“ Hey! I'm Andreas, a university student and software dev who loves to build apps.
Thank you for checking out PodPosture, I began to experience neck pain during online school and PodPosture has really helped me improve posture and reduce neck pain. I hope you like the product :)
The iOS app uses a new API to iOS 14, the CMHeadphone motion API, which allows devs to access the AirPods motion sensor. With this, I deducted that I could utilize the change in acceleration to detect bad posture and reduce my neck pain.
The macOS app is less effective as the API is not available on macOS, however, I created a workaround, I used the RSSI strength from any Bluetooth headphones to detect when your posture degrades and your head gets closer to your Mac.
I really enjoyed building this and thought it would be great to finally launch on Product Hunt, hope you enjoy the app!
Thanks, Andreas ”
