It uses your Mac's built-in camera or an external USB camera, and you can pick which. It "provides gentle reminders when you start to slouch" as notifications, and sits in your menu bar with "visual indicators showing your current posture status". Version 2.2, from 8 April 2026, added a reminder to take a break after a sitting time you set. You can adjust sensitivity, reminder frequency and performance.[1] ## What the listing leaves open Posture Monitor is free to download, with one in-app purchase: Unlock Pro at $5.99. The listing does not say what the free version does, what Pro adds, or whether $5.99 is paid once. It also gives two minimum macOS versions: its information section says macOS 15.5 or later, while its description and developer page say macOS 14.0 or later.[1,2] Poxture App states its plan in one line: the first hour of each day is free for good, and for your first 14 days every feature works all day, and $19 once keeps it on all day. It needs an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) with macOS 15 or later. ## Two habits named, or eight Posture Monitor promises "gentle, non-intrusive notifications when you start to slouch". Its listing names slouching, and a break reminder after a sitting time you set.[1] Poxture App shows a soft glow at the top of your screen when you have been looking down or slouching for about 30 seconds, by default. A card names the habit and shows how to fix it, and the glow turns green once you fix it. It checks [eight habits](https://poxture.com/guides): too close to the screen, looking down, hand on face, slouching, sitting still too long, hunched over, leaning to one side and not working from a proper desk setup. ## Privacy Posture Monitor says "All processing happens locally on your Mac" and that no images, videos or data are sent or stored. Its developer page says camera frames are "immediately discarded" and that "The app works completely offline." Its App Store privacy label says the developer collects no data.[1,2] Poxture App's camera images never leave your Mac. It reads each frame in memory and drops it. 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 all of it. ## Side by side | | Posture Monitor | Poxture App | | --- | --- | --- | | Runs on | Mac; its listing says macOS 15.5 in one place and macOS 14.0 in another | Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 15 or later | | How it notices | Your Mac's built-in camera or a USB camera | Your Mac's camera or an external webcam, once a minute | | How it nudges | A notification, and a menu-bar indicator | A soft glow at the top of the screen and a card that shows how to fix it | | What it names | Slouching, and a break reminder | Eight habits, from looking down to leaning to one side | | Free use | Free to download; what free includes is not stated | 1 hour a day, free for good; all day for your first 14 days | | Price | Unlock Pro $5.99; what it adds is not stated | $19 once | | What it sends | Says nothing is sent; App Store label: no data collected | Usage counts and rounded posture scores; supporters can turn both off | ## Questions ### What's a Posture Monitor alternative that shows me how to fix my posture?
