Upright GO vs Poxture

A buzz on your back every time you slouch is a simple idea, and Upright GO does exactly that with a small sensor you wear. Poxture does the same job at your desk with nothing to wear: it watches how you sit through your Mac's camera.

What Upright GO is

Upright GO is a posture trainer you wear on your back. Upright says it detects your posture "with gyroscope precision while sitting, walking or moving" and "gently buzzes when you slouch". It works with the free UPRIGHT app for iPhone and Android. Upright sells two models, UPRIGHT GO 2 and UPRIGHT GO S.^1,2,3

What it costs

On 21 October 2026 Upright's store listed UPRIGHT GO 2 at $79, marked down from $99.95. The UPRIGHT GO S page said "Sold Out" that day. The app is free. Every order has a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty.^1,2,3

Privacy

Upright GO works from a sensor you wear, not a camera. The UPRIGHT app's App Store privacy label lists data linked to you (name, email address, user ID, device ID and crash data) and an identifier used to track you.^1,3

Poxture does use a camera, which is a bigger thing to ask. Its camera images never leave your Mac. The privacy page lists what the app does send and how to turn the usage counts off.

How Poxture is different

Poxture is a Mac app, so there is nothing to wear. By default it checks how you sit once a minute. When you've been leaning in, looking down or propping your chin for three checks in a row, a soft glow at the top of the screen tells you, and a card shows how to fix it.

It only sees you while you're at your Mac. Away from the desk, Upright GO keeps working and Poxture doesn't.¹

At a Mac, both tell you when you slouch. Away from the Mac, Poxture sees nothing, and Upright GO keeps working wherever you wear it.

Which phones does the UPRIGHT app run on?

iPhone and Android, according to Upright's site. Its App Store listing asks for iOS 15.1 or later.

Does Poxture record video?

No. Poxture never saves or shows a camera picture. It reads each frame in memory and drops it.
