A soft reminder to fix your posture.
Looking down at your phone again? When you hold it face-up, a faint red bar appears across the screen to remind you to lift your head. Tilt your phone upright and the bar goes away.

Your settings stay on your phone
Posture Aid checks your phone's motion sensor to tell whether you're holding it face-up. It doesn't track your head or where you're looking, and the sensor reading is never saved or sent anywhere. Your schedule, Wi-Fi names and trial date stay on your phone. Adding your current Wi-Fi network is the only time the app asks for location permission, because Android needs that permission to show the network's name. The app also keeps a small log of technical events on your phone, such as errors and crashes. It never records your location, your Wi-Fi names or anything you type. Nothing is sent automatically. The log leaves your phone only if you choose Report a problem and press send on the email draft.
A few things you might be wondering
Will the red bar get in the way?
No. It's faint, and your taps go right through to the app underneath.
Why does it need permission to display over other apps?
That's the permission Android needs to let Posture Aid show the bar while you're using another app. You'll be asked for it when you first turn the reminder on.
Does it work on iPhone?
Not right now. Posture Aid is an Android app.
Does it collect data about me?
No. There's no account to create, no ads and no analytics. Google Play handles payments, so we never see your payment details. The app doesn't send anything to us on its own. We only receive information if you choose to email us a problem report.
How do I cancel?
Open Google Play, go to Subscriptions, choose Posture Aid and cancel. You'll need to do this even if you've deleted the app. Deleting it doesn't cancel the subscription.
Found a bug?
In the app menu, choose Report a problem. It opens a draft email to us in your own email app, with your app version, phone model, Android version, settings and a short log of recent technical events. The log doesn't include your location, Wi-Fi names or anything you typed. You can read and edit the draft, and nothing is sent unless you press send.
