What Posture Reminder AI is
Posture Reminder AI is a Mac app by Leon Wei, listed on the App Store as Liang Wei. It "uses your camera to monitor your posture and sends gentle reminders when you slouch". It works with the built-in camera, an external one or an iPhone through Continuity Camera, as long as your face and shoulders are in view. You set it up "in two quick captures": upright, and your usual slouch. Sitting and standing each get their own setup.1,4

A subscription, or one payment
The app is free to download, and every feature is free for one hour from your first launch, with no card. After that, "A subscription is required to continue posture monitoring". On 2 November 2026 that was $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year in the US, billed by Apple. Twelve months of the monthly plan comes to $119.88. Family Sharing comes with the yearly plan only.2,4
Poxture App is $19, paid once. Poxture App is free to use: the first hour of each day is free for good, and for your first 14 days every feature works all day.
A notification or a glow
Its reminders arrive as macOS notifications, so it asks for notification permission, and its site notes that Focus can silence them. You can set the shortest time between alerts.1
Poxture App doesn't use macOS notifications for its nudges. When you've been looking down or slouching for about half a minute, by default, the top edge of your screen glows, and a card names the habit and shows the fix.
Which Macs they run on
Posture Reminder AI needs macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later and runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. It is available only on Mac.1,2,4
Poxture App runs only on Apple Silicon Macs, with macOS 15 or later.
Privacy
Its App Store listing says camera images "are never recorded, uploaded or shared", and that calibration stores only posture measurements on the Mac. Its privacy policy says RevenueCat, the service that checks your subscription, receives your purchase history and an app-specific identifier.3,4
Poxture App's 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 lists each one.
