NeckGuard

AirPods Posture Correction

Your neck pays the price for screen time.

Forward head posture
Also called “turtle neck” or “tech neck” — your head drifts forward without you noticing, adding up to 60 lbs of strain on your cervical spine.

You don’t notice until it hurts
By the time you feel pain, you’ve been in bad posture for hours. The damage compounds day after day.

NeckGuard
Your AirPods detect head tilt in real-time. Get alerted the moment your posture slips. Fix it before it becomes a problem.

Built for Modern Life

Desk Workers

Hours at a desk cause your head to creep forward. NeckGuard catches it in real-time so you can correct before the pain starts.

Students

Long study sessions and laptop use lead to chronic forward head posture. Build awareness early with gentle reminders.

Phone Scrollers

Looking down at your phone strains your neck with up to 60 lbs of pressure. Get alerts when your head drops too far.

Features

AirPods Motion Tracking

Uses CMHeadphoneMotionManager to read your AirPods motion sensors in real-time. No extra hardware needed — just your AirPods Pro or AirPods 3rd gen.

Real-Time Posture Alerts

Get instant haptic and sound alerts when your head tilts forward past your personal threshold. Catch turtle neck before it becomes a habit.

Guided Neck Stretches

Follow step-by-step neck and shoulder stretches designed to relieve tension from prolonged screen time. Timed routines with visual guidance.

Posture Dashboard

Track your posture score over time with daily, weekly, and monthly trends. See how much time you spend in good vs. bad posture zones.

Customizable Sensitivity

Adjust tilt angle thresholds and alert frequency to match your comfort level. Start gentle and increase strictness as your posture improves.
