the screen tells you, and a card shows how to fix it. It checks for [eight habits](https://poxture.com/guides), from leaning in too close to sitting still too long. To be honest, Poxture App only works at your Mac, with its camera on you. Standing in the kitchen, it can't check your posture. Lumo Lift could, though not while you walked.[2] Still want something to wear?

Its page promised "Lifetime activity data storage in the cloud".[2] Poxture App does use a camera, which is a bigger thing to ask. Its camera images never leave your Mac. Poxture App sends usage counts with a random install number and, once a day, rounded posture scores with no install number, and supporters can turn both off in Settings. The [privacy page](https://poxture.com/privacy/app) lists every item. ## Side by side | | Lumo Lift | Poxture App | | --- | --- | --- | | How it notices | A motion sensor clipped below your collarbone | Your Mac's camera or an external webcam, once a minute | | When you slouch | It vibrated | A soft glow at the top of the screen, and a card that shows how to fix it | | Where it works | Sitting or standing, not while walking | At your Mac | | What you need | The sensor, and an iPhone or Android phone with its app | An Apple Silicon Mac with a built-in camera or an external webcam, and macOS 15 or later | | Price | $79.99 in January 2017; not sold since June 2018 | Free an hour a day, $19 once for all day | | Trial or refund | 30-day money-back guarantee in January 2017 | 1 hour a day, free for good; all day for your first 14 days.

Yes. Lumo Bodytech stopped operating on 29 June 2018 and stopped making and selling Lumo Lift. Its support page said warranty and software support were no longer available. ### Does the Lumo Lift app still work? Lumo's 2018 notice said customers could use the app for nine more months. I found no later word from Lumo about it, so I can't say whether it works today. ### What is a good Lumo Lift alternative? If you sit at a Mac most of the day, Poxture App tells you when you slouch with nothing to wear: it checks your posture through your Mac's camera. Away from the Mac it can't check anything, so away from your desk, pick a wearable that is still sold. ### How much did Lumo Lift cost? $79.99 on Lumo's own store in January 2017, marked down from $99.99. Lumo hasn't sold it since June 2018. ### Does Poxture App record video? No. Poxture App never saves or shows a camera picture. It reads each frame in memory and drops it.
