The best posture app for Mac.
Mac has a couple of webcam posture apps — Nekoze is a free menu-bar nudge, Posture Reminder AI is a $99/yr app. StopSlouching takes a different route: it runs in your browseron macOS, so there's nothing to install, and it coaches you with a guided stretch instead of just a nudge.
Short version: open a tab in Chrome, Edge, Arc or Brave, grant the camera, and you're being coached in about ten seconds — on-device, private, a full hour free.
1 · The web app (zero install)
Runs in any Chromium browser on macOS — Chrome, Edge, Arc or Brave. Grant the camera and you're coached in seconds; it keeps running when you switch tabs or minimize. Nothing to download.
2 · The Chrome extension
Adds cross-tab detection so the coach follows you around the browser — same engine, same subscription. A native macOS menu-bar app is on the roadmap; the browser covers Mac today.
Why webcam beats a reminder timer on Mac
macOS Focus modes and the usual break-timer apps fire on a schedule — every 30 minutes whether you're sitting well or not — so you learn to dismiss them. A webcam coach only interrupts when your posture actuallydrifts below your own calibrated baseline. That's real-time biofeedback, the same mechanism physical therapists use, and it's what makes the habit stick.
StopSlouching does it entirely on your Mac — the webcam feed is processed locally by an on-device AI model and never uploaded. You can confirm it yourself: open DevTools → Network while it runs and watch for frame uploads. There are none.
What you get on Mac
- A real-time 0–100 posture score, broken into head, shoulder and uprightness sub-scores.
- A targeted 30-second stretch when you slouch — chosen for whichever sub-score is weakest, not a generic reminder.
- Cross-tab coverage via the Chrome extension, so the coach follows you around the browser.
- A full hour free to start — no signup, no credit card — then Pro for unlimited use, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
