PostureKind vs Poxture App

If you move between a work laptop's browser and your own Mac, PostureKind follows you with one account: on the web, in Chrome and in the Mac menu bar. Poxture App lives only on your Mac, needs no account, and you pay for it once. Every fact about PostureKind below comes from PostureKind's own website and its Chrome Web Store listing.

One account, three places

PostureKind says "Use PostureKind on the web, in Chrome, or from the macOS menu bar with one account." The Mac app comes in Apple Silicon and Intel builds. You sign in with Google or an email account. Its download page says the Mac app "currently needs an internet connection for sign-in, subscription access, and the hosted monitor."^1,2,5

Poxture App is a Mac app only, for Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 15 or later. There is no account to make and nothing to sign in to.

How PostureKind checks your posture

Setup is a "guided three-view calibration": front, left side and right side. After that, PostureKind "compares visible head, shoulder, and torso changes with your own comfortable reference", and "gentle cues wait for a change to persist instead of reacting to every movement." A cue shows on screen, with a quiet sound you can turn off and system notifications if you allow them.^1,2

You can also keep the camera off. Then PostureKind gives timed reminders for movement breaks, looking into the distance and foot support, which it calls "the useful details the camera may not see."¹

What it costs

PostureKind has a 10-minute preview on the web, then a 7-day trial of either plan. "A payment method is required; cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge." Standard is $3.99 a month or $29 a year. Pro is $7.99 a month or $59 a year, and adds custom cue sensitivity and timing, 30 days of history stored locally and a CSV export.^1,4

Poxture App asks for no card. 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. To keep it on all day you pay $19 once. Two years of PostureKind Standard on the yearly plan comes to $58.

Privacy

PostureKind says "Camera frames and raw pose landmarks are processed transiently on your device and are not uploaded to PostureKind." Its privacy policy says it syncs subscribers' session summaries and deletes them after 90 days, keeps its own product events for 90 days, and uses no advertising or cross-site analytics trackers. Its Chrome Web Store listing says it handles personally identifiable information, authentication information and user activity.^1,3,5

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 lists every item.

What the camera checks

With the camera on, PostureKind checks your head and screen, your shoulder line, and your torso and support.¹

Poxture App checks for eight habits through the camera, including too close to the screen, looking down, a hand on your face and leaning to one side. When you've held a habit like 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. When you have, the glow turns green.
