StopSlouching vs Poxture App
On a Mac today, StopSlouching is a web app: its site says a native macOS build is "coming soon". You can try its live demo with no account. It scores your head, your shoulders and how upright you sit, and can suggest a 30-second stretch for the weakest of the three. Poxture App already runs from the Mac menu bar and checks eight habits. Every fact about StopSlouching below comes from StopSlouching's website, its Microsoft Store listing or its Chrome Web Store listing.

What StopSlouching is
StopSlouching is made by ScreenPulse, "an independent software studio". It comes as a web app in your browser, a Windows app from the Microsoft Store and a Chrome extension, and "one subscription covers all three". You sit straight for a few seconds to set your own baseline. From then on it reads your posture from the webcam, on your own computer, and nudges you with a browser or desktop notification. It offers "Targeted 30-second stretches routed to your weakest sub-score". The Windows app also lets you adjust the timing, can chime, and can show a small always-on-top window that turns red.1,3,4,5,6
Three parts in one score, or eight habits
StopSlouching gives you "a real-time 0–100 posture score", split into head, shoulder and uprightness parts. Its pages name no other habits.5,6
Poxture App tells you which of eight habits you slipped into: too close to the screen, looking down, hand on face, slouching, sitting still too long, hunched over, leaning to one side, or not working from a proper desk setup. The card for that habit shows the fix, and the glow at the top of the screen turns green once you've fixed it.
On a Mac today
StopSlouching says "A native macOS build is coming soon", and that for now the web app runs on a Mac. In Chrome and other Chromium browsers you get full use. In Firefox and Safari, it checks only while its tab is on screen.1,4
Poxture App is built for the Mac. It runs from your menu bar on an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 15 or later, and checks your posture while you work in any app. The camera is off whenever it isn't checking: when you pause, outside your work hours, during calls if you choose, and when the Mac is locked.
Try it, then pay
StopSlouching has a free live demo with no account: calibrate, slouch, get the nudge. To keep it running you sign in and go Pro, at $2.99 a month, $24.99 a year or $39.99 once for life. Asked "Is there a free trial?", its FAQ answers that the live demo is free, keeping it running is Pro, and there is a 14-day money-back guarantee.1,6
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. There is no account. $19 once keeps it on all day, with a full refund within 14 days, no questions.
Privacy
StopSlouching says frames are analysed on your computer and thrown away, and that no frames, images or landmarks are uploaded. Its privacy policy lists what it does keep: your account email and sign-in provider, your plan, a "how you found us" answer and server logs with your IP address for 30 days. Its marketing pages load Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity session recordings and Reddit and TikTok ad pixels after you accept cookies, and never on the app page itself. Its Chrome Web Store listing says it handles personal, sign-in and location information.1,2,7
Poxture App has no account and no web app, so there is no sign-in to keep. 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 lists all of it.
