PostureKindCalibrated to you
Compare visible head, shoulder, and torso changes with your own comfortable reference rather than a universal posture score.
PostureKind for macOS
A posture reminder app that lives in your menu bar.
Notice sustained posture changes, remember to move, look away, and adjust your support—without keeping a browser tab open. Camera processing happens on your Mac.
Apple Silicon and Intel downloads available. Signed and notarized by Apple.
Built for everyday focus
Useful when your browser is not front and center.
Start a session from the Mac app and receive the posture and work-rhythm experience in a dedicated desktop surface.
More than camera cues
Movement, distance-gaze, and feet-and-support reminders can keep their rhythm even when you choose camera-off mode.
Private by design
Pose estimation runs locally. PostureKind does not record, upload, or retain camera frames or raw pose landmarks.
What it does
A calm workday companion, not a posture judge.
- Runs from the macOS menu bar instead of requiring an open browser tab.
- Waits for a visible change to persist before giving a gentle posture cue.
- Lets you turn cue sounds off and keep the visual reminder.
- Uses the same PostureKind account as the web and Chrome extension.
- Shows your supported habit progress across connected product surfaces.

Questions
Mac posture app FAQ
Does PostureKind record video?
No. Camera frames and raw pose landmarks are processed transiently on your device and are not sent to PostureKind.
Can I use reminders without the camera?
Yes. Camera-off mode keeps timed movement, distance-gaze, and feet-and-support reminders available without camera-based posture comparisons.
Is this a medical app?
No. PostureKind is an ergonomic awareness tool, not a medical device or medical care. It does not diagnose pain or determine whether a position is medically safe.
